Chicago Tribune article covering the recruiting of Illinois FCS programs. ILL St. got a few studs and Western got a QB. Doesn't say much about SIU.

Wow, the Chicago Bears' Al Harris has a son going to Illinois State. Seems like Al always played well against the Vikes back in the day.

Defensive line recruit Jason Harris was a four-year varsity player at Barrington and Tribune All-State special mention. The son of ex-Bears defensive lineman Al Harris had 72 tackles, 13 sacks and an interception last season.

Also mentioned was Western Illinois, looks like they got another QB prospect, with Veldman switching his verbal from Western Illinois to NDSU.

Western Illinois: Bulldogs coach Bob Nielson announced a 24-member class that includes Jack Beneventi, a 6-6 quarterback originally bound for Iowa before the Hawkeyes pulled the offer late last year.
Beneventi began at Benet Academy where he was ranked among the nation's top quarterbacks in 2012 and '13 while setting a series of school records. He switched to Fenwick as a senior and played most of the season before a late-season slump led to a benching.

Sounded like UNI lost a few of their recruits in the last week or so.

Interesting. We're they poached by the fbs ranks?

After losing some battles to YSU in Florida, I like seeing that Pelini abandoned ship down there.

Missouri St class is tiny with only 15. They have some transfers?

When your QB target was benched his senior year, you are not impressing me.

Yeah you really want to see the chart trend upwards. Getting. QB who peaked his junior year not so good. Then again he transferred so like any qb it's not easy to learn an offense quickly but if you can't do it at the high school level, how the heck do you do it in the Missouri Valley Conference? Must be falling in love with the 6-6 frame... or they just didn't have a plan B when we got Veldman

Al Harris never played for the Bears, spent most of his years in Green Bay.
