He was also a big Tennessee target before they hunted Altmyer and Veer and Shoot QB which could make an Auburn target and maybe a Gamecocks if they lose Sellers.

Bielema better get this QB situation right. Indiana has gotten it right with two different quarterbacks the last two years. You can't miss on a QB this year, period.
That kid is the complete opposite of TSD …
I don’t want that kid anywhere near this program …
I’m hoping the way to read this is that there will be changes to RB room but not a complete overhaul. That group is not elite.
Cig to NY Giants?

no idea if this is true, but there seems to be smoke:

Take a lot of those plays, change the uniforms to orange with Luke at QB and they wouldn't look out of place at all.

It's early in the transfer portal season, but (a) there's a greater amount of good QBs already announced in the portal than I expected, and (b) I have high expectations for Illinois to land someone highly regarded based on the increased supply and discussion about greater $$ infused into the program than before.
I wouldn't classify the Harvard QB as checking that last box.

Understandable, but on the flip side... this staff did great getting both DeVito and Luke. I wouldn't call either of those guys highly regarded either at the time either.
No reason not to trust the staffs eval on QBs right now.

I think the hope is that as we work our way up the food chain, we don't have to take on as much risk with the players we obtain. Luke's first year was our only down year in the last 4, all the talk of increased NIL and 8+ wins 3 of the last 4 seasons should hopefully translate to a top-tier QB to come in and keep the progress pointed up.

Dont see Jaden as an option..... Biggs are Big time programs, huge jump.....
IU already turning from the cinderalla upstart into another villain that will just buy championships
It’s not always about highly regarded, but more about best fit for the program.

The trust is extremely high! If Illinois gets the Harvard QB, there could be a signal there that the staff viewed the cost/benefit was too good to ignore, this allowed them to add a few other dynamic pieces later in the portal, believe he has a much higher ceiling than public opinion, or they see promise with another QB already on the roster and want a real competition, etc. There are lots of seasons for their choices. My opinion is also worthless in the decision making process, hence the discussion board. But that's the fun of sharing the opinion. Of course I trust the staff, but that doesn't mean I (a) like the Harvard QB or (b) think he's better than, say, Josh Hoover or DJ Lagway or other names in the portal. We can still question, judge, etc.
Possibly one of the worst decisions by a player in the transfer era. Worked out extremely well for Luke and us.
