He's going to look around. He's not a lock by any means.

I think he will end up at Illinois though.

I'm much more confident with Drummond, and the ESL boys though.

Oh I know he's not a lock.....but he will wind up at Illinois. I would bet that.

45th ranked player IN THE NATION.

2009 is going to be a bust-out year for Zook recruiting-wise.

According to their coach they haven't committed. That article was false.

Offensive linemen

Marcus Hall, a 6-5, 290-pounder from Cleveland, plays at Glenville Academic, the same school that produced Ted Ginn Jr. and Troy Smith. And yes, Ohio State has offered. Meanwhile, massive Leon Hill (6-6, 341 pounds) from Chicago Leo already has told coach Ron Zook that he intends to play at Illinois.

Leon is really getting a lot of press early as a 2009 all-american.

He may end up with 5 stars here soon.
