Expectations can be daunting, even a bit nerve-racking for a long-struggling program like Illinois. But the #Illini aren't shunning or running from expectations or growing national buzz about them. "We asked for it." My column from Las Vegas ⤵️ 247sports.com/college/illino…

Xavier Scott is one of the top defensive backs in the Big Ten. His path to being an #illini representative at B1G Media Days? Well, that's where things get interesting. "I know what I want to do and once I put my mind to it, I'm going for it." 247sports.com/college/illino…

QB Luke Altmyer passed on a short-term payday offer to go back to the SEC because he sees a longer-term payoff with the #illini, where he has trust and confidence in his supporting cast. "I wake up reassured every day I made the right decision," he said. 247sports.com/college/illino…
