The Bluejay Underground: A Creighton Sports Message Board

According to 247sports, Villanova and Depaul have no freshmen or Jucos signed for 2020-2021.

I am unsure what the point of this post is? Anyhow, Jay has generally not filled up his roster completely, though, Villanova had 12 spots filled this season and 11 of those will return next season. They've been focused on 2021-22 and beyond for quite a while. 247 is also incorrect on DePaul as they have a guard, Kobe Elvis, class of 2020 signed.
Villanova didn't need and thus doesn't have a good class for 2020; DePaul's, though, is quite awful (but it's DePaul, what else would you expect?)

I'd be curious to hear the reasoning behind Murrell moving up for 247Sports. What's changed since their last rankings update? His play this season certainly didn't necessitate a move up.

It's almost as if recruiting rankings are arbitrary.

If Walton would’ve signed with us, he would’ve dropped 51 spots.

This conspiracy theory is so weird to me.

Patton, Thomas, Ballock, Alexander, and Zegarowski all finished ranked higher than what they were at the time they signed with the jays. Epperson dropped all of one spot, Bishop 5 and Kalkbrenner 10. There just isn't a sign with Creighton ranking drop.

After signing Rati, it seems like we have a very balanced roster. What are we going to do with the last open scholarship? Best available? Sit one wing?

Nothing like rebutting unsubstantiated opinion with unsubstantiated opinion!

Mac and his assistants have come through once again in recruiting and signing the nations #24 rated class and that isn't counting O'Connell, the Duke transfer. With one scholarship left, CU can be very selective or can wait for a spring transfer.
