I know that getting Joseph on board helps our chances out. Michigan St will be tough to beat

Is there a connection there?

you mean besides Izzo camping out at La Lumiere almost daily? And that the kid is from Michigan? And that he and his friends probably grew up Sparty fans?

I am assuming he was referring to a connection between Joseph and Bowen, not a connection between Bowen and Michigan St.

Definitely meant between Tugs and Joseph. I know Michigan St is all over him.

Is there a connection between Brian Bowen and Michigan State tho?

Murphy is lead on Bowen. Was lead on Joseph. His imprint is being felt more and more at Creighton.

Which is a good thing, imo. Recruiting is sales, and Coach Murphy's a great closer. Talentwise Creighton is closing the perceived gap in talent - rapidly. It has been noted by the national media outlets, the talking heads (Zagoria, Rothstein, Goodman, others), on the HLH, and even the WH. Coach Murphy is obviously a workaholic...keep up the good work.

There was negative criticism of Coach Sellers and it still crops up today? Kids out east, such as Joseph were the ones he reached out to during his stay with the Jays. Murphy is doing a bangup job, but it is fair in Joseph's case to give Pat Sellers a bit of credit - as he primed the pump so to speak with many eastern recruits.

As some have noted before - the Jays are ahead of schedule.

so is there a connection between joseph and bowen other than murphy is recruiting both?

Does anybody know why we are having trouble landing a Center or a big Power Forward? This is really irritating to me.
