NU is still in the running for a top 60 recruit in Savion Flagg. They are in the running for 4 star players in Eastern, Nwora, and 3 star Gaines that we know of. There are others that have offers that we do not know of. So your wild speculation for five year transfer is premature and overlooks all the hard work Collins, Baldwin, Gates and James have down with recruits with offers and is not based on the current situation NU is in. NU is still on its plan A guys even if one of the guys with an offer has a last name of Carmody. So let's play it out. Goodwin was the only real loss and he was swayed by the hiring of his AAU coach and NU was right there before that. How could NU's coaching staff have known that a desperate Coach in old UK player Travis Ford was willing to do whatever is necessary to get a top 50 recruit at St Louis? That means that if Ford fails at StLouis he is not headed back to coach a big conference school. Also, the track record of 6'2" tweeners whose games are based on power is not great in playing in a power conference like the Big 10.
