Haven't seen Jalen Blackmon's name on here as far as I know, but he was in Evanston today:

Is there any time frame in the people that know when this person will publicly commit?

NU hosted 7ft Keenan this weekend. Played AAU with same program as Ty, then played at Stanford before transferring to Stony Brook. Hope we land him.

…not THREE, but I’m hearing Northwestern got FOUR commits today!

I PREDICT that Dube Enongene is one of them.

That’s all I got so far. Stay tuned. What a weekend!

That’s the 2023 $$$ distribution per B1G member. We are VERY fortunate to be a founding member of the conference. I’m hopeful our BOT understands the need for us to remain competitive in all sports.

Here's the story from WildcatReport on Sullivan's decision to enter the transfer portal.

Not intended to be a comprehensive list but in light of the two offers yesterday, here's a list of self-reported offers from X and listed on the Verbal Commits website:

Most recent:

Simon Walker - SG - Alabama (6'5)
Josiah Sanders - PG - Aurora, CO (6'4)
Jayden Forsythe - SG - NY (6'4) - 5/19
Mason Blackwood - SG/SF - NY (6'5 to 6'7) - 5/19
Brady Koehler - SF - Indiana (6'8) - 5/5

Older offers out there:

Keyshaun Tillery - CG - NY (6'1)
Angelino Mark - LA (6'2)
Phoenix Gill - Chicago (6'2)

Guys with offers who we will likely will never see on campus:

Xavion Staton (7)
Trent Sisley (6'8)

Feels so weird...
