That’s pretty crazy. If he had gone to NU and stayed, he would have had a pretty good shot to take over for Boo and would have contributed this year on a tourney team. He has made a mess of his college career. He’s not playing in the pro’s so 3 schools in 3 years can’t be great from a an educational perspective either. When he decommitted, he should have just said that he wanted to see the country.
I think we want someone with more experience. And he screwed us over so I don’t think Collins is interested.
Look at you, NJCat, thinking there's still rules. How cute.
Is he even good enough for us? I’d rather give Angelo minutes than Broomstick.
I get that his decommitment was a poke in the eye for Collins. But the hoops world is changing. So far, not having him hasn't hurt NU, he would have had few minutes behind Boo. We all bemoan the academic requirements NU has, so when someone who can play has been accepted it seems logical to reach out.
I wouldn't with the way he did it.
So if we're keeping score, we have NU decommit, Texas redshirt year, Georgetown for one year where he started 20 games. Maybe he thought he was going to be recruited over with a 4-star guard coming in? I wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole.
Angelo is a wing. He will not be running the offense. And I am not sure how much he will even play next year.
Incoming undergrad transfers must earn half of their credits at Northwestern to get a degree.
Hopefully we find someone better than both of them. I have not seen Brown play but he shot below 30 percent from 3. I am not sure we will have enough offense next year to have a poor shooting lead guard.
I've thought about that a couple of times, because you can interpret it as we could get a dude with 2 years of school. But then our non graduate transfers, Audige and Mullins, had only been in school for 1 year.
Also, he had okay numbers on a terrrrrrible team. NU can get many players better than him.
I watched Rowan play in person against St. Johns. He would have been a really strong option to take over for Boo had he stayed. He can get to the hoop and create his own shot. Collins may still be salty over the decommit and that's fine but Roawan would absolutely help the team next year and get 25+ minutes.
Certainly if he had stayed and next year was his 3rd year in the program he would have been a great option. He would know the system, have improved his defense and spelled Buie this year. And filled in when Berry and Langborg were out. It was a bad decision for everybody.
AJ Turner transferred in after completing 2 years at Boston College.
It does not matter if anyone here wants or does not want him. Only matters if Collins and company feel one way or the other about him
Actually NU admissions may not allow him to transfer in, so Collins may also have no say.
So you think Flynn Nagel shouldn't have had a scholarship at NU because he flipped his commitment from Duke to NU on signing day? Did he "lack character"? Or Nick Martinelli, who flipped from Elon?
Number of changes is the issue. There are 3 for Brumbaugh: 1) NU to Texas 2) Texas to GT 3) GT to ?
Nagel committed to Duke after Fitzgerald told him that his recruiting class was full and there wasn't a scholarship for Nagel. NU was Nagel's first choice. When somebody de-committed, Fitz offered Nagel the open scholarship and he switched. Not ideal, but completely reasonable.
Scottie Lindsay could be added as an example.
Completely - Bringing him in now would make our now-credible story about character and toughness ring hollow. He ran away because he didn't believe we could win, and obviously he didn't see himself as a guy who could change that history. We are defined by Boo's leadership - a decision to stick with NU in the darkest of times and bet on himself (along with his team-mates) to turn the program around. Entertaining Broomberb as a possible transfer flys completely in the face of the culture and character this team has established. That culture - and the hard work that came out of it - is the main reason we have become a winning program
