Lol.

The very sad part is these young men are getting bad advice. In some ways it is a tragedy.

I can not find statistics but I wonder what the graduation rates are with kids who transfer once, and twice, and three times.

Whether its NU or any other school. I have no idea how you can even follow these teams. There will be no more records broken, no more stars, no more legends. Just a bunch of one year wonders. Totally forgettable, unmemorable teams, players, years, games, etc.

For schools like NU that rely so heavily on "history" there will be no more of that. Every record at NU will never be broken again. There will never again be kids like Juan Mendez or so many others who helped elevate the program on campus but also off campus.

No one even cares about the players. Their advisors certainly don't, the school really doesn't, most of all the fans dont.

It is over guys.
All of it. It's done.

I suggest a path for the future is making any new recruit sign a contract for employment and scholarships. . Why not? It works in business.

Not sure you could get a kid to sign a contract committing himself for 4 years...makes sense but probably wouldn't work.

Not sure DI basketball as we've known it is done for good...I know things look bad now but the portal pendulum may swing back the other way once the herds heading for the exits realize they can't all upgrade their positions...it's a game of musical chairs and many, many hundreds of transferring players are losing the game.
