Click here for the story on the 2007 recruiting class at NU. I'm no expert, but the apparent lack of national focus is disturbing. 17 of the 19 signees are Midwesterners, and indeed 10 of the 19 come from Illinois and Ohio. A nationally-famed school like NU should be able to attract recruits from across the country, and indeed, how can the school expect to compete in the Big Ten with a limited recruiting scope? Scout.com ranks NU's recruiting class as #56 in the nation, and #8 (of 11) in the Big Ten.
In contrast to the football story, applications for admission to NU are up 19% year-over-year, partly due to the switch to the Common Application form. But if the school can draw record numbers of students, why can't the football program?
