Holy cow. Our 2017 class is blowing up, to put it in the popular parlance of our times.
Congrats to Trevor! Welcome to the Wildcat family! Great to have you aboard!

I have this image of Coach Hank showing up at Coach Brown's house this morning and asking him to show him that dance move.
Bob Stoops just called Lovie at Illinois to see if they still had this and asked if he could have it.
Another site has him as a Tight End. Are we confirmed that he is planned to be a DE at NU rather than a TE?
Awesome football player on both sides of the ball. Too good to keep off the field when his team has the ball! Couldn't help but notice how he keeps on playing after he destroys his primary target on offense. Many, many plays where he has multiple offensive blocks and a ton of pancakes.
Great head for the ball on defense. One of the best 2-way prospects I've seen.

This is great! Like they say "the best offense is a great defense." Too bad in our case it's "the only offense is our great defense." Let's see some WR--a great QB (or a new coach or two). It's only March, however.

Awesome get! Is he our 2nd or 3rd DE? I also see Miller and Brown on the list. Really like all the recruits so far this year.
Lou,
With their offer lists, it's just astonishing to me that Earnest is unranked by Rivals and Trevor is a *** star. Both are **** stars on TOS! Let's get with it Rivals.
We just have to start telling the world that our recruiting is far and a way more advanced than Rivals and most services, including other schools. NU is simply the best.
You might think you're kidding, but you're not far off. NU was Kent's first offer at back in the fall and relatively early with Brown as well, at least before both blew up on the recruiting trail.
How do we hold this kind of thing up for others to see. Being very good at one thing often translates into other things. Fitz's staff knows college football.
I'll keep saying this until I am blue in the face. This staff has always been very good at talent evaluation. We need to ramp up the talent development.
Earnest is unranked because Rivals' experts haven't evaluated him yet. It's not a reflection on his ability. Kent is a 3-star, but he's a 5.7, which is .1 away from a 4-star. I agree he should be a 4, but he's awfully close already. And really, who cares? Look at their offer lists instead of their star rankings.

First, a big welcome to Trevor and Earnest! It is clear that the success of our defensive coaches, Hankwitz, Bates, Long, and Brown, both on the field and in producing draftable players from guys who were not projected to be great players out of HS, is being recognized. With the new facility and Fitz and his staff here for the long haul, NU's football future looks darn good.
Wouldn't Vatile and Lowry's recent scores at the combine point to read development?
Points to good training schools that specifically prepare you for the Combine.
