Earnest Thomas to Illinois

According to Scout. Of all places - Champaign is the flatest place on earth and in the middle of a corn field. Oh well.

That hurts. He could have had an impact on the defense.

James Manuel and the juco Thornton along with Watkins from last year's class should provide some help, but I think we could use 2 more. Rallis is serviceable i guess. I wonder if Stoudermire could have picked up the position.

Yeah, Champaign is pretty flat, but I've yet to hear a college recruit cite topography as a reason for going to a certain school.

You're right, I should have been more clear - windy, and boring.

 

[wait!what?]

nuts!

That ship is sinking FAST. They lose quite a bit of talent on offense as well. Zook's last stand.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that Kerry Lewis (redshirted this past year) is a SS too. Also, I think Brewster said on Sid & Dave a few weeks back that they would consider moving Rallis to OLB.

If Stoudermire were to switch to defense he is would be a CB and not a safety. Same for Marquise Hill from this class but they are going to give him a try at WR.
