Re: Creighton Basketball 2014-2015

Two top 150 players coming in this coming year, and one top 100 player coming in the year after. I was told that Creighton couldn't hope to recruit with the big boys of the Big East.

I just worry one thing...


Is he "long and athletic" enough?

I'd take a team of fast shooters who can create shots (what we may have coming in with the redshirts and two new guys) who may miss some shots over the slow shooters (minus Doug of course... And Brooks who is a trainwreck) anyday. As far as "length", what's the fascination with this lately...

Brooks is fast and all, but his basketball sense is lacking entirely. The team is shooting like |expletive|, and it isn't on the refs for that.


These types of games are the reason I say Creighton is one and done...again...in the tourney.
