Things that I notice:

No weights for the newcomers.

Buie will wear #0 and officially go by BOO. Respect.

Jones wears #4, weird for a post-type but cool for a Vic Law-type. He’s listed at 6-10, which is bigger than I thought.

Beran should be better than Davor Duvancic, who was also 6-9 and also wore #31.

The walk-on guards were issued #53, #54, and #55, though not in a Shawnta Rogers/Muggsy Bogues/Earl Boykins way.

Seven scholarship guys who are from or attended high/prep school in Northeast — Buie (NY/ME), Audige (NY/PA), Greer (MA/GA), Gaines (NY/NH), Spencer (MD), Young (NJ/PA), Turner (NH/MI).

Also, six guys whose home and school state differ. That’s commitment.

Spencer goes by PAT and wears #12. Wonder if he’s learned yet that Evanston is Paddy country. I was hoping for Paddy.

Apologies if this has been mentioned previously. I just saw it for the first time, and we need some serious debate over fake heights.

Jones self reported he had grown to 6-10. Uber and I spent some personal time with Nance and Kopp and others last year. I think they round up at nusports in reporting their heights. Is Nance listed at 6-10? Link didn’t work for me. If so, he too has grown. At least enough for the rounder uppers.

Yep, Nance, Jones and Young are all listed at 6’10”.

We appear to have fixed our shortage of guards. Nine out of fifteen of NU's player's are listed as guards. It would seem to me that having 60% of your roster as guards is a bit out of whack. (Even with one transfer guard ineligible to play this year.)

Considering only four of the listed guards are eligible and on scholarship this year, ah no, we haven't fixed the guard problem.
