This will be a busy end of the week and weekend for the Northwestern football team, which will be hosting a number of 2014 recruits. Here's the list of who we have so far, with their profiles on our recruiting board. The most interesting one might be Dareian Watkins, a S/WR from Ohio who just named his top five — NU, Louisville, Michigan State, Indiana and Illinois, according to Scout. He will be deciding on May 1. Check out our recruiting board for more recruiting info. If we missed something or you have a tip about someone visiting, let us know at recruiting@insidenu.com.
