Here's Alan Friedman's take on NU's class:
Top commit: Mason Robinson
Total commits: 17
Rivals250 commits: 0
Notable remaining targets: Adepoju Adebawore, Jordan Sanford, Parker Jenkins
Only once in the history of the Rivals team rankings has Northwestern finished with a top 50 class. Think about that when other people say this No. 5 ranking doesn't matter. What Pat Fitzgerald and his staff have done so far in this class is extremely impressive, with commitments from two four-star front-seven defenders and a handful of highly rated three-star prospects.
The Wildcats have the third-most commitments, so their ranking will adjust as more teams amass more of their own. But there are a number of multiyear contributors in this Northwestern class, a few of which will be pursued by other teams throughout the rest of the recruiting cycle.
