Re: Creighton Basketball 2024-2025
I’d also say Kalk is better overall than Clingan..
Clingan benefitted from playing on the best team in college basketball the last 2 seasons.. Which, of course, our Jays defeated twice ..
That said, my fingers remain crossed for Kalk to return for his last season of eligibility…
