Doesn't NU have 4 spots for the 2016 class? NU has 2 Juniors, 4 Sophomores and 3 Freshmen which totals 9, and leaves 4 spots.
Verbal Commits indicates only 3 Schollies.
What about the grad transfer who became official last week?
Seeing them all listed out here... this may be as deep and well-rounded of a roster we have ever had for NU hoops. I am really excited about the coming season!!He's included. Here is the roster:
Seniors: Olah, Demps, ven Zegeren
Juniors: Lumpkin, Taphorn
Sophs: Law, BMac, Lindsey, Skelly
Freshmen: Ash, Falzon, Pardon
So NU currently has 12 players on scholarship against a max of 13. Three run out of eligibility after this season, so there are 4 available for next year.

While there is no Shurna or Crawford ...
While I think it would be absurd to put the pressure on any kid to live up to John Shurna's career at Northwestern, I don't think you can say we don't necessarily have a Shurna or Crawford on the team. Guys get better over 4 years, and especially from year 1 to year 2.I agree. While there is no Shurna or Crawford, there are no players who clearly don't belong in the Big 10. Bodes well for the future!
It shows why NU might really benefit by having players in your program for 4 years as opposed to factory schools like OSU and MSU whose players leave early. Shakes3858 brings up an excellent point that if you are on a weaker team, there are more opportunities to score. I love Jon Shurna, but his scoring averages did increase because Kevin Coble was dismissed or chose to leave the program and the team only had a couple of Big 10 level players on each squad.
Ok. I was focusing on Garry Harris who was a pretty good player at MSU and he played two seasons. Maybe I meant UM instead of MSU (Burke, Hardaway, Jr., Robinson III, McGrary, Stauskas) or Indiana (Zeller, Oladipo and Vonleh) who have been hurt by players leaving early and that will help schools like NU whose players do not have that option of being drafted by the NBA before their eligibility runs out.
