The Bluejay Underground: A Creighton Sports Message Board

His name is Omaha. He's an elite 8th grader heading into HS at Dowling in Des Moines. Going to keep this here and dig this back up in a couple years

He is a 6 foot 7th eighth grader and I thought he would be clumsy. But I watched highlights of the kid super athletic and can handle the rock. Someone to follow.

Just to clarify... he's 6'7" with a 7' wingspan as an 8th grader.

Saw him play this weekend against Chucky and Bellevue West. Certainly did not look like a freshman. Didn't dominate the game or anything but he certainly made some impressive plays.

born in omaha, grew up in iowa. wonder where his loyalties lie.

so what is his projected height and position in 2023?

#1 in early 2023 rankings per https://nbnmagazine.com/class-of-2023-rankings-list/

He is playing with Tucker DeVries at Waukee this year.

ESPN has him ranked #4 in the first edition of their class of 2023 rankings, but they misspelled his last name and have not updated his high school.
