Once a kid had committed to another school, Northwestern stopped calling him. Too bad other coaches do subscribe to that sentiment - take the new coach at Minnesota, Tim Brewster. He's on record saying that he intends to call every kid in the state who has committed outside the state this year and ask them to reconsider. One of the things that NU's Football student athletes learned was that there was a mutual commitment between them and the coach that started when the called the head coach and said they planned to sign NU's Letter of Intent. We've had very few commits renege lately, and I doubt we will under Fitz.... But while we all knew Zook was calling every other school's commits in Illinois, he didn't come out and broadcast that fact. If a kid calls the new coach and says he's planning to reconsider, fine, but I doubt NU's assistants are calling the Minny commits and asking them if they're still committed. Randy Walker stressed that he considered a kid's commitment binding, regardless of where he had committed. Brewster should look inside himself and use the same set of morals. Maybe he should work on his wall around the state and build for the future instead of clouding the waters in his first 4 weeks.
The student paper in Columbus, has the following headline in their sports section today: Conley, Buckeyes humiliate purple kitties I'm wondering if they actually saw the game, since afterwards, Bill Carmody and the WGN guys thought NU played a decent game, and ran their offense but just didn't get the shots to drop. I guess you can show off your "rent-a-team" as the 4 star frosh work on their pre-NBA game, but NU's 1-3-1 zone held the "star" off the scoreboard, and the Bucks gave up an awful number of steals and turnovers. NU even closed up the rebounding late in the game. The Cats played a game like this against Utah, only they were on the winning side. The Bucks have to come into our house next Wednesday. If they don't get off to a good night shooting, we'll see who the "kitties" actually are.
