The DL and OL hires to me have potential to be absolute homeruns. Usually you think of the line coach as the older/experienced guys. We got 2 young guys who have a very good amount of experience and also may be our top recruiters. That's a killer combo for those positions.

Like Lovie's staff, when he hired young guys to try to boost recruiting, they all seemed to be very light in experience. These guys are more experienced than some of the older guys on the previous staff.

I was for BB from the start (you can check 🙂) because of his experience as a Power 5 coach. He knows what he’s doing. White/Mackovic were the last successful HC here and had that experience (although Mackovic was not a great recruiter). Zook came the closest recently but was just a horrible in game coach. Wonder what he would have done with the transfer portal. In the end we have a lot to be optimistic about. This is the best hire we’ve made since the Eighties Belong(ed) to the Illini!

This is a solid staff, we don't have the superstar recruiter yet, hopefully it's coming or someone we can get excited about for the recruiting angle.

This dude has plenty of coaching experience. Plus plenty of coordinating experience. I'm good with it.....still want a star recruiter.
