100% correct. Collins has slowly built NU basketball into a legitimate program-which entails having some depth. With an incoming group of 5 solid recruits next year, the trend toward depth looks to continue. Kudos to Collins.
Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever seen an NU hoops player analyzed this much! I’ll throw in my 2 cents. I think Matt has all the physical tools to be a scorer-with back to basket and even dribble drive to the hoop. If you have watched him enough you’ve seen the-admittedly rare-occasion when he’s had...
Btw-no one on the BTN broadcasts mentions this-but Martinelli had only one other offer besides NU…Elon. Kudos to Collins and staff for seeing his potential.
I still find it odd that Gronowski didn’t seem interested in reconnecting with Lujan by coming to NU. Should that tell us something about Lujan? Or was Gronowski still undecided about entering the portal when Stone became available? I suppose we’ll never know.
I agree completely. In a weird way, I think it would help Ty Berry as well, since I don’t think he thrives with pressure being on him. Perhaps knowing that somebody else is being counted on for scoring will actually enhance his game.
Let’s remember-we had to go to OT to beat the worst team in the Big Ten. The chance of us picking up a W against three legit B10 teams will require LOTS of hope.
