Riddled with injuries, Maine South RB and Indiana recruit Matt Perez rushed for over 300 yards in the Illinois state title game.
Maine South RB Matt Perez will make the first of many trips to Champaign this weekend for the 8A State Championship. He’ll return next year as a Hoosier.
Not a whole lot going on in the world of Big Ten recruiting so I just threw together a few stories that caught my attention:

Nathan Scheelhaase is part of Ron Zook’s ‘09 recruiting class. Whether it’s with his arm or his feet, he won’t disappoint Illini faithful.
He is going to Michigan State. He lives to be a Spartan. He constantly has 300-pounders chomping at the bit to split him in two. He doesn’t care.
