Since 2007 when Fitz came on board, he has gained one city player, ie., Anthony battle, a few years back. He ended up signing Walker's original target, Charles Brown in 2007. But that's it.
I don't want to hear all the BS about how City players don't fit NU academically or otherwise. That's all BS.
I've seen other solid programs take Chicago's kids and make men out of them.
NU needs to get off their high perch and fix this, if it really wants to be "Chicago's Team".
There are tons and tons of smart city players who have high IQ's who may not have received the best ACT score due to the environmental circumstances of having shitty public schools with putrid resources.
NU needs to bridge that like other private schools do. In some ways, I think NU's 'high academic standards' are prejudice, and maybe intentionally so since it's much more difficult to overcome some challenges at public high schools when they may lack the resources of suburban schools.
