Carmody out at Northwestern

[Da Coach]

Northwestern fired Head Coach Bill Carmody today. Reports are the top 2 targets to replace him are Chris Collins and Bryce Drew.

Interesting -
so Nate Taphorn isn't all that solid on Northwestern now that Carmody's been fired..
maybe we can hire Carmody as a post-grad assistant or academic coordinator??

There could even be more fallout - here's a story on several players - even including the best players currently at Northwestern - Crawford & Cobb - even wavering..

Drew Crawford - a one time BU recruit like Cobb - is going to be a post-grad student and could transfer & be immediately eligible
Alex Olah, their big man, would be a great addition and Geno knows him because he's from TPA

Northwestern's other TOP incoming recruit Jared Sina has already asked for his release...Nate Taphorn is still considering his options...

BTW - Northwestern's Drew Crawford may need an NCAA waiver to get one more season after his injury - as he appears to have played one game over the usual NCAA limit for redshirting

Nate Taphorn is not reopening his recruitment - but is open to change his mind -

Not interested I hope. Geno was high on him but I think we can do much better. IMO he missed his chance and I would have loved to have him at the time but that ship has sailed.

in a double OT game last night vs. Michigan - multiple Northwestern players were gassed - playing nearly 50 minutes,
yet Nate Taphorn got just 5 minutes of playing time -
while head coach Chris Collins played three freshmen - all somewhat similar players to Nate ( Vic Law (38 minutes), Bryant Mcintosh (27 minutes), and Scott Lindsey (17 minutes)) more than that....
I think Nate needs to find a place that would greatly appreciate his talent...

BTW - wanna laugh??

Here's a guy who says Northwestern is a dark horse to WIN IT ALL in the Big Ten Conference Tournament...and head to the NCAA!!

I will take that bet even at 1 to 1000!

I think that's a possibility
