Does anybody actually believe that Northwestern spurned E’Twaun Moore?

Well, if NU were for some reason cheating, don’t you think they would get out-cheated by a bigger name? I mean, come on, we all know that there are teams and coaches out there willing to give kids money and everything else. Let’s say Northwestern is cheating and is offering these kids some money. Do you seriously not think that this kid could go to ten other schools and say, hey, NU will give me this much and a job for my uncle, what’s your offer. It’s sad but true. I mean, what, Carmody is texting the kids out of season? No matter how much they cheated, someone else would land him if the kid were only looking for a deal he can get.

i don’t think anyone doubts NU will be dangerous, i think people doubt they’ll be 9-9

Northwestern is the cleanest program in the country (in my opinion)

They’re my second favorite team just because they do things right and get a LOT out of their players – both in football and in basketball.

I know a guy on the football team, they have pretty strict rules. Curfews, parties, pictures posted on facebook, classroom attendance, grades, etc etc etc is all closely watched. They arent dictators or control freaks – but they want their kids to excel in life and really lead them in the right direction with great guidance.

No way N’western is cheating to go after 1 kid. That’d just be stupid.

And I think N’western is going to mess some teams up in the big ten this year by beating them when they’re not “supposed to”

It seems weird, Bill, but can you think of a team in the NCAA less likely to cheat than NWestern? I’m sure the AD breathes down every coach’s neck at that school.

p.s. Re: the undefeated thing. I was only being half sarcastic. I think a lot of the rosey outlooks are realistic. Obviously, I was speaking in hyperbole, but the Big Ten should be the best conference in Basketball and I really hope we see a lot, a lot of teams go dancing. I’ve said it before, this is the year we finally ake the ACC down in the challenge. Book it.

That is good to know that 8 teams went .500 or better last year, I didn’t think it was that many but knew it was close. But the Big Ten will be even more competitive this year and Indiana is going to get some wins so there will be more like 6 teams this year with .500 or better in my opinion and NW isn’t one of them. UM, MSU, Purdue, OSU, ILL, and MINN, if i had to guess.

If Northwestern signs any top 30 recruits, can we agree that they are cheating in recruiting? I mean, come on. What do you pitch to a top 30 high school basketball player that makes them go to Northwestern? The only draw is academics and there’s plenty of comparable academic schools that have legitimate basketball programs (Duke, UNC, Stanford, Michigan, etc.)

Find it hard to believe that NW can ever pull in recruits of that caliber.
