2015 G Khyri Thomas (Signed)

[Duke1Agn]

Next year we should have the most natural talent we've ever had on a Creighton roster. Patton gives us a skilled big guy that allegedly has NBA potential. Krampelj is 6'8" and quite athletic. Huff is a long SG. It's going to be fun to see what Mac and Co. are able to do with it. I have a feeling we are going to see a brand of basketball that we haven't seen at Creighton before.

Joey, mentions going after a transfer this spring. Am I missing something? Aren't we out of scholarships or would it work differently with a transfer?

Dude, Wichita St is now +2 over for 2015 and are still recruiting and that's based on CF paying his own way.

Have Thomas and Patton qualified?

There is a ton of ability - we will be much longer and more athletic. We will also have a lot more quality shooters than we had this year.. Add in a guy like Huff who can score in a variety of ways and the role players/shooters get quite a bit more room than we have seen this year.

I think Khyri is a big pickup in that he potentially fills a glaring need that we've had for a long, long time -- a defensive stopper who can cover every position in the backcourt and on the wing. Like some of the Wichita guys we've seen.. he is physical, tough, athletic and has attitude -- I really think he can cover 1-3 on the court and will be invaluable on our switches and in helping to block and harass the passing lanes (have we ever had that kind of guy?).

We have one slot still left open.. and maybe two as it's not the norm for everyone to stay for the next year. Either way, our roster will be almost completely transformed next year.

Love this get. Khyri fills a lot of holes..defensive stopper, athletic slasher and he has length.

Have Thomas and Patton qualified?

last I heard it looked like Thomas was ready to qualify, and another report said that Patton made the honor roll, so I'm feeling optimistic about that also.

The most important line from Piv's article: "The 6-foot-3 guard has a 6-10 wingspan."

That's a question for Bluejayfan00. Only he would know.

To my knowledge, we have never done that before, so it's a concept adjustment. I don't think it's bad if there is a good reason. I think that Wichita is guarding against Van Fleet and Baker going pro. It would be awkward to be on the team with a scholarship and wonder if they were recruiting someone for your spot.
