Pretty decent list - there is already one NFL 1st round draft pick and two 2nd round picks on this list.
That said, the list is littered with transfers. Ten of the top 24 guys in this class didn't make it and/or have transferred from the school to which they originally commmitted.
Also, one guy pleaded guilty to felony drug dealing charges.
NU signed one safety in this class - Nate Gerry (Rivals has him listed as an Athlete in their rankings).
