'07 IL RB Robert Hughes (Notre Dame signee)

[illinoisbuckeye]

I really think Hughes, Wilson, Brent and most of the big guys in Illinois stay in state this year at Illinois. Unfortunate for us, but Zook and his recruiting tactics at Illinois hurts ND and Scum way worse than it hurts us, since we don't count on Illinois year in and year out like they do.

I honestly do not see Hughes or Wilson staying instate this year. Don't know much about Brent, but I think Hughes and Wilson both end up at Notre Dame.

By BK...Hughes has set up a 12/1 official visit to OSU. He also plans to visit Michigan, Illinois and ND officially.

Too bad he is waiting that long. I always like it when a recruit makes it in for a game day experience.

Update by Bill Kurelic. Robert wants to change his visit to Columbus from 12/8 to 12/1 so he can go with Martez Wilson. He says both Ohio State and Notre Dame are two of his favorites. He's also considering Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Penn State, and Tennessee amongst others.

Sounds like Hughes is really high on OSU right now, hopefully he can spread some of that feeling to Wilson on their visit.

Hughes or Clay coupled with Boom would be a very nice RB tandem (class)...triply sweet if we somehow could pull off Hughes/Martin/Tez over ND...
