He is one of the best in game shooters I’ve seen this season ... here are game highlights from his 28-points MVP performance at an event in South Carolina

What are your thoughts of him? Who does he remind you of?

Guess it’s not too early to start this
So Far

@Nebraska
@Kansas. Thurs. Dec 3rd.
Arizona State —November 21st (confirmed)
—Bahamas Tourney November 25-27
Duke, Wichita State, Utah, Ohio State. Texas A&M, West Virginia, Memphis
Potentially 5 top 20 teams in the field. It’s really stacked
3 buy games

With that power line up I would expect cupcakes in the other games. But because of the 20 game conference schedule by my count that only leaves 3 more games. I believe we still have Gavitt games as well. Unreal schedule

Ok. Let the voting begin for best 4’s. See the list below for proper positions. If there is someone you are thinking of that is not on the list please bring up for
discussion. Thanks. Vote away

McDermott 4
Buford 4
Harstad 4
Cornell Smith 4
Korver 4
Anderzunas 4
Wragge 4
Watts 4

Ok as we move forward here we may have to make some decisions on some players to all be on the same page when grading them on a position.
The next position is center. The only player that pops in my head here that a decision needs to be made is Wragge. Early in his career he played exclusively 4. Then 4/5 and eventually just 5. I’m inclined to say he was a 5 but I could be swayed either way.

Silas exclusively center? Gallagher a 5, Harstad a 4 correct?
Anyone have any thoughts? Any other players we need to decide on centers ( Just centers now we will get to the other positions later). Please post here and then we will begin voting on top 5 centers

I wanted to create his own thread. I originally posted on the transfer thread that I highly doubted Creighton would be seriously involved in this transfer. Back when he decided to take a leave from tOSU due to "mental health" issues. I was hearing from sources he was definitely transferring and will most likely be going closer to home. The word was that Iowa was the most likely landing spot.

I assumed that was still the case. I reached back out to that same source (who covers a Big Ten school for Rivals) in the last hour and they heard from their assistant coaches that CREIGHTON IS THE MOST LIKELY LANDING SPOT FOR DJ.

I've heard that the "mental health" issues included some misbehavior and character issues. And that is why some of the other local Big Ten schools have backed off of him. I've also heard him and his mom are hoping a small private school atmosphere and being a little closer to home (about 4ish hours from Omaha. I am from and live in the Quad Cities now) will help DJ

To get us thru this period of life we are starting a best of feature for Creighton. In today’s first installment. Best point guard in Creighton history. But we have some rules to make this work—
1. Need to list five. List 1 (best) thru 5 (5th best)
2. No ties.
3. Plenty of discussion around these is welcome and encouraged

we will tally them all up and come up with a concensus when we are through. Begin posting!!!

I'm getting a little bored with the constant blather on the news channels about Husker football ( And Husker BB for that matter) and thought I'd start something about Creighton's upcoming season. Only two months and a week away and I'm extremely hopeful for a potentially great season for the Jays! If we start Epperson, Mintz, Ballock, Alexander and Zegarowski, we will be starting 4 players who were rated in the top 100 of one of the top rating services. That would be a first in Creighton's history that I can remember. Mintz, though not rated that high, has turned out to be a very valuable and underrated player. If Bishop starts, (because of Epperson's health or because he is playing better than Jacob) he was rated as high as 114 by Rivals. Ratings are not everything, but we have a lot of very talented players. A second unit of Bishop, Mitchell, Mahoney, Jefferson and Kelvin Jones is the best off the bench group I can remember at Creighton. I'm assuming the starters and that everyone is eligible and remains healthy, but in any case, we are loaded!!

News should be dropping before the end of the day...

Here is Trill’s preview.

Jays are slight underdogs tonight. Creighton has played so well in these tournaments over the years. SDSU will present some problems with their length and athleticism. I’m interested in watching Malachi Flynn for them as he was someone I really wanted Creighton to land back when he visited as a transfer from Washington State. Now Z eventually came along so it all worked out but at the time I was hoping Flynn wanted to be a Jay.

Need to continue to momentum

Preview is up

The Jays are slight underdogs tonight at Georgetown. Out to +3 at a lot of places. Ewing has let us play our style of game against them. Last year we scored 91 and 82 points against them. I think the Hoya's departures and thus lack of depth will be an issue throughout the remainder of the season.

Jays slight favorites for tonight’s game in Omaha. Would be a huge win after losing at Butler and and 2 road games on deck.

Just received word that Ryan Kalkbrenner will visit Creighton again on an unofficial visit Sept 15th - 16th. It’s time for his own thread as Creighton looks to be in this to the end.

Hearing Murphy could be resigning. As early as this weekend.

This will be a good test. They shoot tons of threes. Good test for our perimeter defense.

I have tix available if anyone needs them
