He's not a point guard at all. He's a 2.

Played PG for Fullerton when I watched their games. Listed as a PG too.

You could say he dribbled the ball up the court a lot of times but not sure there was much of a pg in that offense. It was more just isolation ball.

I don't think Fullerton really had a point guard skill set-wise. He's much more of a shooter/scorer than he is a passer/playmaker. 2.4 assists (which led the team) to 2.0 turnovers this year, 146 assists to 125 turnovers in 72 career games.

Good points - to me from every bit I've seen of him playing, he looks like a combo guard who can handle the ball a bit and score a lot of different ways. Assuming we get a PG to run the show, he would be an awesome 6th man who could score and get his own shot

CU hasn’t spoken with him, only his dad. Pretty current quote since it references R2s move.

Not super encouraging quotes. He seems excited about maybe going to Lincoln with Sallis. May just be that we haven’t spoken to him yet because the R2 news was just today.

I am guessing since this topic started on March 11 by Helmzy (before Latrell was even in the portal) that Latrell and Creighton have been in contact for at least a month.

Maybe. I mean, I’m just going by what he actually said I’m the quotes he actually gave. That’s what I N was commenting on.

Cut his list to Alabama, Minnesota and Skers.

Bump.

Bump.

Gotta take the L’s with the W’s.
Still appreciate the inside info, even if it’s not always accurate.

Doesn't look like Creighton ever made any kind of real push. Hopefully that means they feel good about guys ranked higher on their board plus guys already on the roster.
