Don't know what either of you are talking about.

Vivid is saying that if we did NOT get Scheierman he thinks Walton would be here. But we took Scheierman instead. So Walton is a highly sought after guy who we essentially passed on or didn't make room for because we are now in a position to do that. But if Scheierman had picked somewhere other than Creighton or had made a quick decision to stay in the draft, we well could have landed Walton.

So . . . what does the linked story have to do with any of those thoughts? I think vivid knows Scheierman decided to come here. That's pretty much exactly what he's saying.


Ok, now I see. His phrasing is poor. "if Scheierman had committed elsewhere" would have been a lot clearer.

Who's Baylor Scheierman?

Maybe I’m too biased, but I firmly believe he’s a Jay if Scheierman commits elsewhere or announces right away he’s staying in the draft. There had to be something to that crystal ball, right? If I’m correct, and the crystal ball guy knew, think of what that means for Creighton as a program. We get back-up plans or consolation prizes that are recent 4-star recruits sought after by a bunch of great programs. But we pass.


Well, I will say it wasn't a coincidence that Baylor committed the morning after the crystal ball pick was made.

Kerwin's agent said KW was planning to commit to Creighton. From my understanding we were recruiting both but could only take one.

Kerwin was not an intentional plot to put pressure on Baylor like some people on the Bluejay Bummer board think.

Yeah, wasn't intentional pressure but they only had one spot available.

Weird that you would know that, seeing as you’re blacklisted from the board on more than one account. Kinda confirms the burners.

He would have done well here in Mac's offensive system. There was a clear drop off with the coaching change in NC, and he has some very good skills.

W/o Baylor committing and coming back from the draft, I think Walton would have signed on

Even with Walton and Baylor being equal (they aren't IMO) - not having another player in that Soph/Jr class is good IMO.

We'll continue to have very good options on HS recruits or transfers going forward.
