If Patton leaves the coaches will have no choice but to play him significant minutes early on. Otherwise a redshirt could be possible, with two fours (hegner harrell) and two fives (patton, krampelj).

247sports has a listing of the highest rated recruits for Creighton since 2000
Next year we will have 6 of the top 7 guys signed since 2000, lead by Harrell, who scored the highest coming out of H.S.
This is assuming Patton stays.

agree, we need to find some depth in the post for next year and the year after. We may even look to find a grad transfer or JUCO type who can help out for a year to let us be more patient with Epperson.

a lot will depend on what Patton does.

Yep. Also to those geniuses who defiantly stated there was no way Patton would declare for the draft, and anyone who suggested otherwise should be slapped. Seems like somebody deserves a slap, but not those reasonably discussing Patton in the pros.

Honest questions: even with a RS year, many think Patton was "thin" and weak against more physical bigs... Epperson makes Patton look like Shaq.
