Thad Matta springs to mind. . . . . . OK, so maybe the parallel is not quite apt... but there are definitely selling points present, and the Zooker is smart enough to make ample use of them. |

Yeah, I know... the problem with that argument is that the Illini's greatness was too far back for today's prospects to really relate. I only know the bare minimum of Illinois' history (not much beyond Red Grange, Dick Butkus, and the rivalry with OSU), but I do respect their history--as well as the talent to be found in the Chicago area (not to mention other areas in the midwest). If the Zooker can tap the talent pool (and maybe hire outstanding assistants to run the team for him
), Illinois could start to make a lot of noise in coming years. ...All he has to do is work some verbal magic with some impressionable youngsters... |

I know there is quite a list, Tomsik comes to mind. I think we even had a Heisman campain for an Il. guy whose career ended in a medical. Last edited by stowfan; 08-07-2006 at 02:35 PM. |

Judging from his time at FLorida, Zook is a great recruiter, but not a very good coach. He had all the talent in the world in Gainesville but could not seem to get it together on the field.

Thanks for the pics.
Whats your view on Brent? Do you think he is leaning either way? |
