They’ve had a couple transfers in, but have also lost a significant number of players since the 2018 season kicked off — Carmoni Green, Zeke Martin, Adam Solomon, Bennett Williams, Lou Dorsey, Reuben Unije, and Cam Thomas have all elected to transfer or otherwise leave the program. Wouldn’t be shocked if there weren’t a handful more who will exit.
For the first time we are seeing “Lovie guys” also departing the program, not just holdovers from the previous regime. This robs the program of the competitive depth necessary to compete in the B1G. From the NU perspective, depth is even more important in that we always face Illinois at the end of the season.
Until proven otherwise, there’s no reason to think Illinois won’t continue to suck.
