That looks like a good get for ISU. Lets hope it helps make them competitive, just so long as we beat them 2 times a year...

Noticed in the article that it says Mr. Jackson is a great recruiter - that bodes well for ISU.

Interesting stuff from a message board on Big Blue...

The guys still known to be on the list are West Virginia's John Beilein, Southern Illinois' Chris Lowery, Butler's Todd Lickliter, George Washington's Karl Hobbs, and Air Force's Jeff Bzdelik.

Beilein and Lowery still seem to be the ones receiving the heaviest consideration among those names? with Licklighter moving up as of late. The question about Beilein is clearly his recruiting. He will be asked to explain his strategy for how he plans to recruit the state and specifically the city. Lowery will be questioned on his offense.

So Illinois State is hiring one of the fired Tommy Amaker staff?

And bringing his players with him.....I'm really scared.

I know you were kidding, but no matter how much they like a coach, I highly doubt they'd leave Michigan to go to Illinois State.

That said, I hope this guy can make an impact in Illinois for the Class of '08. Daniyal Robinson was doing some nice things so I hope this Jackson character can pick up where he left off and go even further.
