Maryland seemed to be starting slow, but their class is now nine deep! (regardless of any subjective ratings :), Syracuse and Florida with 8, UNC, BC, ND with 7. NW appears to only have 1, with 200+ committed ?
Remember northwestern has a totally different recruiting philosophy than other top program. They focus on athleticism over almost everything else and will bring in lots of "diamonds in the rough"
In last year's freshman class, 3 of their 9 signings hadn't touch a stick before their freshman year.
I'd expect them to have 4 or 5 signings (mostly big names) by early October and then fill out the class with super athletic girls you have probably never heard of over the fall.
StonyBrook does similar, and it works out quite well for them. Many “top recruits” got their recognition due to politics, and do nothing in college. For example, BC top recruit from a couple years ago doesn’t see the field
