4-STAR FORWARD PETE NANCE COMMITS TO NU!

[Deeringfish]

Getting used to it indeed. The last 5 players to commit are/were all Top 150 players.

Nance
Lathon
Turner
Gaines
Ivanauskas

A recipe for continued depth and success.

That is quite a run

Might have helped Mirko ... but Rowley was a lost cause ... great body ... plenty athletic enough for his size ... but zero understanding of or feel for the game.

I think even Rowley would have been helped by someone who knew how to coach Bigs. BC and company did not.

Congratulations, Coach Collins and team! Welcome, Pete Nance! And, are recruits getting younger...or am I getting older. Pete looks soooo young!

From the NU release on signing day: "Gaines is the top-rated recruit in New Hampshire according to ESPN.com and is a top-150 national recruit according to 247 Sports."

Doubtful.

Rowley spent 3 years at Saint Mary's which has a pretty good coaching staff and never really improved.

Who knows if Donlon's move to NU and UM picking up a Top 50 PF from under its in-state rival's noses (player grew up in East Lansing, but parents are UM fans) had a play in Nance picking the 'Cats, but doesn't matter - it's been a great week for hoops recruiting.

I suspect it was much more the latter than the former, but your conclusion is key: what a great week for NU hoops!
