Norwood Teague on Jerry Kill as a recruiter: "Oh gosh, I think he’s terrific."
per a Q&A in the Daily:
Coach [Jerry] Kill’s football recruiting class ranked 62nd in the NCAA and 13th in the Big Ten by ESPN. How would you grade Kill’s recruiting abilities?
Oh gosh, I think he’s terrific. He and his staff are incredible with going out and evaluating talent that is maybe underrated. They’ve proven that while they’ve been here. They’ve proven it at Northern Illinois, and they are the best I’ve ever seen at that, so I wouldn’t pay attention to rankings. It’ll be another great class.
Do you think the new facilities would enhance his recruitment?
I think it will help with certain prospects, and with others, it might not be as large of a factor. But Jerry and his staff have a great way of finding talented football players that are great in high school that end up translating to the college game. And that’s really difficult with football because you sign 25 kids. They say if you bat 50 percent, you’ve done very well. And he’s usually over that.
