BREAKING: Four-star guard Rowan Brumbaugh decommits from Northwestern

In news that can be described as really bad for Northwestern but not entirely unpredictable, Rowan Brumbaugh — the crown jewel of Chris Collins’ upcoming recruiting class — has decommitted from NU.

Stadium’s Jeff Goodman tweeted the announcement of Brumbaugh’s decision on Monday afternoon, with Goodman attributing a quote to the four-star guard from Massachusetts, who said, “I love Chris Collins and the staff at Northwestern and appreciate everything they have done for me.”

Brumbaugh, who committed to the Wildcats on August 30, started to worry ‘Cats fans in November when he shared with ESPN that he would not sign a National Letter of Intent with Northwestern during the early signing period.
