Players in the portal...
AJ Storr. Wisconsin departee supposedly will go to Illinois.
Connor Essegian - Wisconsin departee who lost his spot in rotation because of Storr.
Christian Reeves - Duke 7'1" sophomore center who couldn't get past Ryan Young on the depth chart.
Cliff Omoruyi - leaving Rutgers just as top backcourt recruits arrive.
Vladislav Goldin and Johnell Davis - leaving FAU because their coach took the Michigan job.
Tony Perkins - leaving Iowa to get paid as a grad student.

Dug McDaniel - leaves Michigan after academic issues and a coaching change.
Skyy Clark - leaves Louisville one year after leaving Illinois.
Saint Thomas - Leaves North Colorado a year after leaving Loyola. With that name, he probably should have stayed at Loyola.

Malik Mack - current Harvard freshman guard. Ivy League freshman of the year.
Dain Dainja - that didn't take long. Illinois center lost ground this season after initially with Baylor.
Clark Slajchert - Penn point guard, grad transfer. 2nd team All Ivy League.
Sincere Parker - leaving Saint Louis University. A phenomenal scorer. Not academically up to NU reqs.

I focused on Big Ten players, grad transfers and young players from academic schools.
The latter two categories should be 90% of our focus.
Bronny James is in the portal.
6-2 shooting guard. Disappointed as a top 30 recruit in his first year at USC. Will enter the draft as well, but unlikely to stay in as his stock fell.
Good bloodlines. Even better than that Kirkpatrick guy.
Not in need of a big NIL bag.
Funny name.

I gagged at the reference to Bill Carmody. I’d say based on this association he really isn’t a fit.
Think he will get a pass on his first year given his heart trouble.
Rumored to be heading to Duquesne where his father’s teammate is now coaching having succeeded LBJ’s HS coach.
That or Ohio State, though Duquesne has a more recent tourney appearance. Probably a good fit for him to shine and dominate though that didn’t really work out for PBJ Jr.
The A-10 is a very solid league, it was 8th in KenPom this year behind the power 6 and Mountain West. So he’d be in a much more competitive situation than PBJ was in the Horizon, which is well into the bottom half of the 32 conferences. I don’t think Bronny would dominate the league but it would probably be an easier spot to develop than the B1G.
Well, he's a year too late for Duquesne. Dambrot is retiring.
True. However, LeBron is even closer with the new Duquesne head coach Dru Joyce. So close, it was LeBron who announced Joyce getting the job.
Will be interesting to see if Bronny makes a decision based on development… or based on where the cutest girls are in the meantime. He’s already a very rich, athletic young man with a famous name, easy to get distracted.
"Penn transfer guard Clark Slajchert has narrowed his list of schools down to eight, a source told On3. Moving forward, the 6-foot-1 senior will consider USC, UCLA, Cal, Utah State, San Francisco, Stanford, Davidson, and Michigan."
This is disappointing. Thought he was our best option at a grad transfer point guard.
Also two centers - Danny Wolf from Yale and Vlad Goldin from FAU - are both supposedly putting Michigan first on their list. Doesn't really make sense that they'd get both, but who knows.

This is a head scratcher…that list of schools leads me to believe NU was not heavily involved or backed off. Utah State, San Francisco and Davidson over NU? Something doesn’t add up here.
Yeah well you missed what I said - LBJ’s teammate from HS is taking over. So not too late at all
I’m guessing Collins is looking elsewhere, in spite of all the experts on WR.
Avila and Kent are both Chicago-area guys, played togehter at Oak Forest HS. Would be fun at NU.
I thought someone posted it earlier. But for frame of reference on timing, here is when last year's group committed:
- Preston: April 16
- Mullins: April 17
- Langborg: April 23
- Preston: April 16
- Mullins: April 17
- Langborg: April 23
I've seen him play a lot.
He needs teammates who can find him when he gets open out at the arc.
Very quick release and pretty good shooter. I've seen him when he's on fire and when he is terrible.
But, I would be hesitant based on his defense. He's not very athletic and (I suspect) would get bullied in the Big Ten.
Does anyone know how competitive we are on NIL - or not? One would think Berry could get some good offers, as could Barny - so we must have a reasonable pot.. And, the recent funding for football and BB facilities is beyond rich. I'm not sure how to square that with talk (on this board) that other schools have far more money to play with.
We’ve got reports that Boo got, what was it, $300-500 K with Chase getting offered a little less than that? That would imply we could offer all the seniors at least $250k, probably more.
That dude already looked old when he first got to Purdue. He looks about 40 now.
Did he even see the floor in the final four?
If you can provide a link to a news article or anything, that would be helpful.
I have never seen or read anything about NU NIL resources.
Of course, I'm not on the Rock.
Where have you read about ANY specific players and the NIL amounts they make?
Is it dumb to imagine that Mark Mitchell of Duke might be interested in NU? Two-year starter, but in the portal as Duke brings in a heap of one-and-dones.
Pure coincidence: He went to Sunrise Christian. Would have been three years behind Ty Berry, so perhaps they played together when Mitchell was a freshman.
Based on numbers, more of a four than a three, but could certainly hold down the post in small lineups and Barnhizer is a more natural 3 than 4 anyway.
(Yes, it’s dumb, I realize.)

I don’t think this is dumb at all. We’ve gotten Duke guys in the past. Michael Thompson, the center, way back was the one that comes to mind. If Mitchell is an education-first guy I could absolutely see him come to NU as our “4” man to roll Brooks down to the “3.”
Good point. Forgot all about that!Don’t think he wants to play for a team that constantly chanted “ DUI, DUI,DUI”
