Interesting. We are now technically oversigned by one for next year. That means either Hutson agreed to forego a scholarship his first year, like I speculated, or Porter suspects somebody will transfer to free up a scholarship.
I don't remember Porter pulling a Crean before. Looks like we're getting big time.
Or it's a Wisconsin redshirt situation. Would make sense for him to spend a year getting better behind Krutwig and Agunanne rather than spending his freshman year as one of 3 centers.
Regardless of how it plays out, great get. He had a Northwestern official visit scheduled and was receiving interest from Iowa in recent weeks.
I called out Dana Ford for scholarship shenanigans earlier this year, but I think he was up to 15 signed players (maybe 16?) at one point, so I don't think I'm a total hypocrite yet by agreeing that this is merely "interesting".
It would be great if a player were willing to redshirt, but it doesn't seem like that happens anymore. Guys use their redshirt year after transferring now.
