A day of celebration in the USA…Happy Independence Day to the USA. Picnics, parades, BBQ, beer, and of course…Fireworks! Congrats on your 250th year. May you have many more.
A salute to the fine folks serving in the US Armed Forces. Some able to enjoy the various and assorted festivities whereever they are serving. Others still…upon the watch, regardless of what day it is. It is honorable to serve ones’ country, to honor and protect that country’s foundational framework, it’s founding documents & charter, and to protect and ensure it’s history. I salute you women and men of the Armed Services – worldwide! Keep the faith.
Just a mid-summer note to go along with your barbeque and fireworks. Wherever you may be…God Bless you!
2027 Recruits – Commits
Jays picked up there 2nd commit of the summer for 2027! Another… little known shooter (outside of Ohio). Another Apke, Harstad, Rodzilla, Korver, Bookwood, McD, Wragge, Z, or McAndrew. Another in the line of ‘where’d they find HIM’ type of Creighton shooter! Welcome to CJ Reef…good name! C’mon home in 2027 to Mr. Profit and to Mr. Osaruyi!
2027 – SF London Dada, H.S. 2027 6-8/190 Omaha Westside HS, Omaha, NB. #78 247 Sports /#! player in Nebraska. Committed on 29 May 2026.
2027 guard CJ Reef has committed to Creighton, he announced on Instagram. The unranked Western Reserve Academy standout is widely regarded as one of Ohio’s best sharpshooters.

2027 PG (sf) Jeremiah Profit Visited 16 June 2026. 6-5/180 He jumped to No. 70 in the 247Sports Composite on June 22 after debuting at No. 79 in December. 247Sports ranks him No. 74, ESPN No. 76 and Rivals at No. 77. All three have him among the top 10 in California. Profit states he has been a PG his whole life.
Hmmm? Longtime Oregon Assistant Mike Mennenga joins the HussBuss. Could he bring in the bacon as well? Mennenga’s recruiting chops have taken a hit these last few years? Could a fresh start reinvigorate him? Signing Paul Osaruyi would be the biggest ‘get’ for the Jays since Benoit Benjamin, and the top Creighton recruit in the ‘modern era’!
Correction – July 28, 2026: Coach Mennenga was evidently a candidate for an open coaching position at CU. He was not hired by Creighton and is not on staff!
Was a candidate…was not hired by CU.
🚨Creighton in the mix for 5⭐️ #3 OVERALL ranked player via ESPN 2027.
New Creighton Assistant Mike Mennenga has been recruiting him since 8th grade when he was at Oregon.
The lone ranger here: I am still expecting one of the 3 frosh SF recruits from Alabama to decommit. I am also expecting at least 2 of UMichigan’s 9 commits (6 frosh/3 transfers) to decommit – post Dusty May’s departure for the NBA. Top frosh McCoy and Costello have not re-affirmed commitment. Transfer Ctr Jalen Reed has not re-affirmed commitment.
Preferrably SF Richardson from ‘Bama.
Preferably SF Cosby, PG McCoy, PF Costello, & PF Estrella from Michigan. 4/5Jul2026-McCoy affirms UMich commitment.
