Adding players who already have experience bodes well for Brad Underwood and his coaching staff. The previous coaching regime at Illinois couldn’t figure out how to win with transfers, but Underwood continues to impress with who he can land and how we can win with transfer players.
It hasn’t been the easiest road to landing a transfer this offseason, though. Illinois has pursued a lot of different players who could have helped this team. But all of the players have decided to commitment elsewhere. Despite this dry spell for the Illini, there are a couple of big-time transfers still left on the board.
