•Even if Taylor does sign, the Illini might look to add a third quarterback in this class. Three-star Brock Purdy of Gilbert, Ariz., received an offer from Illinois on Jan. 23 — four days after Lovie Smith hired offensive coordinator Rod Smith, who had been at Arizona. Purdy took an official visit to Alabama last weekend and told the Des Moines Register on Sunday he might visit Illinois this week. He also is considering Iowa State and Central Florida, he told the Register.
