I’m sorry to hear that Moore’s parents have been sick. I’m glad he will be getting a waiver, and it would be great for him and for NU if he chooses to be very close to home.
In an ideal world, I think, NU gets Charlie Moore (immediately eligible, 2 years), Javon Freeman (has to sit, but has 3 years), either Pat Andree or Justin Pierce (grad transfer wing/stretch 4) and Joey Brunk (grad transfer Big). That leaves the depth chart looking like this:
Lead guard: Moore, Buie, Greer (Freeman)
Wing 1: Gaines or Turner
Wing 2: Kopp or Beran
Stretch 4: Andree/Pierce or Nance
Big: Brunk, Young, Jones
That would leave just three guaranteed scholarship holes for the following class, with Turner, Andree/Pierce and Brunk not returning. Maybe Greer or Buie transfer too, who knows.
That’s not an awful lineup. I’m really getting my hopes up on Charlie Moore especially, in part because he would slot in as a junior and balance out a class that right now only includes Gaines.
