And Should We Fret?
An old football adage states, the further you line up away from the ball, the easier it is to come in and have an impact as a freshman. Wide receivers can learn a few plays and let their natural ability take over (Ricky Smalling), and safeties, although under immense pressure to protect against the big play, can let the play unfold in front of them (Bennett Williams). So what can we tell by yesterdays transfer departures by Henry McGrew, Frank Sumpter, and Harvey Clayton? The Beckman/Cubit exodus is going to continue, and, it’s really not that big a deal.
Well, that is really not a big deal to the Fighting Illini football future that we’re all hoping and praying for.
