Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they can give Yant a scholarship this year with him being a walk-on

I'm pretty sure you can give a scholarship to someone at any point for the next semester as long as you have room in your 85.

I too don’t foresee Johnson finishing up his career here. Not as a running back at least.

IIRC

Walk-ons earning scholarships in their first two years at the school must "fit" in the 25 new signers that are  allowed per year.  After two years they can get a 'ship at any time.

There are some technicalities to try to prevent people from circumventing the scholarship limits.  And I'm not 100% sure how they all work.

 

But as far as I know the only real restriction is they can't get a scholarship right off the bat if they were "recruited" in high school.  How they go about enforcing that is beyond me.  But basically you can't recruit a kid and tell him "we can't promise you a scholarship right now but as soon as you get to campus you'll be on scholarship."  So anyone who is "recruited" as a walk-on has to wait some amount of time before they can be put on scholarship.  But I'm pretty sure it's only a semester - maybe a year at the most.  But Yant was already here last year so he'd definitely be eligible now.

 

That being said, I really doubt Yant will be on that list this year.  Unless he's seeing the field quite a bit, i.e., more that just a couple carries here and there.

At the end of the day he has 5 rushing attempts in 2 years. I'm not sure he's better than Scott, Morrison, or Ervin...even Yant is gonna see some carries. He has never been healthy even in HS. I see him moving to a smaller D1 school closer to home. I hope he proves me wrong. 

He didn't prove me wrong...

Some new CB names popping up in the portal. Seems like a position where they want to add another body 

[BIG ERN]

They lost some to the portal due to the coaching change but wild that Illinois has added 9 players already from the portal.

For me, RB is the biggest question mark on the team right now, considering the injury history of pretty much our whole squad. Decent number of guys with potential, but potential don't mean squat if they can't stay healthy. Guess the coaches aren't real comfortable with the current situation there, at least from a depth perspective.

 

Also, I wouldn't mind swiping a potential star RB from TCU, after they got Aaron Green from us...

Was a walk-on kicker

Which is worse, sharing a tweet that has a kid's phone number on a message board or putting your phone number in your public tweet?

Putting your phone number in the tweet. He’ll regret that one.
