Game thread

I have four tickets available for Saturday’s game. Mezzanine— great seats. Let me know if interested

Really looking forward to this game. Michigan wasn't overly impressive in their 1st game vs Appalachian St. Should be a good gauge to see where our Jays are at early this season. KenPom has Michigan 75-71

Creighton basketball media day kicks off in an hour. Follow on Twitter @bluejaybanter for updates all day. I’ll stick around for practice and have a break down later.

We have a court case coming upand maybe Avenatti dragging Nike into it.

- maybe looking for a new assistant coach
- finalizing next years roster. Looking at transfers, Enaruna, etc.
- due for a foreign trip again. Going to AUS in August.

Eric Bossi from 4/19/16:

Creighton remaining active in the state of Kansas, have also offered 2019 SG Zach Harvey of Topeka Hayden.

Login to view embedded media Creighton has some initial interest here.

Jays open the season today at UALR. Down 3-2 in the 4th.

heard he hasn't been around practice or with team past few days. Could be personal reasons just seeing if anyone knew anything. Thx

Login to view embedded media Its time he gets his own threadsince he pretty much is the 2019 class left. Wasatch takes on La Lumiere tonight. Huss is in attendance as he coached at La Lu and is the lead recruiter for Enaruna.

Anybody have any info on this year's summer league yet?

- Matt McQuaid played 34 minutes and had 12 pts, 5 boards, and 3 assists last night vs KU. He looks to be a solid role player throughout his college career for Sparty. It would have been interesting to see how he would have fit in Mac's system.

- Ian Steere played 5 minutes in NC St.'s 105-55 win over Mt. St. Mary's.

- Duke and KU looked good.

- Providence stud Fr. AJ Reeves scored 29pts last night in a 10 point win over Siena.

- Ronnie Harrell lead his team with 33 minutes in a win over Maine. He had 18pts, 13 boards, 1 assist, 4 TOs, and 4 blocks

Thought with the way things are going we would have a thread where we bounce ideas/theories off one another. What's wrong and how can we fix this.

My first thought is this. Why when we get one injury everything goes to hell. Other teams have injuries but seem to find a way to get thru. So let's look back. Mo goes down. We have no point guard. Martin goes down. We have no big guys (redshirt had to be pulled) Jefferson goes down. We have no one to take his place.
Instead of us saying-" ok let's try Martin at the four n Sam at the five "we never considerate it Not sure it would work but our answer is always four , guards, two point guards etc. I mean why can't we say "Jefferson out. Ok Bishops his back up so he starts". Instead we have NO back up for DJ. Our response is let's go small Because of let it fly we never recruit a 6-8 guy who's a good defender, bangs the boards. If a guy can't shoot 3's he can't play for us.
This isn't breaking news --we have a junk offense. If we make enough threes we win. If not we have no other way to win.
Plus the type of players we recruit for let it fly--are we incapable to have that player who can also defend?? If we get one we are lucky.

I get we are young. But even if these guy mature and grow as players-- with this style not sure that we won't always have to hit tons of shots and hope some guy on the other team has an off night.

There is my rant. Let's hear yours.

Is anyone hearing if we will be hosting or not? I think last time Tim heard we were hosting and he was right.

congrats to former CU assistant Patrick Sellers (who serves in the same capacity at Fairleigh Dickenson) on their win in Dayton.

#5 Creighton take on #4 Xavier at 1:30 CST on Thursday. Jays should be slight favorites. KenPom has Jays 74-71.

Can't wait for what should be an exciting tournament with everything left still to play for.

YIKES! Hope for the kid's future the alleged connection of Tugs as the recruit who took money to go to Louisville is not true -

Oh yeah there is a big game tonight. Preview is up. Jays -7.5. KenPom has us by 8. We usually have our way with DePaul bc they really don't provide much resistant to the style we like to play. Stus has been going off, but I have confidence the guys won't lose him. DePaul didn't really show it the first time bc Reed and Olujobi were in foul trouble, but they can be a handful on the boards.

Preview is up. Winning at Marquette on Sunday won't mean much if they can't win these last two home games where they will be decent size favorites.

Because of PC's style...I don't really like them as favorites bc they have usually struggled to score, but I think very highly of them in an underdog role.

With that being said, I'm a little uneasy of this game on Wednesday. The Friars get more than a week off to prepare and the Jays are coming off a big win.

Preview is up.

Xavier has really struggled, but with that being said, line will indicate a tight game tomorrow.

Interesting line tonight in Chicago. Marquette is only 3 point favorites at DePaul

Preview is up.
https://creighton.rivals.com/news/seton-hall-preview-19

Seton Hall has some good non-con wins over Kentucky and Maryland, but they've lost 5 of their last 6. They have already lost to DePaul twice and 3 of their 4 Big East wins have come by a combined 5 points.

With the semester now over, this is when we generally hear about mid year transfers. While I admit I've probably paid less attention this year than in the past, it seems like we aren't hearing much about kids transferring mid year this season. Anyone agree or disagree?

I would expect us to be quite active in pursuing any mid year transfer candidates since we are sitting with available scholarships. Tim or Jeremy - any word?

VA Tech and Georgia also in his final 4

531 Jeremy Hauer, May 13, 2018

The coaching staff was able to get out on the road this weekend with the Friday night game. Coach Mac was in Florida and Coach Lusk was in Minnesota.

2019
Tristan Enaruna - Coach Mac was checking out the priority in Florida this weekend at Montverde Academy. Coming into this past weekend. Enaruna is averaging 10.8 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 2.5 APG, 1.5 SPG. Wasatch won on Thursday, but lost their first two games of the year on Friday and Sat. Enaruna was offered by Miami after seeing him on Thursday. Enaruna is now ranked #105 according to Rivals.

2020
Ben Carlson (East Ridge) - Creighton offer and has been on campus. #53 according to Rivals. Priority by many. Minnesota, Stanford, Wisconsin really want him and have put themselves in a good position early. Lots of competition for Ben.

Kerwin Walton (Hopkins) - 6'4" #114th in nation by Rivals. Offered by Creighton this past fall. Lots of Midwest schools involved, but still early in his recruitment.

Mason Madsen (Rochester Mayo) - 6'3 doesn't hold an offer from Creighton. Has some mid-major offers.

Gabe Madsen (Rochester Mayo) - 6'5" Brother of Mason, doesn't hold an offer from Creighton. Has a Marquette offer and is looked at as the better player of the two. Is more productive and has a little better size.

2021
Kendall Brown (East Ridge) - #25 by Rivals. Creighton offered during his unofficial visit this past fall. Also plays on the same team as Ben Carlson so we will see how involved the Jays stay throughout his recruitment. Again it is early as he is only a sophomore. If he stays in the top 25ish of rankings, it would be a tough get for the Jays.
