John L. Smith calls out Zook

Nice work by the NY Times getting some people on the record about the Illinois recruiting impropriety rumors (thus confirming what the Chicago Tribune got ripped for reporting here a few weeks ago):

Sour grapes, perhaps?

Zook is a horrible game coach, but he is a stellar recruiter.

 

I love when a guy is called a great recruiter but not an adept game coach.

Like most bullshit artists, when it's time to actually DO something, they fail.

 

John Blake was a great recruiter.

 

Calling me or Zook a bullshit artist?

Yeah, I spew some BS.

Zook obviously stocked Urban's cupboard in Gainesville, as one saw last month.

 

When Michigan State played Illinois this past season, I bet the combined IQ of the head coaches was something like.... 68.

 

In the words of Ted "Theodore" Logan, it's 69, dude.

 

The movie Johnny Be Good should be required to be on HBO on Signing Day. Illinois is nothing but a modern day Big Tex, right, John L?

What's Neale Stoner up to these days?

 

And Meyer's first two recruiting classes will prove to yield just as many good players.

 

Damn, Columbo, recruiting IS doing something.

You don't win without the players.

 

Shottie...you know that, I know that, most of us know that... some of us will never get that,,,
