[NU Sports] Recruits

 Don't forget those other selling points - 20 inch snowfalls, horrific winds off the lake, and a perennially underperforming mens basketball team...

Besides the academic card our only other significant competitive advantage to 

sell these out of state  kids who are eligible for NU and are wanted by their 

state school is that they will likely get earlier playing time or that we will 

build our program around them 



 That's a tough sell that many 17 year olds may not buy

(Texas got one five-star running back and fifteen four-stars.  At least

one of those sixteen athletes must be Northwestern material.  Sigh.)



------------------------------



Took a look at his class and you're right.  There were a couple of kids

that appeared to have the high school academic record that would also

qualify for Northwestern (straight-A's, National Honor Society, etc.).

The problem was that they were all from Texas.  In fact, Brown only had

to go out of Texas for one kid.  He was from Oklahoma and there was no

mention of his academic success, so I suspect that he wouldn't have

qualified for Northwestern.



As we have mentioned before, Northwestern is only going get those

outstate kids who DON'T want to play for an in-state school.  The smart

Texas football players can stay home and still have several good choices

for schools that blend academics and football.  They have to get through

all those choices BEFORE they become legit Northwestern prospects.  



Though Northwestern does recruit well in Texas that speaks more to the

number of good football players that come out of that state than any

advantage it may have over in-state schools.
