I wasn’t in or out when we hired Lovie. It obviously didn’t work out as well as hoped but this is a tough sell. I would like to give Lovie credit for working the transfer portal. I hope the new coach works it too.
I think the 4 team college football playoff has really made recruiting top notch high school prospects tough on schools like Michigan and Penn St and some of the other blue bloods not named Ohio State, Alabama and Clemson. Throw in a few others contending for the fourth spot and they suck up the bulk of the talent with grey shirts, red shirts and out right lies. Illinois was working the disenchanted to our advantage. I hope we keep it up.
