2020 C Ryan Kalkbrenner (Signed)

[#RollJays]

So we have 1 or 2 spots left?

At #75 on the 247 composite, he's the highest rated recruit we've ever landed since they've started this rating system (Epperson was 77).

Best recruiting news in a long time and I hope this sparks more recruits to pick Creighton over the next few years.
Ryan lead the Nike EYBL AAU circuit with 4.3 blocks per game and was named Defensive player of the year.
Beating out Kansas, Stanford and Purdue for Ryan is huge for the program as Ryan is rated by 247sports as the top player since 2000 to commit/sign with Creighton scoring a 0.9698 beating Epperson's 0.9664.
Early signing day is Nov. 13, 2019.

Creighton's Retired Jerseys are:

25: Kyle Korver (1999-2003)

30: Bob Harstad (1987–1991)

33: Bob Portman (1966–1969)

35: Paul Silas (1961–1964)

45: Bob Gibson (1954–1957)

It's also understood that no one will be wearing #3 anytime soon (if ever).

We got the EYBL's defensive player of the year. I never thought we could say that in Mac's system. This is a huge pick up. He's going to have so many lob dunks in our system and we finally have someone that can protect the rim.
