I admire Fitz for a lot of reasons but two things he said today on BTN and with Lou and the local media:
1. He said that they do not stay hard after someone committed somewhere else. I love that he is frank (like GB was) and he focuses his attention and NU’s resources on guys that have a more sincere interest in life in purple and Evanston.
2. When he was talking on BTN and he said that middle schoolers really need to understand how important 9th grade is when it comes to qualifying and preparing realistically for D1 athletics, even at a place less stringent than NU.
It’s reassuring to know we have a coach that understands his culture and sticks to it and goes after quality guys with character and can provide the right chemistry rather than “stars”. Looking forward to him reaching 100 wins (this year if we’re lucky). Excited to get going, as always. Go ‘Cats!!
