For some of us that follow transfers declaring and others that follow it and worry about the ILLINI transfers each year and how it looks, look at the numbers so far this year.
There are most schools with 3-5 transfers from the same school, and several with as many as 6-such as Tennessee Tech (Phelprey is the coach). It may not be a good optical for the ILLINI, but I don't think it sheds a bad light if you will on our beloved team/staff. It's a numbers game with oversigns, transfers, etc....
The sign of the times are going this way and have been for some time. 690 as of today listed, I would hazard a guess and say that this number may triple next year with the new ruling going into effect.
