2015 recruits

[Duke1Agn]

It's ESPN, guys. I've given up on them.

We all know that with the two transfers, plus the three recruits signed, we are going to have arguably the best class in Creighton history step on the floor next year. Add Frankamp to the mix and it's not even close.

Do the two transfers count as last year? This year? Never in regards to recruiting classes?

Fair questions. I have no idea. I'm just the middleman on this (seemingly poor) information exchange.

I'm pretty sure they would have counted as part of the 2014 class (if ESPN had counted them) as they took up 2014 scholarships. Frankamp would take up a scholarship in 2015 (and starting next semester if one was available) and I would add him as part of the 2015 class.

ESPN didn't mention the transfers last year (IIRC), but there are some recruiting analysts who include them. The transfer recruiting is almost as important as the HS recruiting these days, and our recruiting looks a lot better with Watson, Huff and Kreklow added to last year's freshman.

I think ESPN mostly looks at high school kids in making their ratings because it is too much work for them to do a complete analysis of a class. That's why the class ratings are very suspect unless they account for transfers. I honestly don't think a B- is that bad when they only give us credit for two recruits. No one knows how to rate Martin K because they haven't seen him play over here. Anyone that rationally looks at what we have coming in next year (including transfers) would have to give us an A or A+.

Roosevelt Smart, who is now at Sunrise Christian, has apparently reopened his recruitment. Guess he didn't sign a LOI?

I take these ESPN ratings with a grain of salt.
Harrell and Gilmore were on paper great recruits and one is red shirting and one should be but is having a year wasted.

Per Piv's chat, we are still recruiting and very interested in getting Khyri Thomas.
