Looks like a big bodied center we could use.

While reading up on Brady, came across this Pulitzer Prize winning piece.

Brady Ernst, a 6-8 power forward from Indian Hills CC re-opened his recruitment at around 6pm tonight. In this season at IHCC he averaged 9.4/6.5/0.4 on .637/.000/.726 shooting. The 6’10”, 230-pound post would have had three years of eligibility remaining when he got to Xavier, but now will take that elsewhere.

Wait! Did the Germans just bomb Pearl Harbor?

Jarreau and Gresham hit the market last night. I think these are two players Creighton was hoping would be available and a pair that they will for sure go after. They've been a duo since high school. It will be interesting to see if they stick together during this move. Jays liked both but scholarship crunch could be an issue. 2 spots are likely reserved for Donnal (or a big) and top freshman available (Bowen or Waters). If Jays strike out on one or both I believe Jarreau and Gresham are their top targets, especially since Murphy's role is more pronounced on Hilltop.

All that sounds great, but the longer Tug's takes, the more it'll suck if he doesn't choose us. There are a lot of nice transfers out there, like Jarreau and Gresham.

sounds to me the like the Jays have good options then. Always want your program to be a buyer at this time and not the seller.

What I'm saying is, I hope that all of our other targets don't look elsewhere because we don't have a Tugs decision yet.

We have room for Tugs no matter what.

Tugs deciding between MSU, Arizona and Creighton makes Creighton look all that more appealing. I don't think Tugs' recruitment will drive away top players.

I agree with that. Point is, longer Tugs takes to decide, less time we have to go after other guys, more time for other schools to build relationships.
