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.
