Four-star, Top 50 forward Pete Nance is in Evanston for his official today
- Thread starter lou v
- Start date
While I think NU has a pretty darn good shot with Nance, I doubt he makes any decision before his official to Michigan (scheduled for this coming weekend).
One of a handful of things that have broken NU's way in terms of Nance's recruitment -- recent PG commit, staff turnover at OSU, etc.
Nobal Days has visited NU at least twice (36 seconds in he says he just visited NU).
Comes off as an awesome kid in interview.

Love the behind-the-back dribble and shimmy shake. He wants to be a point Guard! Collins can help him!!
I went to his high school many, many moons ago. The talent pool for Revere is very, very shallow......
Even so, Nance shows pretty remarkable handles for 6'8" power forward. His soft skills are top notch. Get him in the gym and have him eat a bunch and he'll be a really exceptional player. Nobal looks like he's a decent ball handler, too. Lathon at 6'4" with these two guys at 6'8"/9" would produce height mismatches everywhere!
Wasn't a knock on Nance. Just sayin' that his surrounding cast prolly isn't too strong and if he played a little PG it was cause he had to.....
He'd be an awesome pickup (great size), but I don't think he has any eligibility left.
His coach said he could play point in high school so I could post it and its not FAKE NEWS.
How many scholarships will be available in 19'? Anybody know? Will Pardon's eligibility be used since he burned his redshirt his frosh year? I assume we'll need a center or two in the next couple years. What are we going to do for Lathon's backup?
There will be at least 3 players losing eligibility: Ash, Law, and Pardon. Turner and Falzon will be 5th year redshirts/transfers. Brown, Rap, Benson and Gaines are the other returning scholarship players. Assuming Lathon signs, NU will have 7 scholarship players, and can sign 6 more players in 2018-19. Best guess is that NU will have 4 available in 2019, with 3 commits total in 2018.

I know CCC got a nice extension and all, but I think it's okay if he focuses a little bit more on the present.
By then we'll be going the one-and-done route, so apples to oranges...
Nance has been described by some as a "point-forward" - with his slimmer build, kinda see Nance being more the heir-apparent to Law at the 3 than the 4, despite being listed as a PF by most.
If the 'Cats also land THT, altho shorter, with his stockier frame may be more suited at the 4.
But CC's system is pretty flexible.
