From O&B News...says the Illini lead by a large margin. Iowa, Oregon, Alabama, Virginia and BC are also mentioned.

I don't know why some thought Weinke was the top priority at QB when Charest has been at the top for a while (Look no further than him being the first officially offered). He is a stud. I look for him to commit sooner than that......that's just me though.

Also, a 4* player on scout also.

And he "will move up considerably" in the next Rivals rankings. I was shocked he was a 2 star in the first place.

His offer list alone warrants a higher rankings from Rivals...

By Farrell...visiting Illinois this weekend and says he could commit.

He has committed to the Illini.

Jacob has thrown 16 touchdowns in his first 3 games this year.

I don't think there is another high school quarterback in the entire nation who has better stats first 3 weeks.
