He must have been buried in that depth chart, no way anyone transfers to Illinois

Even if he balls out, not much room in the NFL for guys with his skill set. I’m pleasantly surprised a guy like Jamal Carter will make the broncos team again in his 2nd season (pleasant surprise ofc)

Chooses to transfer to a bottom tier P5 program with a lame duck coach? Dude is a child.

Pretty sure South Carolina offered. I think his uncle played CB there. I’m surprised he didn’t end up there.
Also he balled out in camp and wanted to play. He shouldn’t have been playing striker last season and **** you ***gots ripping on this kid.

You might be right idk, but you clearly didn’t read my other posts. I was making a point that nobody else on his left offered him either so him going to a team that didn’t offer out of high school wasn’t weird.
Also Ive states multiple times I was excited to see him this year. I never ripped the kid. Move along

Jeff Thomas would have if it wasn’t for our coaches putting in a lot of work to get him back.

Can't rush greatness? That's the attitude he better have playing there, because it will be a looooong time before they are great.

Greatness? The third best team on the state after Northwestern and NIU. Heck, they are lucky UChicago left the BIG and disbanded its football team in 1939...A reincarnated Amos Alonzo Stagg-coached team would be kicking their *** today.

Agree he wanted to play but to think he could just walk into South Carolina and start you must be crazy... Why even take hat Chance and wind up just like he did in Miami? Be honest with yourself he wasn’t take for many P5 schools and a poster stated he was going to Illinois before he even entered the portal .. there was no other option

He’d play at South Carolina.
Our safeties are much better than theirs.
He’d Star there imho

It wasn’t directed at you.
He’s a good safety from SFL. The type of kid who plays at teams like USCe and Kentucky. Actually I’m a little surprised Kentucky wasn’t on his list.
There’s no reason to crap on a kid who tried hard here and wants to play though. He was never a diva or play games or anything. Just worked hard and wasn’t quite good enough here.
I hope he does well knocking helmets off in the big ten

You dont know that, both of our safeties that beat him out this year barely played last year.... They moved him to striker because they didnt like the way he moved last year...same reason they moved Romeo Finley
My man said he's from south florida. Lol
