I saw that article and liked it from a Creighton perspective. But a couple of misconceptions;
1) Xavier was associated with Creighton and Butler as being not athletic. I'm guessing the writer (and one of the players) just made the assumption that since Xavier was previously in a mid-major conference that they recruited your prototypical mid-major player (unathletic but a good shooter with a high IQ). Xavier's been recruiting like a major program for a few years now, and the starting 4 and 5 guys are the only ones I would term "unathletic." Everyone else ranges from fairly athletic to highly athletic.
EDIT: Butler has some athletes on their team too.
2) One of the players talked about how the teams they've faced are more athletic but not as skilled as MVC teams. Okay, Creighton has faced Seton Hall and DePaul, along with a Marquette team whose offensive woes are well-chronicled. Maybe a little perspective is needed lol.

The programs I'm worried about are everyone else. Every single other team except Villanova appears to be on a down year. All y'all need to look yourself in the mirror and admit your programs are skating on thin ice. Georgetown, St Johns, Seton Hall and Providence fans, sorry to say your teams look like they are going the way of the Blue Demons more than when you had Thompson, Carnesecca, Carlessimo and Pitino. Add Marquette to the list, and X fans, I'm pretty sure you're wishing you still had Matta or Miller. Butler, are you just thrilled Miller replaced Stevens? Get some perspective kids.
