Northwestern is a tremendous school and plays in a terrific conference, so I can see the appeal. This has to be viewed as a tough loss for both Rutgers and Seton Hall though - a kid in their backyard who has expressed a desire to stay local, who both teams heavily recruited, and yet he chooses a school that isn't exactly a basketball powerhouse. I understand that people believe Carr's commitment played a role in Sina's choice, but surely he was well aware of Carr's apparent precarious academic situation. And even so, the Hall staff could have sold him on the ability to play with a guy who has Carr's ability (from what people say of his skills).
