illinois has some good players. they're ranked 30 on scout but they'll go up if appleton finally gives a solid commitment. they have their bookend defensive ends in tank carradine and craig drummond........bad dudes. they have some more interior line help with lendell buckner. at the skill positions, they have terry hawthorne(wr, probably), bud golden(rb), and nathan scheelhaase(qb), most notably. although i think steve hull out of cincy could be a sleeper. on the offensive front, they've secured commitments from, again, notably: andrew carter and leon hill, but i'm crossing my fingers for marcus hall. not too shabby.
