Woah. That’s a really nice pick up for them, damn. Creightons going to be so good next year, they return their whole team. Then add him in the following season, they and Nova seem like the teams to beat.

If something unforeseen happens and he’s granted immediate eligibility Creighton might be the favorite to win it all. They are LOADED returning every player from a top 10 team. Antwann Jones becomes eligible for them next year as well.

Would anyone still rather be playing Tulane and East Carolina?

The takes in these threads are incredible. Someone wanted to pass on this guy for our team? Do people just comment on this board and never watch the sport they comment on?

He talked to a Creighton insider and said he is going to sit out the year. That is probably the best move for both parties as the rotation is pretty much set for next season. Basically the whole team returns, only rotation guy that left was a backup center that only averaged 11 mins and 3 points a game. Have to work in 3 other guys to the rotation too, a wing transfer from Memphis and two 4* centers(one missed last season with a broken leg and the other is a 2020 recruit.)

Considering that 4 seniors will graduate O'Connell is going to have the chance to play a big role in 21-22 for the Jays. Probably the opportunity he was looking for to get 25-30 mins a game.

Not a fan of recruiting scrappy, gritty, coaches sons if you catch my drift.

McDermott is the Andy Reid of college basketball. Beautiful offense and shooters for days.
