Nice week/weekend for Illinois:

The big get was picking up former UCLA commit Earnest Thomas from Orchard Lake St. Mary's.

They also snagged Louisiana OL Alex Hill away from Duke last Thursday.

They also added New Jersey OL Danny Foose on Friday.

In addition, they added two players they offered just this weekend...one is Alabama fullback Jay Prosch, although he is supposed to hear from Auburn this week about an offer, which could change things. The other is in-state DE Austin Teitsma.

The scuttlebutt around Seastrunk is that a street agent was involved with his recruitment.

Very true. I've actually heard his family speak openly about some things that would make Barry Switzer blush.

If it tells you anything, LSU completely dropped him.

Good grief. What's it take to make Loose Morals move away from a recruit?

For those that follow Big 10 recruiting, this is big news:

Scout.com: Scout.com Road To Signing Day Blog

Scout.com is trying to confirm a report by Gentry Estes of the Mobile Press Register that says Penn State is now in the running for five-star North Carolina safety/wide receiver Keenan Allen. The U.S. Army All-American recently decommitted from Alabama and is now considering the Nittany Lions, Clemson and California. Wherever, Allen goes that school will likely take his half brother Zach Maynard who was the starting quarterback for Buffalo this season.

Rod D. from Columbus, Ohio, writes: Adam,Do you think the reason OSU has struggled with the in state recruits this year is due to the negative Big 10 perception finally taking its toll. Also do you think Tressel conservative game management is a turn off to potential recruits. I'll be honest when saying this but watching Oregon, Usc, heck even Texas, it just seems more exciting than watching OSU when the offense takes the field. I can understand why recruits are attracted to that style of play.

Adam Rittenberg: No, I agree with colleague Bill Kurelic that 2010 is more the exception than the rule with Ohio State and its local recruiting. Ohio State might not have the "cool" factor like Oregon or USC, but if players want to make it to the NFL, Columbus is a pretty good place to play college ball. I remember talking to several Ohio State players before the Rose Bowl about Oregon and all its Nike gear and uniform combos. They admitted to being drawn to Oregon, but ultimately they chose tradition and a program that would help them get to the next level. Bells and whistles and dynamic schemes play big roles in recruiting, but these guys ultimately want to get to the NFL, and Ohio State will always help them get there.

Scout.com: Signing Day 2010

Keenan Allen, Gabe King and Chris McCain are expected to sign their National Letters of Intent at 6 a.m. PT. Stay with Cal Sports Digest for complete coverage.

Allen and McCain have signed...King was not at the press conference because of a delayed flight.

Huge get for Cal...especially considering Allen was a one time Clemson lean and Alabama verbal and had offers from most of the south.

LSUFreek sums up how I feel today....

D lines win championships, and stopping the Bama run game in the near future was a concern for all of us Lizards.

Unsucessful recruiting

This may be off the beaten path a little but i was wondering has Ohio State ever recruited a 5 or 4 star recruit that did not pan out as good as they had hoped. I can't think of any one player off the top of my head. Maybe that never happened at Ohio State.
