The other reviews are positive, some even upbeat. Please leave the sadness or whatever to the good folk at the BJU and BJB boards. :lol:
Jays have a good class coming in, are still looking at a few 2018 kids and looking at a few possible grad transfers, then there's always a
good juco to snag. Don't be surprised when CU announces a late surprise. ;)

Wing transfer Damien Jefferson brings more defensive prowess and a penchant for scoring. Marcus Z solidifies the PG spot.
Froling adds a bit more depth up front, Bishop is another scoring/rebounding wing. This years' frosh will make the sophomore leap.

Only 2 seniors, but our youth is a strength - they haven't made a habit of losing. Jays will be fine.

You are a good contributor, leave the Eeyore routine to others more practiced over in Creighton-land. Keep up your good work.

Grad transfer guard Joe Cremo will be visiting Creighton next weekend. One of the more sought after transfers, would be an enormous get.

Utah State transfer Koby McEwen is down to Creighton, Grand Canyon & Marquette, a source tells @247Sports. Will work to set up visits soon. Averaged 15.6 PPG last year.

Seems odd to have Grand Canyon in that mix - unless weather and co-eds not being in winter coats half the year are high on your list.

Grand Canyon evidently has deep pockets...
McEwen has to sit 1, play 2. He doesn't help Wojo this coming season (Marquettee's biggest need is PG).
Creighton can afford to let him sit and learn the system. Would be sweet to get him and Cremo.

Ronnie Harrell has graduated and will be leaving Creighton as a grant transfer. Heading home to Denver University for his final season of eligibility. Big loss for Creighton, but might signify that we have a couple of great transfers or transfers locked up.
Nebraska by birth, Creighton by choice.

Ronnie never seemed to live up to his potential, sad to see him leave since he would have played big minutes next year. He's going to his hometown to play for his uncle who is coach at Denver.

While Ronnie seemed to always be good for a play or two each game where you went wow, he was just really inconsistent and never seemed to be able to settle in to what coach wanted. That, and his inability to consistently hit the short jumpers at a high percentage hurt us at times, and his defense left much to be desired at times. Team will miss his energy and one less body for depth, but scoring and rebounding will be replaced, and Nova has shown everyone that you don't have to be able to go 8-9 deep to be successful. This does put a lot of pressure on coaches to land at least one athletic 6'8" type forward in the grad-transfer market.
