I did not see any other reports that he took other official visits than to us.
That might not mean anything as he is close to Northwestern, NIU, UIC who also offered.
First big test for Coach Steele in the recruiting world at a mid-major.
Getting him on campus with his other offers in hand was huge.
A little additional research indicated that Nick also took visits to Furman and Northwestern.
This would indicate a theme that he is looking for a first class education in addition to the basketball opportunity.

I took our daughter to Furman for a visit. Boring. But looks like Miami with a bigger landscaping budget.

Agree. A lot of red brick. A big lake. However, it is very isolated unto itself. No uptown or any off campus activities unless you get in a car and drive a good distance.
I think it could get boring there pretty quick.

Def one of the nationās prettiest schools. Greenville has developed into quite of attraction nearby.

We live in southern NC mountains not far from Greenville and yes, Furman campus is beautiful, but just outside the campus gates is a pretty run down semi -rural part of town. Canāt even come close to comparing with Miami and Oxford uptown adjoining.

Committed to Northwestern
Unfortunate. Happy Steele was able to get him on campus. Hopefully we close on Carney and one of the other targets!

Nw is a great school. I predict we make the ncaa tourney before they do. Big is too deep to compete.

That was my prediction going in - closest high end academic opportunity to his home.
I sorta wonder why they didnāt offer him in the first place

Dae Dae went over 2,000 career points awhile back.
Just discovered that Martinelli leads the Big Ten in scoring average. Helping NW destroy OSU tonight.
