I think we should make an exception and allow Mr. Wilson and Mr. Sullivan to sign letters of intent to Northwestern a year early. I’m sure the NCAA would not object. They are such a swell group of folks.

I'm beginning to think they are great but I think they are local news done for the home town and home supporters who have invested in the kid for many years. It is a goodbye of sorts.

Close doesn’t mean much in recruiting, but I think it’s a pretty big deal to be in consideration for such a high profile recruit. Hope this is a sign of good things to come.

Any word on another receiver for 2019?

With Kirtz and Dennis committed, I think the staff takes a "high bar" approach... wait on a guy like Genson Hooper-Price, see if anyone is an absolute "must offer" on senior film.

Move forward with the times. I, for one, do not care what hat he wears when he dances as long as he ends up faxing his LOI to NU.

Oddly enough, the Bulldogs is actually Fresno State not Georgia.

Good catch! I was confused by the colors but thought it must be UGA. Anyways, every school on this list is on the west coast except for NU and michigan. I’m thinking this kid is staying in the PAC 12

Please stop with the "get off my lawn" stuff. As you said, these are 16 & 17 year olds, so let them have their fun This is likely the biggest decision of their young lives, except maybe, who am I taking to the prom. I would like to see NU have more of these "hat dance" kids consider them.

Exactly. As our profile rises, we will (and want to) get more kids that are "hat dance" worthy. I agree, seems arrogant, but I guess that might be because I didn't get to do one when I was 16 or 17.

Collin Sullivan out of Round Rock/TX is another 2020 WR on whom we're "in" early. Hopefully we can see some early success on the field and get that "next level" kid on campus sooner than later.

I'm going to follow Wilson and Sullivan (not literally or on facebook) over the next couple of years. Will be interesting to see where they end up. They are 15-16 year old kids. Still maturing physically and otherwise. Way too early IMHO to be slapping 4 and 5 star labels on them. Way too premature to be projecting them off sophomore highlights and summer camps. Way too early to be offering them commitable scholarships. But if I had to, as is apparently the situation today in recruiting, I would currrently project Wilson as a Kyle Prater II and Sullivan as a M. Wilson II. Junior film should be much more telling.

I saw a quote from him or his family on an Oregon pay board (I’m a lifelong NU fan/UO alum). I’ll try to track it down.

So it turns out it was a quote from a few months back someone dug up. Oregon fans were struggling to believe it was Fresno as well. Basically he just mentions having serious interest and that they would likely be in the mix when he cut down his schools. As strange as it seems, it's definitely Fresno in the top 6. Unfortunately he's considered a pretty heavy SC lean by Duck insiders.

How did you come to be an NU fan?

My dad is an NU grad, so I was raised a diehard fan of the Cats. I grew up in Rockford and was known as the Northwestern kid surrounded by all the Illini and Badger fans. Been following NU since the Len Williams/Gissendaner football days and the Baldwin/Rankin/Neloms hoops years.

Not terribly surprising that a big-time SoCal kid is favoring USC, but says something that NU has already gotten him to campus on his own dime.

Absolutely. USC hasn't had quite the same death grip on SoCal recruits under Helton as they did in the past. It's definitely worth the effort for NU. FWIW, one of the more plugged-in Oregon guys says that NU is a legit player for Wilson and are by no means just filling out his list. Apparently Fitz has built a really strong relationship here.
