“They lose five guys this year so this incoming class is going to be an instrumental piece to the puzzle as is the current freshman class.”
Law, Pardon, Ash, and Taylor I know about. Who is the 5th?? Probably Charlie who is in his 4th year although only a Jr. eligibility wise......

Considering thaqt some think Nance is 7' tall, many teams run a 2 G & 3 F lineup, seems that Kopp (at the 3), Beran (at the 4) and Nance (at the 5) is easily doable in post Pardon days. If we can only shed the NU curse of injuries, transfer and disappointment.
Two 6-9 players to go with 6-10 Nance, 6-7 Kopp, 6-10 Young as well as Benson for one year ...
Dang!
Congrats to Robbie and his family! Welcome to NU!
Northwestern Basketball does not rebuild. It simply reloads!

According to 247, Beran is the highest rated recruit. Ever. At NU.
Imagine if the new gym had 10,000 seats.......
He probably means that the class will be five guys (ideally). Remember, NU has an unused scholarship slot this year — would have been Mooney’s if he wanted it.
In theory, we could decline a fifth year to Falzon and/or Turner. The only foreseeable ways that happens would be 1) Either suffers a serious injury that raises questions for their future or 2) We get in the game for a one-and-done type recruit.
Declining a fifth year to Turner would likely be pretty devastating for us on the transfer market, which like it or not is a major source of talent and will be for the foreseeable future. The only way Turner's not playing here for two seasons is if he doesn't want to (or can't and bows out, for whatever reason that could be).
You will need a banger in the B1G to protect the rim. Jones looks like he could be that guy. Jones needs refinement on offense, but he should help us on defense right away. Buie doesn’t have the offer list of Jones or Beran, but by all accounts he made great progress in the last year and he comes from good stock. Maceo announces on Thursday. Looks to me like an Anthony Gaines type if we land him. Either Buie or Greer have to be the guy for at least a year.
I don't think Charlie has a scholly. I think there was an open slot that was created when Rap left
Does that limit our interest in the Turkish Ticket? Talk about going from the Outhouse (with no commits late in the year) to the Penthouse in about a week. Would ideally we take 5 in this class or would it be better to take 4 and a 5th year senior to balance classes?
What about Roddy? Could he be that banger, enforcer, glue type guy like Sanjay? Love that football mentality.
To me, The Turkish Ticket seems a bit redundant to Beran. Although not rated as highly, I think Roddy fits better with what we have and don’t have. It will be tough getting Roddy away from home State Minny.
Many of us were raving about the 2018 class before the unforeseen departure of Lathon. It's still a very good class with Nance, Kopp, Greer, and Young.
The 2019 class could be equally good with Beran, Jones, and Buie this far.
I like the growth trajectory of Beran, both physically and skill-wise. He also could've played the recruiting game but chose not to. From a recent article: "Florida and Kansas recently tried to get involved with Beran's recruitment, but he opted to move forward with these three finalists."

I think he's another high academic kid. The message about NU bball is starting to get through.
It's a good-to-excellent class as is, which seems to be the new normal for NU bball. Each year, at least one recruit who ranks top five in all time NU recruits.
The other new normal is the Summer posts that Collins isn't cutting it on recruiting and if he doesn't kill it next year it's a total disaster and we should just raze Welsh Ryan. But that's basically three guys upset that NU no longer defends with a 1-3-1.
