Since we are using a lot of the NIL money for Retaining our own players, can we actually get several more transfers now or are we about tapped out money wise?
Will he have the grades to get into Illinois?
I get that Luke is our guy, but the staff is kicking the tires here right?
Insiders will know for sure, but I'm assuming Bret will always do his due diligence with the QB market.I get that Luke is our guy, but the staff is kicking the tires here right?
I'd be shocked if it was anything more than peripheral evaluation/communication. Sure they'll all be big NIL numbers and we have much bigger needs.I get that Luke is our guy, but the staff is kicking the tires here right?
We are likely spending any spare NIL nickels on defenders and OL.
Who on that list do you want and who would come here?I get that Luke is our guy, but the staff is kicking the tires here right?
A decent chunk of these guys are noticeably worse than Altmyer.

a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. not to mention, those bush birds are gonna cost a stuff ton.
honestly, I don't get it...shiny, new things syndrome?
It seemed that he mentioned Leary in several press conferences late in the season, I was guessing he was doing some good things in practice.Being completely serious … We can’t afford any QB on that list and none of them would even want to come here …
Luke is our guy … Bret is looking to add a backup QB …
Leary really came on strong towards end of the year … I’d guess he is QB2 but they’re gonna bring in some competition …
A decent chunk of these guys are noticeably worse than Altmyer. Gabriel is following his guy to Miss. State. Leonard is going to cost a boat load and has been widely reported as off to Notre Dame. Ward and McCall are going to get paid and likely going to programs with national title aspirations. Maybe Howard too. I would take Altmyer's long-term future over Moore, DJ, Van Dyke, and Rogers. Some of these guys have gotten multiple coaches fired.
I'm starting to think some of you are using Paddock's great string of play as a mark against Altmyer. Altmyer was the fourth-best QB in the Big Ten across a lot of metrics and he was a first-time starting sophomore. He is looking like the long-term QB piece that Illinois hasn't had in years. He is exactly who we want.
Couldn't get into scUM, wait listed at UNC & Puke, so chose the BelovedWill he have the grades to get into Illinois?
I know this is sarcasm, but Yale gave out 79% A's last yearWill he have the grades to get into Illinois?
Think majority of fans just want to know we have a viable #2 option at QB next season. Our track record of using only one QB in a season goes back awhile.....due to injury or performanceThese same people want the Bears to take two QBs in the 2024 draft. TBH they probably should with their track record
Absolutely the right approach!Being completely serious … We can’t afford any QB on that list and none of them would even want to come here …

This is true.Being completely serious … We can’t afford any QB on that list and none of them would even want to come here …
The d lineman’s from AM would be a great pickup and the depth we need.
