Big East brand has completely changed Creighton’s perception. They were getting unranked players five years ago.
Visits – Top 40 Recruiting visits.
Coaches are deep into the recruitment of 2019 and 2020 guys since the current (2018) class has committed early.
2019 PG DJ Carton (Iowa) unofficially visited the Hilltop on 16-17 of October 17. No other visits have yet been publicized, but the coaches have been busy with home visits and eyeballing both classes.

Surprised that SH is ahead of X, by a lot. I don’t think they will hold up their end of the bargain. Jays will beat ’em early, as the Pirates should be feelin it early.
Only N’Western, UCLA, and the Zags are ranked by BR, no Wiscy (even though they have Happ as a 1st team AA.) or Baylor. Playing NWern at the Rosemont should help, and a neutral court for a young UCLA is great. I expect the Jays to win both (and the CBE Classic). According to the article none of the other mags have published yet.
Lindy’s: Top 25 – Unorthodox poll. Nova 4th, Xavier 9th. Wisc 6th, UCLA, & Zags rated.
