2018 Grad Transfer Connor Cashaw (Commit)

BOOM.
Cashaw averaged 15.5 points and 7.1 boards a game for Rice last year; his shooting percentages to get those 15 points aren't amazing (39.8% overall, 31.9% from three) but the 7 rebounds a game, 40 steals, and positive assist-to-turnover ratio are hard to ignore. Good stuff.
Jays recruited him a bit out of high school, where he was teammates with Jalen Brunson. Great pickup this late -- and way under the radar. There had been rumors swirling about him being available, and about CU being interested, for the last week or so but the staff managed to keep it on the super-secret-DL so no other schools tried to poach him. There was not one social media post, or media report, about him either being available as a grad transfer or about his interest in CU. No drama with pitting schools against one another, or list of final candidates, nothing. He visited over the weekend but the couple of people outside of the staff who knew about it were sworn to secrecy. A player of Cashaw's ability, this late in the summer, would have had dozens of suitors if anyone but Creighton knew he was transferring.
Looks like it worked
