2017 C Jacob Epperson (Signed)

This is really, really good news. We are guaranteed to have depth issues next year, but the following year was looking almost completely empty at the 4 and 5 spots.

Epperson's also a guy who will fit in really well, gets up and down the floor, has nice offensive skills and has a ton of room to develop

Center Jacob Epperson verbally commits to Creighton, teammate of Jays' top target Brian Bowen

Couldn't be more excited to be a Jays fan that this moment. So refreshing after a few weeks ago when it was never a worse time I felt like. Thanks to Jacob.

People ragging on his 12 year old looks need to also realize that Justin Patton looks like a kid that just got his drivers license (which he isn't too far removed from) and he's an absolute freak of a pro prospect.

Nice commit for the Jays. That gives us (4) 4* new guys for next year. The experts disagree on his rating as Scout has him at #56 and 247sports have him at #111 while ESPN and Rivals don't him him as a top 100 guy. Rivals is the only one having him as a 3* but he looks like he has a bright future at CU. If Patton stays, I would not be shocked if he redshirts like Patton to put on some muscle and weight. Now get his teammate Bowen. If Bowen doesn't commit, I wish a top PG would fall out of the sky for us.

Lol... we have two point guards next year and two combo guards coming in along with two other starting guards that will return.

He provides some badly needed depth, likely not the starter-level immediate impact that we are looking for with Patton's hypothetical departure. Still, great program building recruit that helps out at a position of need, and gives us traction with the Bowen situation

Awesome news!

It's always great to add a new member to Creighton University.

Eric Bossi of rivals already mentionwd that he will crack the top 150 when he updates his rankings, great get!

Alexander, Epperson, Ballock....am I missing something? Who's the 4th 4* recruit?
