Monday: Recruiting blog

By Jeremy Werner
Monday, August 25, 2008 12:00 PM CDT

Each weekday, Jeremy Werner writes a recruiting blog for HQ. For all of Monday's, click here. A sample:

Illinois coach Ron Zook received a verbal commitment from St. Augustine (Fla.) defensive end/linebacker Darryl Lee this weekend. According to ESPN.com, Lee chose the Illini over South Carolina, West Virginia, Louisville, Kentucky and Indiana.

Lee, the 14th verbal commitment for Illinois, will play linebacker for the Illini. As the first prep senior linebacker to commit to Illinois, Lee fills a void in Zook's Class of 2009. With three senior linebackers on the roster (Brit Miller, Sam Carson and Rodney Pittman), Lee could give the Illini much-needed depth.

Lee boasts great speed (4.52-second 40-yard dash) and athleticism (34-inch vertical). Lee is the second Florida prospect to commit to the Illini, joining Tallahassee offensive lienman Andrew Carter.

The Class of 2009:

PLAYER    POS.    SCHOOL

Kraig Appleton   WR       East St. Louis 

Lendell Buckner    DL    Chicago Leo

Andrew Carter    OL    Tallahassee (Fla.) Leon

Jake Feldmeyer    OL    Centerville (Ohio)

Greg Fuller    RB    Thornton

Bud Golden  RB  Cincinnati Sycamore

Terry Hawthorne    WR    East St. Louis

Leon Hill    OL    Chicago Leo

Tommie Hopkins    DB    East St. Louis

Steve Hull    WR    Cincinnati Sycamore

Darryl Lee    DE/LB    St. Augustine (Fla.)

Nathan Scheelhaase    QB    Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst

Hugh Thornton   OT   Oberlin (Ohio)

Joelil Thrash    DB    Washington (D.C.) H.D. Woodson
