I know they sit near the bench, I'm just pointing out he was on TV. I was looking for him all game but all I saw was shots of Joseph and Dunkum

Honestly? What personal issue one player has done, or accused of doing, should have no issue with another player. These are not issues in which the athletic department created.

Baylor still finds a way to get good players. I don't think it'll hurt recruiting. I don't want to hijack the thread with this stuff though. I hope Epperson had a good time.

The bottom line (at least in a rationale world) is assuming a claim such as this whether this is something tolerated (or even encouraged in some instances) by the institution and its employees or not.

If you stuck around to see the tribute to the seniors, and listened to each of them speak, you would have definitely seen that this is not a reflection upon the basketball team as a whole, nor upon the university as a whole. It really showed me what this program is truly about and the fine athletes that represent the university.

no word how official visit went but from the looks of things it seemed like he was having a good time with the team. Played with Kaleb Joseph before the game on court. Also seemed engaged with team during senior speeches. He's visiting Utah today.

Utah visit has been scheduled for awhile. Key will be if hes done after Utah or if he sets up more visits after like with Texas.

Nothing new but Bossi reiterated his view on Epperson:

@Utebuntu I still think Smith stays relatively local. Epperson I think Creighton will be tough to beat and I like Utah chances w/Akot.

Up to 5/5 predictions for Creighton. Hope we hear something soon.

I've seen him on film and it appears he is a project and isn't ready for prime time just yet. He averages only 7 points a game and doesn't appear to post up much. He does appear to have a nice hook shot from the right side. Between Epperson and Dunkum, one of them might develope sooner than the other but they appear to be similar type players with Epperson getting the higher grade.

Epperson is leaps and bounds better than Dunkum. It's not even close.
