Troy Taylor Out at Stanford per Thamel

I’d take all of WR JonAnthony Hall, DE Gabe Kaminski, and/or CB Brandon Nicholson — 2024 or 2025 guys that Braun offered and recruited extensively. TE Zach Giuliano is a former NU commit, but I always felt like we were just a convenient placeholder for him. Also offered DE Adam Shovlin, but I don’t think we were really ever involved.

Back a couple classes, TE Chico Holt transferred from NU to Stanford post-Fitz.

Interesting that we’ve already got Farrell in the building to help if we so choose.
Geez, Chico has a black cloud over his head.

Oh goodie, a bunch of guys off another terrible team (they have anybody whgo is any good?)

Edit: Maybe exactly one player: Elic Ayomanor, a second team all ACC WR. He is a third year RS-SO rising RS-JR, so he may be in the awkward year for our transfer rules (unclear since academically he's a prohibited rising senior but athleticly he's an allowed rising sophomore.

Stanford had literally zero other players on the All ACC squad, including honorable mention, which is wild because there are several dozen honorable mention guys. This is a shit shit team.

Northwestern's 2025 transfer portal outlook

"Hunger is graduating with a degree in June, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he decides to leave the program and go somewhere he could get more playing time."

I'm surprised he's getting his degree in 3 years. Are you sure?

If so, gotta give the guy credit.
A lot of players on FB team do (presumably because many of them are in summer school cause they already need to be on campus), I would guess BB is similar. But a question, If we lose Hunger would we need to get two Bigs rather than just one?

Joe announces his retirement at the end of 25-26

This is a mistake. He should have resigned now. Who can he recruit for next year? A bad look for our new AD. He’s allowing the program to languish for another year.
So on the big issues so far is Jackson 1-1? Having entered into negotiations with Collins for extension with added admissions flexibility and enhanced NIL being a win while this move on McKown being a loss so far? If he was at the end of his contract this year, his recruiting has already suffered for one or more years (being in last year of contract) and now going to add another. I would sure hope that there is more to this plan than just giving him a farewell tour

What if Collins ...

We still don’t know what Collins’ ceiling is here. We’ve got a good core of young freshman this year and his best recruiting class yet coming in. I’m excited to see what the next few years have in store for us!
Hopefully he has learned a lot from his last Best Recruiting Class. I think that was the Nance, Kopp class of 2018. Great expectations and while it turned out OK it was not great. I think he has determined that he needs more of the lunch pail guys that bond and work together.
