The Bluejay Underground: A Creighton Sports Message Board

General feeling here is CU program has surpassed WSU. Lots of respect.
As far as landing any of their transfers, WSU was a horrible shooting team. Now I think about it, I don’t see any of their guys upgrading our program.

Going to be really interesting to see what Mintz decides. You would think he would give his transfer decision soon if he were to make it.

I just don’t see us going after a grad transfer with how stacked our roster will be next year. I’d focus on getting 1 sit 1 play 2/3 transfer and focus on the 2021 class.

What about Kelvin Jones?

My understanding is we free up 1 scholarship due to Kelvin graduating, and have another that is open now. One of those is Kalkbrenner's so we have 1 available. If Mintz leaves, then we have 2 to give.

I think we need another big man who can play for one of those spots. We don't know how Epperson will come back and by losing Kelvin we will be even shorter in the middle without another guy. So I suspect that we look for a grad transfer or a freshman we think could contribute to fill a spot.

If Mintz leaves, then I really think we'd want a sit 1, play 2 or 3 transfer to help give us some experience after so many graduate the following year.

And if Seniors receive an additional tear?

that would be crazy. I'd imagine we'd like him to be back and even with the current situation we could keep him on scholarship. If the NCAA did something drastic like that I'd like to think they'd add a small scholarship buffer to not force people to get tossed off scholarship or not get the scholarship if they weren't yet on campus. We'll see!

UCLA, Oregon, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, NC State, SMU, Creighton, DePaul are some of the other suitors involved for Landers Nolley II, a source told

Virginia Tech transfer w/three years remaining.

Their leading scorer.

really, really interesting. Top 100 out of HS, but maybe underrated. Shares the ball, rebounds well, and was a very good shooter in HS, but lost his shot in conference last year

Bringing in Kalkbrenner to replace Jones doesn't really make us shorter in the middle, does it?

Nolleys is a REALLY good player. He would be a massive get. I watched VT a few times this year. He’d be perfect for when our 4 upcoming seniors graduate. He and MZ with Kalkbrenner and Jones.. almost like a reloading after this upcoming senior class leaves. We should be all in
