Coming off an injury ... He would be behind Bailey, Scott, and Mac even if he was healthy ...
So we didn't offer him in high school. But that was Lovie, right?
John Williams is the starting LT for Cincinnati and is from Bolingbrook. A lot of linemen we missed out on.
Here is my ?. We have recruited several good OL in the last couple of years. I think of Joey Okla as one. Haven’t had a chance on the field. There are others. If we try to secure a transfer what will our redshirt think or will they get a sniff on the field. I can see if we get a former highly rated transfer to play.
Henderson is the only tackle on the roster next year that’s ready to play
Joey okla is an interior linemen

Is your premise that Miller doesn't know his personnel?
Dollars to donuts, the reason that young OL haven't seen the field is that they're behind guys. Wisecarver is a good example. Most heralded OL in his class. Nobody cares at the next level. Kid couldn't cut it.
It's a tough business. Coaching staff is ALWAYS looking to upgrade. If you're chaff or marginal, your ride is more valuable freed up.
Instead of getting a 4 star bust from a big program I would rather get someone that played at a lower level and excelled
Exactly, it’s a business and they are trying to win. The interior oline is set but the question is tackle. It would’ve been huge to add someone like Marques cox or Marcellus Johnson. Two instate kids that have gone from Mac programs to starting in the sec. D line should also be a priority on the portal.
Was scrolling this thread and thought the same thing. Seemed like he had some promise coming in until the injury. i believe it was the ACL too. Hope he sticks around and develops.
He was in on a few snaps in the Indiana game in pretty sure, no targets though.
For those looking for college and pro depth charts, go to OURLADS. That is where I check future and current Illinois players and year group. I would say it is about 95% accurate.
I guess every son is Ma's son, but that's a lot of Masons! Happy Thanksgiving!

Late reply to this, seen Sisson playing for the 3A Mount Carmel vs Roxana on YouTuber (RiverBender.com's channel). That Mt Carmel offense was Sisson, got some Vince Young in Rose Bowls vibes for himIn-state ATH Blayne Sisson decommits from SIU scholarship for PWO at Illinois. I guess we stay in communication with all of these guys, especially around signing day.
Mount Carmel ATH Blayne Sisson commits to Illini as PWO: 'Playing in the Big Ten is a dream'
Blayne Sisson committed to Southern Illinois in July thinking he’d play college football close to home on scholarship. But when the Mount Carmel (Ill.) native received a247sports.com
. The 3A title might be Byron vs Sisson.
Not sure what your definition of late bloomer in-state prospect is — jumped in ratings late in his senior year, relatively low ranking/rating — nor if by this year you mean 2023 recruit playing this year or a 2024 recruit, but Mac Resetich might qualify. Ended up a nationally, unranked 3* who was ranked mid-thirty in state, and getting some play this year. Had that pick against IU and 3 solos versus Iowa.
