[NU Sports] basketball?

[Roy Lamberton]

You go Scott.

I tend to agree, but I've been burned by NU roundball before.

I'm going to save these posts so I an do an "I told you so" this winter. I
don't think we have *ever* had a recruiting class like the one that just
came in this fall. They will not be stiffs. And unlike football, in hoops,
freshmen can make a monster impact (see OSU making the National Championship
game two years ago on what was basically a freshman team). Look for this
season to be one of the most fun times for Northwestern b-ball since riding
the el in 1983. And it will only get better after that.
