B1G Portal transfers tracker

Any idea if we contacted this dude? Entered portal 3 days ago, reports that TX A&M and Indiana have reached out.


Unimpressive numbers at Missouri. But a big time prospect out of HS. Maybe an angle here that he could get more minutes at NU than at others power conference programs.

Very little playing time at Mizzou. Not a stretch guy— no 3s and all of on 26% free throws.
We’re getting a bit desperate on bigs but it’s not clear that this guy would be that helpful except to clog the lane but maybe there’s something there if TAM & IU are actually interested in him .

2025 Northwestern Basketball Transfer Tracker

Hey Matt,

In your article you list several portal players NU reached out to, but only 1 hasn't committed somewhere else.
I can see where a week ago SI.com stated that NU was one of 4 schools who had contacted Duke Brennan of Grand Canyon, the 6'10" center...
There is a more recent tweet listing about 20 schools who Brennan says have contacted him.
He's got official visits with Stanford, Villanova and Iowa.
Various sources are listing him as a junior - which would be problematic for NU admissions.

We decided we wanted to add a target section to the basketball tracker this year, and then update as players signed or were removed from the board. Dynes and Schwieger both committed elsewhere after taking or scheduling NU visits, and Brown is assumed to be off the board though he hasn't committed elsewhere yet since NU has already taken two guards.

Brennan is indeed a heavily targeted player in the portal. It's always murky around the third year/junior listing for who has or hasn't gotten a degree yet so I can't weigh in about the academic side of things, but we do know NU has been recruiting him so that is worthwhile to add to the tracker for us.

Pete Nance Update

I don't really follow the NBA, can anyone explain to me the Pistons minutes in that game? By which I mean they had 8 guys off the bench and most of them had about 20 minutes of play. One starter had 43 minutes and the next highest play only had 23. Is that kind of spread rotation normal these days? Also, 107 shots taken by the team, wow!

edit: nm, I see now it's just pre-playoffs tom foolery.

yay Pete!

In the sense that the booster clubs at certain schools have finally gotten their way, yes. I don't have a problem with compensating athletes that help produce great revenue for a school's athletic programs. There seem to be no limits, however.

Huh? Who/what do we watch performing on TV each weekend? The turf growing? Not sure, but I think it's the athletes.
Yes. The athletes are the ones with the unique skills.

But the conferences are the ones with most of the bargaining power. The scales are certainly shifting. Hard to say exactly where they will rebalance.
