Ron Zook recruited some outstanding talent there, he just couldn't coach 'em up!! But yeah Illinois is a sleeping giant, they have Chicago like Louisiana has New Orleans.

I'm not sure Illinois is a sleeping giant in football, but is there any reason they shouldn't be a perennial top 25 school with an occasional great year. Not saying National Championships, but being in the discussion for the playoff once in a great while would be nice.

Have to explain in any way other than location and the fact they are not located right outside of/in their states major city.

Zook put a lot of NFL talent on his rosters, but couldn't keep them on the team and his in game management was mystifying. I think it was 2009 (might be off a year) where we went 3-9 with 9 future NFL players starting on defense in a weak B1G?
