By EdgyTim...Josh visited Illinois this weekend. He is officially visiting OSU on 12/8 but that could change. His top 6 in no particuloar order is Ohio State, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin and Arizona State.

Josh is interested in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Missouri, Ohio State, and Wisconsin, but does not claim a favorite or a top 5.

Josh says that tOSU and Illinois have a slight to solid lead over Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa. He plans on deciding after his season. He wants to do track and field (shot put) in college as well, and Illinois has said no problem, whereas tOSU has said ok, but expressed reservations about it taking up too much time.

Sounds to me like Wilson, Hughes, and Brent (maybe Benn) are waiting to see if Illinois makes any real improvement before they decide anything. Seems like they want to go there but if they throw up a 2-10 season they are going elsewhere. Here is rooting for the 2-10 season....

Ron Zook is a good recruiter, but has yet to prove his coaching abilities...

Plus, we shouldn't have to root for that. With our lack of depth at DT, all we should have to do is keep the heat on and get him over for some games and an official. Also, if Josh goes to the game in Champaign, he'll see a blow-out. That should be about all we need to do, regardless of Illinois' record...

If we don't end up with Barksdale, landing Brent would make it a lot better.

IMO Brent is the #1 DT on our board.

Brent is really warming on OSU too. Like you said union...we need to make him feel at home on his official.

While working his team, Zook also had time to meet with the state's top three prep seniors. Chicago Hubbard running back Robert Hughes, Chicago Simeon defensive end Martez Wilson and Bloomington Central Catholic defensive end Josh Brent made unofficial recruiting visits Saturday.

I think Zooky is a decent coach. And a fine recruiter.
But, given a choice of schollie between the Buckeyes and Illinois,
it's no contest! :tongue2:

Listen to union!

Taos, I agree, why would a big-time recruit choose Illinois over tOSU?

 

[LordJeffBuck]

Taos, I agree, why would a big-time recruit choose Illionois over tOSU?

Because Brent is from "Illionois"....

Taos, I agree, why would a big-time recruit choose Illionois over tOSU?

I don't know, ask Isiah Williams.

Despite what they are saying in any reports you kinda get the feeling that the Illini are very heavily involved in the recruitments of Brent, Hughes, and Wilson.
