- NU has TWO early enrollees in this class. We knew about superback Trey Pugh, but defensive tackle Sam Miller has also enrolled. NU will have a release on it soon. That's good for both guys; it's always good to have someone else in your shoes. And for Miller, his brother is already here, as well.
- It looks like ALL of the 2017 commits -- plus Pugh and Miller, obviously -- will be on campus this weekend, which isn't easy to do. The guys I've talked to are pumped for the weekend.
- I asked a couple commits who the funniest guy in the class is, and they both responded with the same guy: Joe Spivak, the preferred walkon DT from Montini. "He's wild" and "he's quite a character" were the comments. I'm going to have to make it a point to talk to him now.
- Things are going well in the recruitment of 2018 OL Charlie Schmidt. He visited for the Nebraska and Wisconsin games, as well as a bowl practice. The staff wants him to take an overnight visit to NU soon. Schmidt blocked for Riley Lees at Libertyville (Ill.) and keeps in touch with the NU wideout. Schmidt is up to four offers now, from NU, Iowa State, Syracuse and Vandy.
