Not an insider. Evidently, Beason requested the change. I'm guessing it's permanent.

It’s interesting because he was called by some the best DB in camp before he was hurt. We need help in the WR room so hopefully he makes a big impact.
Edit: That comment was from 2019, not last year.

Looki g forward to watching the spring game. Uber thin at LB.
Jeresaty posted a picture of him next to Lowe with IW in the shotgun taking the snap. That’s the best I can do for you.
This makes me think Spoon’s having a great camp!
Coach B said that it just depends on success.
He said something along the lines of "if he has success there, he'll want to stay there; if not, he'll probably want to move back to DB."
Who did B refer to that transferred out that may come back? Stampley? Oladipo?

So, was there a scheduling change? BB thinks that UI is opening up with NW? I guess, UN and NU are pretty similar.

I caught that too. Did go back and replay it though.

It's a holdover from the old Big 8 days. Every school was "SchoolU" .. MU, KU, KSU, OU, OSU, NU etc

I don't know how you can watch these interviews and not be over-the-moon positive. The CP stuff is interesting as the only holdover. He seems pretty honest and almost like surprised at how much different the atmosphere is and the tightness and seriousness of the coaches. With so many experienced guys, this year has some unusually high potential compared to pretty much every other 1st season for a new HC at Illinois.
I appreciate the class Cory P. showed by not trashing the prior regime. But he said enough to conclude what we had suspected - that there was dysfunction within the previous coaching staffs under Lovie.
There had to be dysfunction when you hire your inexperienced son as LB coach.
Three of these guys were seniors last year, according to scholarship grid. So, this means they are back/ eligible due to extra year from covid? Scholarships don’t count against the limit? Cool of BB/whit to give schollies for these walk ons.

This was GREAT!
Super! Well done Bret and congrats to those young men.
Just as aside, I hope coach has lined up a good local doctor, nutritionist and physio for himself. He's clearly spending loads of time working to improve our players and our program. I'd hate to see it at the expense of his own health. We want him around for a looooong time.
