Frankie Fidler will almost certainly be mentioned as a Creighton target. Has already online. Watching a bit of tape, looks like someone whose game would transition to higher competition, ala our other recent starting transfers. Anybody seen him a lot more than the 10 minutes of highlights I watched think similarly?

With Coach Mac's recent history of completely ignoring his bench should role-players even be discussed? Not to derail the conversation, but I can't imagine any bench guy being excited to transfer to Creighton with the hope of getting 5 minutes of play as a 7th man.

Given what's floating out there for his NIL figures I doubt it's going to happen for us. I would rather NU pay that kind of money for a kid that might not materialize on the defensive end of the floor.
I just don't see them speculating on a kid defensively this year with kalk probably gone. More likely we'll see them get a scoring 2 and a kalk replacement. The two guys we're connected to so far support that - amari williams and pierre.
For the record amari williams would be a huge get and we spend really competitively on bigs.

You keep telling us Kalk is gone. You seem to make a point of it in a lot of your posts (If I’ve got you mixed up with someone else, apologies). But nobody else seems to know, or at least they’re not saying.
So, do you have solid intel, or are you guessing?
