Despite the fact that this is Northwestern''s Big Ten opener, it doesn't look like there will be any major prospects visiting Ryan Field.
I have learned that Class of 2016 commits Brian Bulluck, Eric Eshoo and Aidan Smith will all be there. There will probably be some others commits in attendance, too.
In terms of prospects, sources say that no one with an offer will be attending. There will be a few players visiting that the Cats are interested in, but sources didn't want to identify them.
One other tidbit: 2016 RB Kene Nwangwu told me that he will most likely take his official to NU after the season. That's what NU wants him to do, which means they've probably assured him that a scholarship will be there for him. His other favorite is Kansas. He has not scheduled a visit to Lawrence yet.
Basketball: NU will not have anyone in to visit this weekend. The Cats are done with their 2016 class, but expect some 2017 visitors to visit for a football game later in the season.
