That's why I didn't mention Miller. I mentioned the other three because a) they have talent and potential and b) have eligibility. Vontae Davis has the tools to be a high-round pick and he could very well leave for the draft. That's why I put "if." One thing working against Davis is his build, which might be too rigid to be a fluid cornerback in the NFL. @headballcoach,

Despite the presence of quarterback Juice Williams and wide receiver Arrelious Benn on offense, and NFL prospect cornerback Vontae Davis on defense, the Illini haven’t been able to sustain any success this season." Brit Miller has a been a huge bright spot. He has exceeded everyone's expectations this season. Also, Vontae has 1 pick, which is low, and he is GONE next year. I can't see any scenario in which he returns. “But that’s a far cry from Pasadena.
