I would also guess that Tony B ends up with the offensive line

220 pound tight end?

I'd imagine he's going to put on 10-20 pounds this summer. Still, shows a willingness as a blocker who isn't afraid to mix it up and get physical. That bodes well.

The receiving upside is the most exciting part IMO. This add makes the TE room as versatile as it's probably been, and we're all anxious to see how the Feagin move shakes out. I like the add a lot.

It is really tough for UI to land top 10 instate prospects. Our bread and butter are the guys in the 11-30 range. If we get our share there and land a few from St Louis/IN/OH and a few Newtons and Witherspoons from FL and TX we will a consistent bowl team

This years top 10 are all national recruits. The Illinois class of 27 in really deep. Trae Taylor and Austin Coles are 2 kids that transfered out.

It doesn't really alter your point, but Wisecarver had more offers than that per 247:

gary?
People on here constantly say he can’t recruit. Also do you really think he can’t coach? If that’s the case then you don’t know ball

no, i don't really know ball, but i know enough that o-line play has been a glaring weakness under miller. it was supposed to be a strength last year and luke was running for his life all year.
