Split this off from the Thomas thread...
The Weis regime has been noted for using negative tactics on more than one occasion. I personally don't think of Coach Zook as a shady recruiter...I just think he outworks a lot of the competition and he has a couple of great selling points to his advantage...playing time (because most of the roster he inherited sucked) and location (heart of the Midwest, not too far from a major metropolitan city in Chicago).

We'll see how good he is as a coach.
I'm always against the knee jerk reaction type who annoint him a bad coach after 3 years at florida. He might not be urban meyer, but sometimes the players just never pan out the way you think, and the assistant coaches don't coordinate offenses and defenses the way you want.
Zook will no doubt keep the illini better than they were the past 5 years...

Funny that the recruits say otherwise.

Donovan Warren said the same thing about UM's recruiting approach, which many UM fans use as evidence of their high-brow recruiting. Do you apply Warren's recruitment to all UM recruiting? Or do you glance at other examples (like the Pocic quote), and realize that UM does use negative recruiting tactics?

To emphasize your point... Meyer won with the Zooker's players. Yes (any Gator fans reading this), Tress won with Cooper's in '02... but Tress also made it back with his own players, even if they didn't get the job done ('06) can't say for sure, but I must say I do like OSU's chances of getting back to the biggie again before Tress calls it a day.
