Newton isn’t considered a QB.
[
There’s still the fundamental recourse in any sport from grade school to pros —- skip practice and you ride the bench. Of course the NIL $ is gone, but the message gets through pretty clearly. IMO this guy should be blacklisted for defaulting on his deal and degrading the team’s limited practice time in pursuit of personal gain. He can’t be trusted by any university now.
Participate or hit the portal, but don’t do anything to impair the team’s performance. Until the moment you’re gone, you give it your all every day. Character matters.

Would love to see these 2 on field in double TE, 2 WR set. Boyd, Taylor, Petty, Clayton in pocket slinging it down field. Hey I'm old. I can dream.
Joel Goodson
- how was I to know, she was with the Russians too?
Yes he is
247 says he's visiting June 13th
people do have to realize that with this type of a high profile recruit, and not being in state, and the brand being Illinois after-all...there's always a 30-40% chance of another school swaying him away.

He is for now, will he end up there? Probably not.
But, I’m not sure our starter next year is on that list unless Petty takes a massive step this year. We may be in the portal for our starter

There are teams that use two TE's at the same time even in spread looks. Good coaches get your best players on the field and adapt their schemes.
4 Star QBs from Texas? Visiting Illinois??? Can't remember the last time.
They’d both be considered TEs and they’d both a hybrid role of the more modern TE I’d assume. The game is all about mismatches!
nico iamaleava available, lol. Holds out for NIL, gets cut. I call that FAFO!
That's a cycle I hope is broken....what's the point of qbs committing if they are never given consideration to start because the program is forever looking for something better in the portal
Good for Tennessee. Gotta put your foot down at some point.
Now we just gotta hope he doesn't end up at tO$U.

The problem, though, is there are no repercussions for players who do this under the current system. He will find a new school and they will pay him … this year. At least in the pros, if you decide to breach your contract and sit, you don’t get paid until you come back or the team trades you getting value in return.
I think it definitely affects their development, even if there's no official punishment. He could easily become the next DJ at FSU, a player who looked better earlier in their career and just never panned out after 3 different schools.
Arch Manning is the only top QB to not transfer and I think he'll have the best career out of them all, not even including making the NFL.
