According to Inside NU today....

[Evanstonian]

Fuessel and Joraskie have retired from the team.

Who did we p*** off for all this bad luck to hit us recently? Best wishes for both of these young men, wish that we had had the opportunity to watch them play for NU.

I had high hopes for them both but just shows how important it is to go to a good school

Uh, this was reported earlier on The Rock. You really should subscribe!

Fuessel is no surprise. I did not realize that Joraskie's injuries were that serious.

I had high hopes for these guys, but hopefully they can return to full health and complete their degrees at NU.

I think we will see more and more of this.

First player safety is just much more important these days.

Second, as we recruit better and better athletes, guys who are nursing along injuries are less likely to ever get on the field.

Third, NU wants to be more competitive so guys who are less likely to ever get on the field again will be encouraged more than before to retire to open up spots for new prospects. I don't mean that in a bad way, more of a face the facts way and a protect your body way.
