[NU Sports] More bad basketball

[Jonathan Hodges]

Napoleon Harris actually played a year of basketball at NU, although he
dropped that to focus on football in his later years.

I would not agree that NU needs football players to play basketball as well
- I would much rather see a step up in basketball recruiting than
essentially taking talent away from football.
