    Altmyer "could" pull a Devito and find somewhere that can protect him better to show how good he could be in a clean pocket. He was the most sacked QB in the B10 this year.

      That would just be sour grapes. He's an upperclassman with minimal future prospects - it's pretty much a single year's earning potential on the table here. While many of us see Champaign as a great spot for him, implying that he'd be actually crazy to take ANY deal over ours is.. rude? I dunno, it certainly lacks imagination.

    • @LockedOnIllini
      @LockedOnIllini 7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Maybe I misunderstand. I said I think he can make more elsewhere but if Illinois can get to 80-90% of the best offer the best opportunity would be in Champaign. In a system he’s familiar with and performed for 2 full years now. Just my personal opinion if he left he could be risking some pro potential.

    Whoa now just slow down. Arkansas isnt exactly elite and Illinois hit shots they havent been hitting up to this point. Also a major factor no one is talking about. Is the fact that Antigua is on illinois bench. A former calipari assistant. Illinois knew before hand everything arkansas would try. They had the advantage and won a game they were supposed to win. Good win and impressive play non the less because even though they knew what arkansas was gonna do. You can mess that up turn it over not rebound. And Illinois did. Plus Underwood is a coach that prepares his teams better than cal does. Cal dont know how to teach guarding the screen. And probably never will at this point!
