Local kid(for me) Evan Watkins signed on with NU. I saw him play a couple of times. Big kid 6'6" with a nice arm, quirky delivery but that can be taught. He has some speed and can roll outside the pocket. Looks like a good pickup.

Football. He took Glenbard North to the 8A FInals as a Junior. Was recruited by several other Big Ten schools.

First time we've had a QB with size! Super excited about this one! (EDITOR'S NOTE: Mud was also very excited when the Brown's recruited Tim Couch).

We also got a guy either last year or the year prior named Joe Mauro from Texas who is near 6'6". Evan looks more mobile and has more arm strength. I still think alot of the QB thing is mental... and Evan appears to have that quality on the highlight reel I saw. He's got some quirky mechanics, but I think they can straighten him out. Regardless, I like the fact we landed a good local kid. Fitz has been doing a pretty good job locally... I'm not ready to "crown his ass," but I am encouraged.

Awwwww c'mon... we'll never forget those guys. Zak and Steve are still living around Chicago. I've seen them more than a couple of times. Steve's got some kids near my kids' age and I see them in Hinsdale every now and then. Baz is still with the Jaguars last I heard... He's been able to hang on, which is pretty impressive given that he sure wasn't built like a NFL QB.

NIU and Iowa had offers to him as well, but he went for the education and I don't blame him one bit.
