The goal should to sign any Omaha kid talented enough to play at the level of competition that the Creighton Bluejays compete in and aspire to. If there is a kid from Omaha that measures up, by all means sign the kid. But if the crop of Omaha prep kids won't measure up, the coaches need to move on. I hope Omaha has a long line of great prep stars that follow Khyri, but if he is the last qualified player for the next two decades, so be it.
That makes sense. I guess that's what I read into the initial quote -- that if there is a legit D-1 major player in the Omaha area, CU should get that kid most years, not that we should just sign whoever happens to be best even if not even capable of playing at a junior college level.
I just don't want to see any legitimate D-1 major talent from Omaha end up down the road, because I love seeing the local kids succeed on the college level and it would break my brain to have that conflict with wanting to see UN fail. Hopefully that means seeing those kids play at Creighton and follow the footsteps of Dotzler, Young, Jones, Patton, Thomas, etc.
