I’m not buying the “McCollum leaving is fine” narrative, and quite honestly, I feel insulted that we have some people here trying to gaslight us into believing it is.

I know multiple people have been asking about Elzy …
He’s visiting LSU … Don’t be surprised if that’s his landing spot …

Unless you have the talent, size, speed and athleticism to play at this level, scheme is moot.

Just think about this as getting an Oklahoma State transfer a year early...
Maybe but that was a shootout at halftime like the USC game. Offense turned it over and only scored 8 points in the second half. Some stops on defense would have helped but offense had a poor second half. It would be great to have a defense that can win some games against good teams but that was not the case with either of the Orange and Blue in the state of Illinois this season.
Good for him. Hopefully he gets a bag and can turnaround his career.
What am I missing here, Indy? The state/school known for producing the best top end WR talent is going after a guy who couldn't get snaps at Illinois?
Stepp has elevated our WR room...
Coach B seems to be playing hard ball with current players. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. He seems pretty excited based on some interviews. I got faith in him. Just take a few deep breaths and enjoy the ride !

3-4000 portal players! We will re-load. Quit trippin loyalty. Not seeing any MAJOR pieces leaving. Anyone that seems to have guaranteed PT is staying put. That means coach B told these boys we are bringing in talent and you will have to EARN that spot! Some of these guys just want the starting spot handed to them because they "put in the time". Let's go check the portal. Its not like our guys leaving are at the top of the portal list.
Hood and Jojo good players, especially if they are 2's in depth chart. I think we are changing our scheme. Goodness I hope so! Playing prevent with opponents in the Redzone, is freaking high school crap.

Color me extremely surprised if Elzy ends up playing for Kiffin.
This is a meaningless phrase.
6-6 fine? 7-5 fine? Another 9 win season fine?

AKA, I knew I'd get sued and lose my money
like costanza going back to the office the Monday after he quit
Without seeing the contract, I'd just warn that most of these contracts' "punitive" language is not enforceable.
I suspect some of the Illini "portalers" will return to the Illini ranks.
I second this but will add Juice to this list. I sense he is going to look even better if we can muster a pass rush.

The threat of legal action and having the hassle of defending yourself is often quiet a deterrent.
Once it becomes settled law that will go down. I haven't seen someone make a compelling legal argument that the punitive damages will stand. Not sure if the house settlement changes that.
The school they're going to is paying them big $ and it's highly likely they would help support in the event of a suit.
