Busy 2 weeks on the Hilltop after months of virtual silence.  Visits galore by guards and one by Tristan Enaruna.  PG Bryce Moore stopped in on the 13th-14th.  SGs Jalen Windham and Antwann Jones visited on the 22nd-23rd and 25th respectively.  Enaruna dropped by on the 26th-27th.

Moore is a graduate transfer from W. Michigan U.  Windham is a incoming frosh from Indianapolis, IN.  Jones is a sit 1, play 3 transfer from Memphis U.  Enaruna is a Fwd frosh from the Netherlands/Wasatch Academy, UT.

Moore (Grad Trans) decided on Xavier U. 2 days after visiting.

Jalen Windham, 6-5/170 SG Fr chose Creighton 1 day after visiting.

Antwann Jones, 6-6/215 SG/SF (Sit 1) selected Creighton during his visit.

Tristan Enaruna, 6-9/215 Fwd Fr verballed to Kansas 3 weeks after visit.

 

 

These gentlemen join fall signee PG Shereef Mitchell to make up an decent 2019 Class.

Missing on Enaruna is big!  Beating the bushes is now mandatory in hopes of finding a Juco, Grad Transfer, of extremely late bloomer, to augment this miss.

With Martin Krampelj in the 2019 NBA draft and undecided as to whether he may go pro in Europe, there is still some uncertainty in the Bluejay 2019-20 camp.  It would be wise to continue to scour the landscape for another Grad Transfer or Juco center/power fwd, just in case.   There is a slim chance the the basketball gods may grant a miracle…if Sean Miller gets canned at Arizona…Zeke Nnaji may come back on the market.

Not clear who their other options are. I know they took a look at a pair of local kids this weekend.  Two local Omaha Kids.  Lok Wur from Papillion South and Javier Turner from Omaha Central.  Both are 6’9 and look like they move pretty well.  But it’s always hard to evaluate HS players.

 

After the lull in February through early April, things have finally picked up steam.  Stay attentive to GoCreighton.com, BluejayBanter.com, and Bluejayunderground.com for frequent updates on these fluid recruitments.
