It kind of stings for the B1G teams, but NU probably views him as a luxury for the team that's already supposed to go deep in the tournament next year. U of I recovered nicely getting a commit for Mark Smith. Thankfully, DePaul continues to stay in it's own way.

I think it could coincide with 2 years' worth of Custer last stands. Both him and Townes will probably be eligible to transfer and play immediately, but there are plenty of things that will factor into that decision that will still be hashed out over the course of the next 10 or 11 months. Even keeping those guys though, we still will have 4 scholarships to fill, and (although this is starting to bleed into the other thread's territory) I think the Aussie kid would be a 2018 prospect for us. Despite facing a lesser culture/language transition than some of our other international players, he could benefit from a year at prep school. It might not be the 3 miles between Sunrise Christian and WSU, but La Lumiere wouldn't be a terrible option to place a couple of kids.
