Content supplies are critically low. BTN had some Northwestern memories on deck a few days back. They were extremely Northwestern.

More on Eastern. Brendan Quinn has an article on a whirlwind couple of days in the portal:

According to a source, Eastern and Michigan coach Juwan Howard spoke on Wednesday night.

By Thursday morning, Eastern’s decision was made.

He confirms that Eastern is not immediately eligible, which may be for the best. A year off for Eastern to attend the Zavier Simpson School Of Adequate When Unguarded Shooting could make his year at Michigan more productive. Meanwhile the 2021-22 roster will lose Smith, Brooks, Livers, and maybe Wagner.

That team is likely to be very young, and if Howard is able to secure a big-timer next year Eastern fits more neatly next to a high-usage teammate. Purdue was able to paper over his offensive deficiencies when Carsen Edwards was around; not so much after Edwards left for the NBA. Edwards's ORTG against Tier A and B opponents (top 100 adjusted for location) dropped from 110 his sophomore year to 85 his junior year. There's a reasonably efficient low-usage offensive player in Eastern if he's in the right context. That is admittedly a narrow one.

In other transfer news, Michigan is not listed amongst the schools who have reached out to sit-out Georgetown transfer Mac McClung.
