Tom Fuessel??

[Turk]

Is he healthy enough to play football this year? He was a recruit that most of us were really excited about.

I have no inside info but at this point I doubt that this guy will ever take the field for NU. Based on the returning scholarship players from last year and the 20 signees from this class, we are at 87 total scholarship players for next year. That is two over the limit so I think we'll soon hear about a couple of kids on the roster that won't be playing going forward . My guess is that Fuessel will announce his retirement due to medical issues and will be moved onto a non athletic scholarship. Its too bad because I think the kid could have been really good.

Certainly seems likely. I hope he is healthy and able to complete his education at NU.

There may be some move on medical non-counters, but I'm not entirely convinced it will be Fuessel.

Thanks, gcg. That's about the first ... even semblance of good news I've heard about him.

The negative to GCG's comment is there may be others we expect to contribute that can't go. I sure hope we don't start 2015 like 2014 with an extensive list of "out for the year" before we take a snap.

Haven't heard anything about significant contributors being out for extensive periods of time.

They haven't been through spring or summer practice yet.

That would be a pleasant surprise. I would love to see him on the field.
