Reilly O'Toole ... Future Illini QB


Reilly O'Toole of Wheaton Warrenville South is the newest Illini QB recruit.

Putting aside that the kid has a choice quarterback name straight out of 1960's middle America, Reilly has all the trappings of a potential stellar QB. He's 6'4", accurate, led his high school team to the Illinois 7A state title last season and has solid all-around athleticism.

As a testament to his athleticism, take this write-up on the '09-'10 DuPage All-Area Boys' Basketball Team:

"Hitting a game-winner against Walther Lutheran and scoring 31 against Naperville Central, the 6-foot-3 all-DuPage Valley sophomore thrived taking over games. O'Toole hit 78 3s on 41 percent shooting, averaging 13 points and 3 boards. "He has a very high athletic IQ," coach Mike Healy said."

Nice. A kid who can toss the pigskin downfield with accuracy, and drain threes at will.

Welcome to the Illini.
