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.

Sigh. The dr.bluejay daily face palm post has arrived early today.

Yeah, Epperson needs to add weight. So did JP. He averages 7 points a game because he's literally playing with 3 other 5 star players and then a 4 star. Also, what film have you seen? Not much as been out in him since last summer.

Not to mention the fact that Dunkham is a 20 year old walkon and Epperson is an 18 year old with a scholarship offer - who also offers that are better than Dunkham's were in high school. A stupid, uninformed comparison.

Yeah, Epperson has CU, Texas, Purdue, Utah, Illinois, Wichita, West Virginia, Va Tech, UNLV, UCLA, A+M, TCU, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Minnesota, Marqutte, Cal, DePaul, Pitt, Vanderbilt and Cincinnati offers.. that's about as good of an offer list as you can get without the blue bloods on you. What guys on our roster had a better offer list than that? Let alone Dunkum :lol: :lol: :lol:

Epperson Update: http://www.scout.com/college/basketball/recruiting/story/1760319-best-availables-9-remain-in-2017-top-100

"Four-star post player Jacob Epperson emerged with AUSA Hoops over the summer and since has become a hot name on the recruiting trail. Epperson has already taken official visits to Creighton, Utah and Toledo, where his father played. Our hunch is Creighton may be in the drivers seat, but look out for Texas, as they are expected to get an official visit and are certainly in striking distance. "
Contenders: Creighton, Texas, Toledo and Utah

drbluejay, it was said by hilltop a little while ago that if JP were to leave for the NBA this summer and Epperson commits, he would receive playing time early and often next season... Knowing how close hilltop is to the staff, I trust his information. Wait to judge him until you actually see him play...

I hope Epperson signs with Creighton and becomes an All American. I like the kid. He looks like he could become a star for us.
A year or 2 with Mac coaching him and adding a few pounds will help. Patton had a year of Mac's coaching and added 25 pounds and it has turned out great. I am not coming down on Epperson at all. I pray we get him.

Epperson said he likes what Creighton has done with Justin Patton. He is somewhat like me. Creighton redshirted him and now he is looking at the draft. As far as videos of Epperson, there are at least 2 of them out there. One in Apr. 2015? which is 5:14 long and the other is the July 2016? which is 7:43 long. Hope we get him along w/ Tugs. 247sports thinks we get Epperson.
