USC is looking stong but the SEC took most of the best players nationwide

Sidenote: Alabama will do as well as Ohio State

I know Texas is pretty much cleaning up as far as clamping down on a bunch of the best recruits here in the Lone Star State. Sure that makes SBR_John happy, but it does very little for my contentment

I can't believe that Illinois has that strong of a recruiting class again this year. They interviewed Ron Zook on ESPN news, and he was defending the allegations that the the NY Post printed today.

[Willie Bee]

Ah, the New York Post, such a bastion for journalistic excellence

Not only do you have to question the article Willie, you also have to question the person who wrote it. The one thing in that article everyone failed to talk about here is the fact that those were John L Smith's comments given to this writer. If you really sit down and think about this one, he got fired after Ron Zook's IL. team beat Michigan St. Naturally you can see there might be some bitterness in regards to his comments.

Pete Carroll runs a great program...

Yeah, especially when you can have your former Heisman Trophy winner call up the big recruit you're after, well, maybe not call him but at least talk to him over a speaker phone, well, maybe not a speaker phone, come to think of it, McKnight never spoke to Reggie Bush at all, especially once he was reminded such a conversation would be a recruiting violation
