As much as I might want to agree with Roy's statement (below),  kids who
sign with Northwestern are largely different from kids who sign  with
the football factory schools, and that may be a far greater  factor
in decommits than the ethos Fitz projects.  

That affect  how well NU can recruit in places like Florida, though the
midwest weather  may be a factor there, too.

Far too many of those kids aren't good  enough students to get into 
Northwestern in the first place, and many of  the ones who are being sought 
by the football factories have NFL dreams  that Northwestern isn't (as) 
likely to make come true.    

Also, I've known a few young men who were being recruited, few of us  
faced that kind of attention and pressure when we were that age.
