    Jared Jones

    I agree that it is surprising to see that so many big name programs have contacted Jones. For programs with a solid NIL foundation, it feels like teams composed entirely of transfers is the way of the future. Why recruit unproven high school kids when you can assemble a team of 21 and...

    Jared Jones

    In a blast from the (recent) past, Jared Jones, who played at NU in 2019-20 and then went to Middle Tennessee State, is in the portal. I remembered him as barely playing at NU but then looked up his stats and he played 31 games that year and averaged 10 mpg (so only a little less than Luke...

    Reported Portal Visit: Fairfield PG Jalen Leach

    I think he is more of a shooting guard, so I'm guessing the coaches are looking at him as a potential Langborg replacement. In looking at Leach's career stats, he didn't start at Fairfield until his junior year and only averaged 6.1 ppg that year. He then blew up last year and increased his...

    All I know is

    I think Purdue and Illinois’ success in the tourney is pretty good evidence that a full-strength NU team with Berry and Nicholson could have had a nice run.

    Portal update

    A couple of starting PGs from the ACC are in the portal: Sean Pedulla from Virginia Tech and Kevin Miller (who is from Chicago) from Wake Forest

    Portal update

    Reed is definitely a starter wherever he ends up, but the other two big men (Ajogbor and Nwoko) are more in line with Verhoeven and Preston in providing depth. Ajogbor (who I think we offered out of high school) has been pretty average at Harvard and Nwoko barely played at Miami. Interesting...

    Season Recap

    I agree that this team goes down as the best ever at NU AND the one with the most potential. I can't get over how close we were to having an even better season if we won a couple more close games and Berry and Nicholson stayed healthy. We got blown out by Illinois but our other seven Big 10...

    The Big Ten's All Transfer Team

    I wonder if we're getting close to a time when coaches, particularly those without stricter academic requirements like at NU, don't even recruit high school players. It makes a lot more sense to exclusively recruit transfers who have proven they can play at the college level rather than risk a...

    One of the most impressive things about this year's team

    Because of all of those close losses, we were incredibly close to a magical 15-5 or 16-4 type season in the Big 10. But 12-8 (and tied for third) is still a fantastic achievement, especially considering the injuries. And it resulted in a tourney berth which is the main thing and something not to...

    KJ Windham’s Indy-Ben Davis in state quarterfinals

    So how does Windham project in college? Is he more of a shooter or driver? It sounds like he’s not a PG but is only 6’2” which is not big as a major college off guard. I don’t think he’s a big scorer in high school (most game recaps I’ve read have him scoring around 10 points) but haven’t seen...

    NC State v UVA

    It reminded me of when NU lost at Rutgers after being up 6 with a minute left and Scottie Lindsey (a close to 90% foul shooter) with a 1-and-1. He missed the front end, Rutgers hit a 3 and got fouled on another (and hit all 3 FTs) and we lost in overtime. But UVA’s loss was even more brutal...

    Women's Team

    The recruiting has already fallen off pretty dramatically in recent years from when we were regularly getting top 100 (and even top 50) commits.

    Women's Team

    Since nothing has been announced yet (though that might not mean anything under Gragg), it looks like McKeown will keep his job. His contract is through next season but I thought this might be his final year based on performance (consecutive 9-21 records) and health (he missed several games this...

    My one disappointment about this year

    With major caveats that every team can play the “what if” game and we also have had close games go our way, we are two end-game Boo misses (the runner against Purdue and the almost and-1 against Minnesota) away from 12-4 in conference and probably ranked around 15th.

    Baseball Revival in 2024?

    Major improvement from last year simply because all of the assistant coaches didn’t quit after the first weekend.
