    Story: Tre Singleton to the portal

    All depends on what we end up with on the roster. If we only shop on the bargin basement aisle then next year is going to be beyond bad They should change the timing on ticket renewals so people can make a better decision based on the roster each year

    Page status?

    Transplant the energy of Fitzmorris into his body and he’d be All Big 10. One of the most confounding players to ever suit up in the purple.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Minnesota

    Without Nick this team would be epically terrible

    Northwestern embarrassed by No. 5 Illinois, 84-44

    I’d say Gill is little more than a walk-on level talent who has a scholarship at this point

    Northwestern embarrassed by No. 5 Illinois, 84-44

    How can he possibly be a worse shooter from deep than Green? At least KJ showed at the end of last year he is capable of scoring from beyond the arc on a somewhat consistent basis. I’m not saying he should start, but it’s pretty wild that he can’t even get on the floor some nights on a team...

    Northwestern embarrassed by No. 5 Illinois, 84-44

    Can anybody explain why KJ basically hasn’t been playing at all and then suddenly when we are down 45 points or so he’s out there? I figured maybe he told CC he was going to transfer and don’t play me, so was shocked when I saw him on the floor. Makes zero sense. Especially on a team that...

    Lack of Successful Recruiting Classes

    Yep. Frosh class looks like it could be a good one, but you aren’t going to win in the Big 10 with freshmen playing lots of minutes. Had hopes for Angelo and KJ to make leaps this year, but KJ is glued to the bench most games.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Minnesota

    That would be poor coaching then. He’s obviously a decent 3 pt guy when it’s within the offense and it’s not like we have lots of great outside shooters. Just seems really strange. Like CC is trying to run him off- I can’t imagine any way he doesn’t transfer after the season unless he just...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Minnesota

    He may have knowledge of the sets, but he’s largely an offensive black hole. I’m puzzled as to why KJ often isn’t even part of the rotation

    Same story every game

    How come KJ never gets any minutes?

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Ohio State

    At least be consistent and call the game the same at both ends of the floor. Tired of watching NM get hacked with no call and then an opposing player get a trip to the line for being breathed on heavily. Was a little surprised CC wasn’t in the ear of the refs more

    2025 Transfer Class

    I think the actual “trade” dynamics are more along the line of Page, Green, Reid for as much of Brooks, MN, Berry, Leach as possible We have a great frosh class coming in, but it’s very hard to win in the Big 10 with them needing to be producers from the get go. The 3 new transfers give us...

    Funding Freeze at NU

    Have a hard time believing this is about antisemitism. That’s the excuse . It’s more about throwing red meat to his MAGA supporters and wanting certain leaders or groups to kiss the ring… Other countries are already recruiting researchers to move to their borders. If America wants to be a...

    How about a D1 hockey program

    It has always made me wonder why NU or Illinois don’t have hockey with all the talent in the Chicagoland area. At one time I believe the state was around 5th in producing college players, but they all obviously head elsewhere. Sounded like Illinois was close to announcing they were building...

    Will Chris Collins stay at Northwestern?

    What he did this year despite the injuries is why he should be extended yesterday. He’s finally built the program/culture he wants at NU and is starting to recruit on a higher level. Seems like a no brainer unless he just doesn’t want to be here
