Jon Joseph Moderator No. 12 Share Posted February 22 Dee-Fence! It's Josh Neel, so corrections have to be made. Wisconsin's Luke Fickell did not sign up for a long extension.' As is typical for all head coaches at Wisconsin, Fickell was extended for one season. UCLA's Carlos Schweisenger, a former walk-on has left the Bruins building and is projected to go in the 3rd round of the 2025 NFL draft. The Illinois D should be in the top 5 and not ranked 11th. 18 of the 22 starters in 2024 return for Illinois in 2025. In the bowl game vs. South Carolina, with all hands on deck for both teams, Illinois shut down a prolific Gamecocks offense. Michigan No. 8? Yes, the Wolverines lose a lot of D talent to the NFL but Michigan has a Blue Chip roster, and as shown in the bowl game vs. Bama, there are many talented players ready to step up in 2025. No. 6 Minnesota lost its quality DC to Miami. Will his replacement keep the Gophers D playing at a high level? OBD no. 3 and Penn State No. 4? I hope so but the Oregon D was missing in action vs. Penn State and Ohio State in the last two games of 2024-25 and the Nits stepped up with NIL money to keep draft-eligible D players in Happy Valley. Indiana, 2nd? Come On Man. The Hoosiers again play against thin-air OOC but play Oregon, Iowa, and Penn State on the road, and a ranked Illinois team in Bloomington. Ohio State No. 1? Perhaps, but many of the guys who played D for the champion Buckeyes are headed to the League and DC Jim Knowles is 'going home' to Penn State. So, for what it's worth?
