Landingham To Transfer; Hill Could Miss Bowl Game

Bret Bielema announced over the weekend the intentions of Freshman RB Quincy Landingham to transfer from the program. Originally a commitment to Michigan State, Landingham switched his commitment to the Badgers when the Spartans' coaching situation was in limbo. He arrived on campus as an early enrollment, and was able to get a head start on both his athletic and academic careers. Quincy was eventually moved to RB, and given the depth at the position, he now feels it is in his best interest to move on.

Early rumors are making it sound like North Carolina or Arizona could be destinations. Whatever the case, I wish that he weren't leaving, but I wish him the best wherever he goes.

Unfortunately, on another down-beat note, Hill might not be ready to go for the bowl game. The bright side of this is that Smith will again be eligible to travel with the team, and Freshman Zach Brown finished the season on a very strong note.

At this point, it's likely much more critical to have Beckum back healthy.
