I've got family in Seattle and Little Smelly is looking at colleges, so we're going to U-Dub in September. Anybody else making the trip?

Gavin Mueller (no relation as far as I can tell) out of St. Francis HS camped at NU today. Looks to be all of 6’6”. I’d expect an NU offer as long as grades are in order. Already holds offers from Cincy, Indiana, Minnesota and Purdue.

Ok, Collins offers 2 centers and lands a commit from NU grad Wendy Mitchell's son (his dad played at Illinois, was an NBA lottery pick by the Hornets, and now works in studio for the Bulls but we all know he learned everything from his NU grad mom). Here's the list of self-reported offers from X, verbal commits has not caught up with the center offers:

We got us a commit:

Phoenix Gill - Chicago (6'3) (I'm giving him the extra inch now)

Most recent offers:

Matthew Able - From his X page - 6”5 guard 3.8 gpa Sagemont Prep, 1300 SAT
Tommy Ahneman - C - West Fargo, North Dakota (6'11)

Phoenix Gill from Chicago (Ill.) St. Ignatius announced his commitment to the Wildcats today on social media. The three-star guard is the son of Illinois legend and NBA player Kendall Gill.

Interesting development according to Mike Florio. 70 fixed spots, 10 schools subject to relegation each year. No more Conferences, just Divisions like the NFL.

Thoughts?


There is also an article in The Atletic that speculates on the divisions:

He replaces Talor Battle.
