This is an off week for the Wildcats, but the recruiting drive goes on!
We lost several recruits this week as WR Dominic Blalock will be headed for Louisville, DE Bo Reid will be heading to Rockford
, DT Brian Shapiro is going to Indiana and S Russell Weaver is off to Illinois.
But all is not doom and gloom for the home team as Northwestern signs it's first recruit of the new Wildcats,...... S Dwayne Wynn!
Wynn is a true Blue Chip prospect and his signing may be the trigger that makes other recruits consider Northwestern just a tad bit more. Here are Wynn's stats: 63 Tackles, 3.5 sacks and 12 Interceptions in 9 games! (I will sum up all the rankings at the end of the season for all my recruits) That said, Wynn has been picked for the All-Country Team!!! Not bad for the first ever recruit to sign!!!
2004 Recruiting Needs: QB?, FB?, WR x2, G, T, DE, DT x2, OLB, CB x2, S x2.
Estimated Available Scholarships: 27 (3 Black, Red, Blue Recruits Left)
