Kid has “make history” written all over him!

Mac has taken a page out of the early 2000’s playbook.  Picked up a kid that has definitely been under-recruited, overlooked, underestimated. Feels exactly like a “back in the day” 2-3 star recruit, when we picked up the 1st Korver or Nate Funk.

Somethin’ about Sami and his game?  😉   Everything to like about him.  Smart, shifty, sneaky athletic, good BBIQ, and there is something intangible, something else, like I’ve seen him before…a feeling that I got while watching his vid.  He’s a guy we would’ve recruited back in the day and even throughout the DA Era.  He’s a guy that has the potential to become a glue guy.  The kinda kid folks will wind up asking; “where did they find this Osmani kid”?

Jays land transfer with POtential…O’Connell commits to Creighton.

Creighton picked up a commitment from Duke transfer wing Alex O’Connell today.  The 6-6/190 wing was a 3-year reserve player for the Blue Devils.  He was a top 75 recruit in the 2017 class.

O’Connell will sit 1, play 1 with the Jays.  He will be expected to be an impact bridge player in the 2021-22 season for Creighton.

Alex is the 2nd incoming 2020 commit, behind 7-0 Ctr Ryan Kalkbrenner.  Two recruits in the fold, two more to go.
