Last season, I would have entered the summer months with the quarterback grade of about D+. Illinois had true freshmen on the roster who were supposed to lead this team. When the coaching staff added AJ Bush to the mix, that D+ grade improved to a C-. The grade would eventually evolve into a C by seasons end. Where will the grade be this season, though?
Summer Grade: C
I am giving the Illinois quarterback situation a C right now. I like what we have on the roster but there are still some serious experience issues with this grouping.
