Seems like Illinois is looking good with a number of top recruits around the Chicago area--is this due to having a better recruiter in Ron Zook?

I would say yes...Zook was a good recruiter at UF. Many of the coaches trying to resurrect traditional programs this year (Zook, Weis, Callahan, Shula) are offering massive numbers...in part because the kids are solid prospects, but also just to re-establish/build relationships with various areas and coaches.
But anyway...back to Dustin.

You know, Kevin, that's a really good point. When Zook was at the University of Florida, he was known for being being a very fine recruiter within the state of Florida. And now, at the University of Illinois, which is just two hours south of Chicago, he is beginning to make inroads into that city of approximately 8 million people, which, by the way, is the largest city in the state of Illinois. I think that I'm beginning to see a pattern here... Maybe, if he were at the Ohio State University, he'd also be able to recruit the state of Ohio... In sum, I bet that you will see many kids from Chicagoland end up as members of the Fighting Illini under Ron Zook's watch. |
