Waited until after the draft deadline. A lot of folks left the BE.
Creighton
Lose: Foster, Hegner, Thomas, and 3 role players
Notable players expected to return: Martin Krampelj, Davion Mintz, Ty-Shon Alexander, Mitch Ballock, Jacob Epperson, Kaleb Joseph, Damien Jefferson
Expected additions: Marcus Zegarowski, Chris Bishop, Sam Froling, Denzel Mahoney, Connor Cashaw
Why the Bluejays are here: Creighton loses 4 seniors (2 Starters) and Jr Khyri Thomas to the NBA Draft. That's 3 good pieces gone. But Krampelj, Mintz, Ballock, Alexander and Epperson all return plus add a top-40 recruiting class -- highlighted by four-star point guard Marcus Zegarowski. There is not a lot of dropoff on this team. Add in late grad transfer wing Connor Cashaw for additional scoring punch, should have Greg McDermott’s program as the Big East favorites in a down season.
