The Bluejay Underground: A Creighton Sports Message Board

I thought there was a thread on him earlier but can't find. Seems like Jacob said he'd been on campus (Central is 3 blocks from the Championship Center.) Anyway, I see he had 20 points the other night, first time he's shown much in the way of offense.

I haven't seen Central yet this season, although I probably will this weekend, so I don't know how they're using him yet. He's gotten a ton better since last year when the varsity game was probably a bit too fast for him. We measured him at 6'9" and 265 pounds with a 6'10.5" wingspan and a 25" standing vertical. He also tied his teammate Roman Behrens for second place in the jump shooting drill, which caught me way off guard. He rebounds and protects the rim well, and he's improved offensively. He's pretty nimble for his size as a roll man and his post game has gotten as well. He still doesn't always finish as strong as he probably should, but he is dunking a lot more than he used to.

From what I've gathered, I'd say Creighton and Nebraska are both in a "wait and see" mindset with Isaiah. If I had a bet for where his first high major offer would come from if he gets there, I'd say it would be Colorado. They've shown the most interest in him just from what I've seen. I talked a bit to one of their coaches this summer during one of his games in Kansas City.

Seems like he has a lot of work to do on his game. Big body though and that is something you can't teach.

Group of Central ballers at last night's game. It looked to me that Chandler was in that group.

He's pretty hard to miss.

Had 22 pts, 8 reb in Central's win over Northwest.

Are we Still in the wait & see mode on Chandler? According to earlier posts he has improved a great deal this past season.

He's 2017's #18 Ctr, on ESPN. Grades @ 80 (baseline 4 star).

With coaches out over the next few weeks watching summer tournaments, I'm guessing he gets some good offers. Watched him play at the OSA tournament and liked him a lot. Big kid who can play above the rim. I'd assume we would have offered by now if we were interested, since JP had a scholarship at this point going into his senior year.

I'd take him, but there's a chance the staff of the nation's No. 2 recruiting class for 2017 knows more than I do.

Picked up his second offer from Bowling Green.

Loved @OmahaEliteAAU F/C Isaiah Chandler this week. Moves really well for 6-9, 250, big time shot blocker, refined post game.

This kid seems like the type of post player we need to replace Hanson although with only 2 scholies left, im sure the staff is gonna be very selective. Looks like the ugly dogs from carbondump just offered as well...
