He has two older brothers who were accomplished, big-time passers and he's been training for this since he was 5 years old. He's a precision passer and he's miles ahead of everyone else I've seen this year. |
He is succeeding through enthusiasm and aggressiveness in recruiting. He has a never-say-die attitude in coaching and recruiting, which is very refreshing. He has personality and flair. In the past, Illinois gambled a lot on juniors who didn't pan out. Zook will wait for great players to develop, then offer them. He will go after great players in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina and New Jersey. And he will hit the Midwest much harder, especially Ohio and Michigan. |
He was the top cover corner coming out of high school. He was a certain first-round draft choice as a corner. He probably still will be in a couple of years if he stays at receiver. |
He will be an instant impact back as a freshman. |
He's a great athlete. He's the kind of guy that Iowa, who has a great coaching staff, can really get and turn around and make into a fantastic player. |
He's getting such great talent, people will be mad next year if they don't win big, if they're not in the BCS, if they are not title contenders with all the talent they are getting. People don't like sitting around and waiting. They are going to be on his butt if he loses three games next year. |
He's miles ahead of everyone else I've seen. |
He's not a polished product at quarterback, but with his arm he can make plays even if he's making mistakes. I think he has the strongest arm of any high school quarterback in the country. |
I absolutely applaud South Florida. Of course, only the superpowers can really do that and not get hurt. |
I saw him a couple of times last year and this year, |
I think it makes them one of the big forces in recruiting along with Florida, Texas and USC. It bodes well for the future. |
I think it sends a message that Notre Dame is back in business. It gives them a little oomph going into next year. |
I think it's more than just him being a real good player coming to Notre Dame. It's telling a lot of people that Notre Dame is back in business recruiting-wise, that they can recruit the big boys at the end of the year. |
I think the Irish coaches' preparation and work ethic toward recruiting before the two wins is 95 percent of the momentum they have. I think the two wins are 5 percent of it. It's almost as if the recruits, because of the confidence Charlie Weis exudes, kind of expected this to happen, expected early success. |
I think Urban Meyer has a future Heisman Trophy candidate, a guy who's going to lead them to a national championship. |
