Pete Nance declares.
- Thread starter NUera
- Start date
Doesn’t appear to be signing with an agent. Grateful for his degree. If he does go back to college
If he continues for another year in college, especially at The Fighting Undies, this board will melt down. Going to be fun.
He has his degree. If he believes that playing for a season somewhere that he'll go Dancing will improve his odds of being drafted, I certainly can't fault him.
I doubt he’ll be drafted so he should be looking to portal to a top 15 team next year and take a run at some good March exposure.
Does anyone else think that his post being branded NU with the purple color and Northwestern logo at the top next to the NBA logo insinuates that he would return to NU if he doesn't go into the draft?
Not me. I think the NU ship has sailed. I don't blame Pete for wanting to move on after getting his degree. Just about every other NU grad does something else after NU, why not Pete?
NU’s presence is pride in his degree and gratitude for his time in Evanston. Wherever he goes next, it’s for a bigger stage.
I said a few weeks back that I’d be shocked if he stayed at NU - it was pro or portal. After reading the post, my opinion has not changed.
You're probably right. Wishful thinking on my part, but it's honestly about the only hope I (and CCC) have to hold on to for next season to be even half decent. I think we should have a better idea by Monday as the deadline to enter the transfer portal is May 1, but he could still enter the portal, back out of the draft, and return to NU.

I didn’t realize there was a deadline. If players don’t enter the portal by May 1, they can’t transfer to another school and be eligible for next season? Does this apply to grad transfers as well?
Yep. I will never fault a player for choosing to go the grad transfer route. That is a totally different animal than transferring early.
Someone knowledgeable help me out here. If Pete doesn’t get drafted (Which I think is a definite possibility) can he return to any college? Even NU?
