Only surprise to me, is that Nitschke wasn't already in.

Do you think they maybe had the outline for the first 5 or so classes so they could have big names in every one to grab attention?

Some of those names seem like “duh” type names, but spreading them out gives you real conversation pieces for every induction

Somewhat surprised that Jenna Smith and Michelle Bartsch weren't already in...to add to the names listed by previous posters that also stuck out to me. Think about the list of our history as a sports program...the first SEVERAL classes are going to have people in them that make you say "that's a really big name...how were they not already in?"
