Committed Elsewhere "Niko" Newsome, 6-5, SG, Bloomington, IL (BHS)

I assume his parents moved to a residence in the NCHS school district? I think he would have to transfer in that case.

What's the current NIL offer level at U High?

Not enough.

His family was already living in unit 5, been hearing rumors for months this was going to happen.
With the return of Cleveland, this team has serious state title potential

They use all that for baseball kids

I feel for BHS. As BN continues to expand outward towards Towanda, Hudson and Downs, their pool for players continues to shrink. They've been down in Football for the last decade because they just can't compete with the size of other teams. Same could be said for hoops. NCHS starts 6'3, 6'5, 6'8 and 6'10 and it's all about where these kids live. Incredible.

Same thing has happend to satellite cities of Chicago like Joliet, Aurora and Elgin.

Not following along closely game by game, by any means but it seems to have worked out for him in regards to the transfer. Gets to play at the next level (would’ve happened regardless), plays on a state contender team and under a hall of fame coach.
