2009 is going to top any class Ron Zook has recruited, at Florida or at Illinois....it's going to be something crazy. Some really good (Some special) instate talent combined with some out of state monsters (Melvin Fellows, etc.)....

Hopefully Mr. J Stokes too

Just wanted to add that i agree with ThaKid that his has the possibility of being the best class in Illinois history.

Drummond and Moffett are at the top of my list defensively.

I wouldn't say the SAME, but for a lot of players, yes. It has the makings of a very fierce rivalry. I can't WAIT until the game in Champaign this year.

the 2009 recruiting season will be a lot of fun. Some people will be angry on both sides before it's over with.
