As the school year winds down, the recruiting news slowly starts to eke in.
It seems NU has scored a major coup with the signing of Austin Cooley from D.C.
He is reputed ot be a player who could have been recruited at the higher NCAA levels and can contribute as a freshman, although I'm hoping we don't need him to.
With Anthony Nelson and Ty Lewis, we have our backcourt, Big Ben will play the middle and it looks as if Rob Garrison and Bilal Benn will play off guard/wing. This leaves us shorthanded under the boards, with the hopes that redshirting Kashief Edwards turns out to give him the time he needed to make an impact in the MAAC. If so, that, with the addition of Cooley gives us a very solid 7 player rotation, although more depth can certainly be welcomed under the basket.
We do have another recruit, Eric Williams, a 6'7" player from Canada coming in, but need a bigger body, ready to play immediately.
Two schlarships are left and the hopes are that one goes to a big guy from a JC!
