Brent tells NYT Illini, Zook recruiting is clean


"A lot of people think just because they're getting big-name recruits in that there's got to be something dirty going on," Brent was quoted as saying in the Times. "Me, speaking personally from going through the recruiting process at Illinois, I have never been offered anything. I have never seen anything of that sort."

Zook is doing all he can to get his foot in the door in Ohio.

We hand out more mail from Illinois to our players than almost any other school. Its almost comical seeing those orange envelopes everywhere!

We have a good program here but I can only imagine how bad it is at other bigger schools.

But one thing Zook always has been is a master recruiter - either as an assistant or the boss - and he's proving it again these days at the University of Illinois, which, apparently, is the problem.
It's one thing to bring in high-profile players at Florida, goes the logic, but evidently quite another to do it at Illinois.
Umm, has anybody been tracking Greg Schiano's work at Rutgers?
Anyway, according to so-called experts in a field where expertise can't possibly exist, Zook has heaped a load of terrific recruits on top of a load of very good ones in two years on the job at Illinois.



"How many cheap shots do I have to take?" Zook has said in his own defense. "When we bust our tails to sign a good recruiting class, why does it have to be because we're cheating?
