    Mart in the NBA

    I wonder if he'd qualify for Italian passport by descent. He likely could get a roster spot there as an American - but having the Italian passport would relieve one less barrier.

    NCAA basketball tournaments set to move to 76 teams

    It probably matters more to the NCAA that the power conferences aligned to demonstrate how they could run their own tournament in partnership with FOX Sports.

    NCAA basketball tournaments set to move to 76 teams

    When the tournament expanded from 64 to 68, there were 317 D1 teams - that's 21.4% of teams participating in the knockout tourney. There are now 363 D1 teams, which means 78 teams in spans 20.9%. Again, I'm not celebrating expansion, but I'm not going to rant and rave like Jay Williams and...

    OK, JAKE!

    Trying to recall the last NU PG that could pull this off. He's already shown his facilitator skills, but I think we're sleeping on Jake's athleticism, y'all. I'm excited about his potential jump in Y2.

    Dirty Dusty May

    To be fair, if you had to add a few college coaches to a search, he'd be among the ones I'd consider adding, so you're not too far off.

    Five for Five rule being passed?

    Good grief! As if the transfer portal wasn't challenging enough. There's now a prospect of a whole bunch of seniors possibly being eligible to complete a 5th season?!

    Transfer guard LA Pratt is Northwestern's second Friday commitment

    I dig it. We haven't had a love-inspired moniker for a player since Jitim Young (whose name was inspired by the phrase Je'taime, "I love you" in French.)

    Transfer guard LA Pratt is Northwestern's second Friday commitment

    Nice LA Pratt highlight reel during his Northeastern time - includes him blowing by Brooks on a drive.

    First Transfer - Jack Karasinski

    I rewatched Karaskinski's highlight reel again, and noticed while he can bang inside - he also hit catch and shoot 3s. (This also stood out in Colin Smith's makes tape, he was pretty much all CAS3.). I then re-watched Max Green's makes reel from his frosh year at Holy Cross, and his made 3s...

    Seth Davis & Andy Katz interview Dan Poneman on NIL

    Evanston's own Dan Poneman talking about NIL. I didn't realize that schools could do multi year contracts with buyouts.

    First Transfer - Jack Karasinski

    . I don't think it's fair to expect him to replace Nick's numbers, but he's got experience in being high usage and highly efficient. I wouldn't lean on him being a defender, so Collins gotta fill out that roster with some more ballhawks.

    Story: Tre Singleton to the portal

    At least in European club soccer, there are transfer fees built into transactions. That way if you're a "development club" you're at least rewarded for your efforts.

    Northwestern set to host top transfer target Jake Fiegen

    I'm good with NU working stealthily to recruit the portal. I just think we know more about Fiegen because of his Wilmette roots. However, here's one that got outreached - He looks like a grad transfer, given he's already logged 4 years of ball - so that aligns with NU policy. He also was...
