Greer wasted this season. He wasn’t ready because he wasn’t supposed to be ready.

If NU is desperate for bodies — and they are — they should find bodies who intended to play college ball next season.

Greer took one for the team this season, but it harmed his long term prospects.

100% agree. It’s like the opposite of redshirting. Bring in guys too young to compete physically and stamina wise.

Where? At this late date any player who could contribute at a B1G level, AND who might be interested in NU, is long gone. Easy to say go get one, much harder to actually do it.

The Lathon situation caused the reclassification. Getting new guys at this point, pickings are slim, especially with our academic restrictions. Maybe if a HC gets fired.... But again, they have to meet our academic criteria and that is a tough task at this point. We are probably looking at transfers this late.

Of course it’s tough. But they’re not building for 2019-20. NU will be worse than NU should have been due to Greer’s selfless move.

Unsigned MAC commits that NU should contact:
Ben Wight, 6-8 210 PF, Ohio U
Caleb Hodgson, 6-10 225 C, CMU

There are no other unsigned post players in the MAC, as far as I can tell.

Don’t look now, but many of those transfers have already picked a destination.
