While not quite a revolving door like the UKs, Dukes, and KUs…we have a bit of movement this offseason.  

 

 

Center Kelvin Jones, a 5th-year grad transfer, has exhausted his eligibility.  SG Davion Mintz, a Senior 4-year player who redshirted this season due to injury, is leaving as a Graduate Transfer.  Also Freshman SG Jalen Windham is transferring.

Where did they go?  Kelvin Jones has exhausted his eligibility so it will be interesting to see where he lands…NBA, G-League, European Pros, Asian Pros?

Davion Mintz has graduate transferred:  U of Kentucky!  That’s correct.  He will be playing for Coach Cal next season.  A shock and surprise to many Jays fans.  😉

Jalen Windham has transferred:  Ball State University, in Indiana.  Should be a good fit for Jalen.

 

The Jays have had 4 scholarship players transfer in the past four seasons — Kobe Paras in 2017, Ronnie Harrell in 2018 and Windham/Mintz this week.

Creighton now has three open scholarships for the 2020-21 squad. The Jays’ 2020 recruiting class already has Ryan Kalkbrenner, a 7-foot prospect from St. Louis. They’re reportedly one of six finalists for 2020 guard Kerwin Walton, out of Hopkins, Minnesota.

 

The Jays are actively pursuing possible additions through the transfer market.  Prospects  PG DJ Carton (Ohio St), SG Aaron Estrada (St Peters), and Fwd Trey Murphy (Rice) are 3 of the primary targets.

 

Stay tuned…

Jays hit the Transfer Trail again after middling success with 4 year recruits.

 

Creighton returns to mine the cache of transfer players after limited success in landing 4-year recruits.  To date, the Jays have landed Ctr Ryan Kalkbrenner as their sole incoming frosh player.  It seems that the staffs’ focus has shifted with only SG Kerwin Walton and PF Dan Batcho left as primary potential frosh candidates.

There are well over 400 transfer players to date, and growing.  Creighton has their bid in with at least 10 prospective transfers, that we know of.  Most are guards, with ex-OSU PG DJ Carton as one of the primary targets.

 

Creighton has had tremendous success in the transfer market.  Transfers have played a major role for CU going as far back as Brody Deren (NW) in 2000-01, Jeffrey Day (UWash) in 2004-05, Chad Millard (Louisville) in 2006-07, and Big Gregory Echenique (Rutgers) in 2009-10.  Most of our “transfers” back in the MVC days were via the JUCO pipelines.  The 2009-10 Bluejays team is one of my all-time favs – plenty of Jucos.  Recent players such as Cole Huff, Mo Watson, Marcus Foster, Kaleb Joseph, Connor Cashaw, Kelvin Jones, Denzel Mahoney, Damien Jefferson, and Antwann Jones have all become Bluejays via transfer.  All the mentioned players have had a positive impact on the program.

The 2020-21 team is expected to be one of the best, if not the best team in Jays history.  Continued success in mining the transfer portal Creighton.  All the best to you, as the best is yet to come!

Roll Damn Jays!
