The Bluejay Underground: A Creighton Sports Message Board

I would argue that it is essential to go after high schoolers and develop players over 4-5 years versus relying on Juco and transfer kids. It develops programs, it keeps them consistent and you tend to not see the peaks and valleys between years when you go that rout. Now I understand that we have recruited a fair amount of Juco and transfer kids the last 2 years but I take that as we needed immediate talent upgrade and can't wait for 4 or 5 17 and 18 year olds to develop while hoping that 1 or 2 is ready to make an immediate impact. I like what the staff has done in terms of their recruiting so far and I think we will continue to see them go after high school kids with the occasional transfer or Juco that can fill the gaps that may occur.

Wow, Bruce Webber???? Not sure what he is thinking other than playing time I guess. Hope he doesn't mind a different coach in 2 years....
