[NU Sports] Recruiting

[Dennis W. Brandt]

Here in Pennsylvania, Penn State fans are agog at the quality of its 
recruiting class, and it's a large one that may have an impact for the next 
four or five years.  Northwestern's class is a definite disappointment on 
paper.  Sure, some of those four and five star guys will flunk out, ruin 
their knees, or arrive with bad attitudes, while Northwestern might have 
another Pat Fitzgerald among those mere double-star recruits.  But as long 
as we go year after year getting no top notch players, we can expect to be 
about .500 give or take.  Recruiting HAS to improve.
