Ah recruiting… the lifeblood of sports. Where the rubber meets the road of program development and growth. Recruiting. The chessmatch of future fame and glory.
The White and Blue Review has put out a new update on Creighton’s 2013 recruiting prospects. It differs from both their previous efforts and the Rivals site efforts, insofar as it appears to concentrate on many of the more recent offerees. Texas, Missouri, and Iowa kids are numerous, with a smattering of
Illinois, Mass., NYC, & Wiscy kids for good measure. All the candidates are above average to excellent proven players, there are no Diamonds-in-the-Rough in this group.
A few have stated high interest in the Creighton Program, others are curious, and some have heard word-of-mouth from current Jays and Coaches.
