I'm happy that I won't ever have to look in this thread again.

 

[Marty McFly]

Are Omaha and Columbia, MO close enough that 2 D-1 athletes, with games, practices, school work, etc. can regularly visit each other?

It’s only like 4 1/2 hours... so totally doable.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

Hilarious. He chose Creighton over us.

so, only a 9 hour round trip...

Closer then zona or cuse to mizzou...never underestimate the testosterone of a 18-19 year old kid wanting to see his girl...9hr round trip is nothing for 2 minutes of fun!

True, but I have to think that a decent hoops program closer to Mizzou than Creighton offered him a scholly

Looks like we roll with Benny and the vets

 

[Shenexon]

Should I just preemptively slap a reply ban on CR now?

My aunt played kazoo on the gong show! Pretty sure she was gonged.

 

[DoctorBombay]

No shock. There's no PT available...we know how Boeheim do. Wish him the best.

I already have

If you were only enjoying 2 minutes of fun at 18/19 years old then you were doing something horribly wrong.

Haha...yea I agree!

1. Big East
2. BET in MSG
3. Massive Big East TV coverage.
At least it wasn't Arizona.

Creighton is also top 5 in attendance annually.

 

[FloridaFan]

We live in a world of cell phones iPhones and computers where you can zoom with somebody where your in Norfolk Virginia and they are in Tokyo Japan. Not an excuse to pick an inferior program. Just my thought.

You must never have had to do long distance when younger. If you can avoid it you do

Creighton's "NBA Style" Locks Down Kaluma's Commitment

Most figured Arizona was the heavy favorite to land highly-prized Arthur Kaluma. They have been a Pac-12 powerhouse before the recent downturn. They had a new coaching staff with Gonzaga roots. They were the in-state lead horse. No one seemed to think Creighton had much of a shot (aside from The...

Honest question: who is one player from Creighton to play in the NBA besides the coaches’ son? I guess you can count MCW’s brother this year.

 

[samspann1]

Korver is probably the best known.

 

[rrlbees]

He wants to be a one and done and to accomplish that he needed to go someplace where he would most likely start and play big minutes. That IMO is pretty clear.

“I like the pieces they have and think I can come in and help them win games, achieve what we need to achieve and make a name for myself at Creighton. They play an NBA style, which will help further prepare myself for the next level I want to reach.” – Arthur Kaluma to ESPN

Looks like the old "zone doesn't prepare you for the NBA" schtick. Appears to have been a factor if you read into what he told ESPN. But who knows.

I mean, they’re technically in the Big East but they’ll never feel like a Big “East” school? Also, massive TV coverage? Ratings on FS1 are a joke.

They’re in the Villanova and friends Big East.
