Northwestern basketball misses final cut for local 2018 wing Talen Horton-Tucker

Highly touted Simeon guard Talen Horton-Tucker released his final 13 schools Sunday evening, and Northwestern did not make the list.

I am grateful and I appreciate all of the schools that took the time out to recruit me but, these are my final 1ufe0fu20e33ufe0fu20e3 schools #ItsTime pic.twitter.com/rLVoeS2S3E

Whether this is a result of Chris Collins and his staff looking elsewhere or Horton-Tucker’s greater level of interest in 13 other schools, we don’t quite know. But since Ryan Young’s commitment on Wednesday and perhaps even before that, Northwestern had seemed rather cold on Horton-Tucker and vice-versa.
