With all the PWO activity, it got me wondering if there is a different underlying recruiting strategy in place. At what point, if any, is a PWO preferable to a fresh out of HS scholarship player? If NU more than ever sees itself as a development program that needs to keep players who complete their degrees and not transfer, why not bring on PWOs instead of two stars and some three stars. Probably no difference in terms of ultimate ceiling plus maybe it's smart to get a player in to see how their first year goes before committing to a four year scholarship. That way the academic side pays the bill if the kid stays four years and the football side can be more strategic giving out scholarships. If the sky rains four stars or transfers the program will have scholarships available. If the kid is a bust after a year or so, he stays in school but doesn't take up a scholarship.
