Not much, considering we don’t offer inducements to incoming HS recruits.
Perhaps you should, I don’t know, try becoming part of a lawsuit that would accelerate that process. Sounds like a good idea.
this recruit is interesting. He had solid offers but, after watching his tape, I am surprised he didn't have more. Credit to Braun.
Both.
“It was really coach (Aristotle Thompson) and coach (David) Braun,” Morris told Rivals' Adam Gorney. “They really brought it home for me.
We don’t even recruit him without Aristotle. Amachree might have ended up a Cat if Foster didn’t jump ship to Duke.
I suppose I might, too, if I were an ILL fan that watched NU beat them so many times between 2000-20. They were lost in the wilderness and now they have an actual program. It's like how Michigan is crowing about beating OSU 4 straight after losing like 18 of 20
Hopefully the other two return now that WickerTurk is back baby!
Glades still posts occasionally. Midvale Dave has had some serious health issues, and has been gone for a long time. Does anyone know whether he's still alive?
I’m happy to report that Midvale Dave is still very much alive.
Sure hope so. I once spent a few hours with Dave at the Cats' fall camp, and he was enjoyable to to be with. I too would be glad if Turk is back with us. (Could never understand the anti-Turk feelings sometimes expressed here.) But then -- at risk of sounding too Will Rogers-like -- I never met a person from this board I didn't like. Sorry that current family circumstances prevent traveling to NU sports as I could some years back. Met some fine people.
P.S. Just saw Coral's report about Midvale. Good to know.
The one I wonder about is @willycat.
Long time poster and season ticket holder. Haven’t heard or seen anything from him in quite a while. 🤷♂️

That's great news - do you have any contact with him? Is there any chance of getting him back in the fold, even if it's only on the free board.
Yep, I wonder about him as well. His first name is Cary I believe. He was at uber's tailgate in the West lot at almost every home game. Midvale, Turk, Alan Smithee, and numerous other luminaries were there as well. They were to the north of the families of players and our tailgate was to the south of the families. Sometimes Glades and FloridAlum would show up as well. Maybe somebody with a better memory than this old man can list some of the others as well
Great NU fan and fun board poster. Tell him a lot of us miss him and wish him well.
You did pretty well! JustGary was another that comes to mind. And who could forget Shakes!
How about Fiadich, (pronounced Faydjic) and his wife, as well as the guy from Houston who sometimes flew in just for the day. Also, Alaskawildcat came in for homecoming, usually bearing some smoked salmon, and divided his time between our tailgate and uber's. I'm sure he has some photos he could post.

Fiadich (and wife) both alive and doing well. Had the pleasure of seeing them in Dublin. He’s more of a lurker these days. There’s a good chance you will see them this fall.
Good to hear. This is a big year for me because I'll be attending my 60th NU reunion. Other than that game in early October I don't know how many others I will do. I have to drive from Erie to Cleveland, fly to Chicago, and then take an Uber or cab to Evanston. No more 450 mile drives for me!
Your first two sentences contradict each other.
Stone versus Sully in the Swamp.
I’ll try to watch from the comfy schmumfy couch. My last and only trip to NOLA was a difficult one; I’ll only go back for work or if my kids somehow end up stranded there.
Cary (willycat) helped organize the mini Purple Party at the Rice game in 2010, since FloridAlum couldn't make the trip to Houston for that one. Haven't seen him post here in years now.
Purple Party in NOLA? I'll likely be driving over for the game, possibly with a couple of kids. I assume it'll be a night game due to the heat and humidity.
If you all do this then you should clearly hold the Purple Party at Strief’s brewery (they serve delicious food too!).
I think FloridAlum was friends with his parents so a gathering there would be most apropos.
Don't forget the occasional visit from Alaskacat (or was he at yours) though he still posts. Also the Pumpkin Smasher (well he smashed them when we played IL). Have not seen him post in a long time
