“This is his best start,” recruiting analyst Tom Lemming said of Zook. “The Rose Bowl appearance gave them credibility in the eyes of the kids. Illinois recruiting is going fantastic. They’re starting to land the blue-chip athletes on a consistent basis. Their recruiting each year progresses, and the classes keep getting better.”
Zook’s latest blue chipper is Nathan Scheelhaase, a quarterback from Kansas City. He’s exactly the kind of run-pass threat who fits perfectly in the spread offense the Illini run, and he’s the latest sign that Zook is building a solid foundation to have a good team in Champaign for a long time.

Scary. Zook's already been doing a phenomenal recruiting job. And this is his best year yet? Look out, OSU, Penn State, Michigan and Wisconsin!

Mendenhall will be tough to replace, though.
