I have been critical of Lovie... but I think it will be hard to determine anything regarding his coaching ability until year 3 or maybe even 4. The 2016 class looks like it will yield very few contributors. Essentially we can thank the Beckman-Cubit-Simon scandal for giving us this post-sanctions feel to our program...
Ahmari Hayes - JUCO, likely back-up CB
Andrew Trainer - Too early to tell, shift to OL?
Ayo Shogbonyo - Late reach by Cubit, unlikely to contribute
Brandon Jones - Huge reach by previous staff, started at DE, moved to TE, and now RB/FB/Hback type?
C Abercrombie - Late reach by Cubit staff - could be a depth at LB, special teams
Darta Lee - In Champaign jail still
Dele Harding - Contributer/Starter at LB
D Thieman - Potential at WR, coming off bad injury
D Kramer - Late addition, seems poised to outperform ranking
Eddy Fish - Transferred to BC
Eli Peters - Transferred after early enrolling
Ev Jones - Too early to tell, but likely depth, special teams
Griffin Palmer - likely TE contriuter
H Clayton - depth piece
Jake Cerny - Too early to tell at OL
Jake Hansen - In the thick of things at LB
James McCourt - K/P who can't beat out walkons
Kenyon Jackson - Solid DT
Kurt Gavin - Too early to tell at OL
Mcgriff - transfer
Green - promising start at S, might break his neck if he keeps tackling the way he does
Nation - transfer
Oliver - promising start on DL
Holcombe - jail
