I think Main South's 2013 QB prospect is gonna pick NU over ND. Would be a great get for Northwestern if it is true. Decision likely to come soon.

Looks like NU is in the driver's seat for 5 star recruit/transfer Kyle Prater. That assumes that admissions is all squared away. Apparently despite a low ACT, his high grades at Proviso and good first two years at USC will help. Glad to see the kid come.

With 4 star Greg Kuhar and Malin Jones, this was a pretty decent recruiting class for Northwestern. Would have been nice to get 4 star Abner Logan and Faith Ekatite through admissions, but can't win them all I suppose. We really could have used them on defense.

I'm sure no matter what the recruiting class, Fitzgerald will still work his magic.

Why would any admissions department consider ACT/SAT for a transfer. Those tests are presumably used as a predictor of academic ability at the next level while a transfer student has already established the ability to suceed...especially at USC.

you're probably right. SAT/ACT should probably be trumped by grades at USC.

ND currently has 4 Quarterbacks. Alviti would be really stupid to go there.

Do not underestimate Brian Kelly's ability to mentally destroy a few of them with his constant red ass and screaming.

He'll end up doing that.
Rees will get benched in the 2nd Qtr. of the Michigan game, replaced by Hendrix...who will lose 2 games. He'll skip over Golston, ruining him in the process. Eventually he'll give the reigns over to Kiel, too early of course. By week 8, all of his QBs will hate him.

So does NU.

EDIT: or did you mean 4 QBs in the recruiting class?

Currently on the team and enrolled in classes.

ACT/SAT isn't important and doesn't mean anything in a transfer...unless it's important, then it means everything.

You know me like that.

I thought Evan Watkins changed positions.

Yep, he's technically a superback (TE hybrid) I suppose. So you have Kain Colter from Colorado, Trevor Siemien from Florida, Zach Oliver from Lousiana, and Evan Watkins ... local kid. Kain is a dual threat. Trevor is more of a pure passer and could be in the Basanez mold. Zach was much heralded and I think will be the best of them all. He looks to me a lot like Alviti... I suppose that's where the big QB competition will be two years from now.

Matt Alviti apparently isn't in any rush to commit. Now he's saying he might not commit until the summer. To me, I don't get it. Michigan State's offense doesn't fit him. He's behind Gunner at ND. He looks like Persa 2.0. Seems like a perfect fit.

F- me... Prater looks like a beast. Bigger than some of our lineman.

NU must have some pretty lean linemen.
