General Big East Thread 20-21

Creighton's prized recruit who earlier decommitted confirmed it was because of what Coach McD said. Got a feeling the fallout from this will always carry with him. Creighton brass will ultimately have to make a tough decision here (or not).

Mason Miller , son of Mike Miller, has not signed his NLI with Creighton........

I have no idea what they are waiting for. This should've been done within a week of them exiting the tournament, but as players and coaching staff leave, it only becomes more evident.

Pretty mind-boggling that they have not done anything yet. The wheels are coming off and they are flying off an overpass...

Not sure if this has been posted yet but ESPN News Services said that Creighton confirmed Thursday night Mitch Ballock had signed with an agent and will pursue pro opportunities.
Ballock is the fifth starter who will not take advantage of another season of eligibility granted by the NCAA because of the pandemic.

probably a convenient excuse when Cal and others reached out with offers he can't refuse.

Maybe but McDermott is a dead man walking.

Busy Friday afternoon on the transfer market for the Big East.

Theo to Duke
Greg Williams Jr to UL-Lafayette (some SJU fans thought he would come back)
Former #1 Juco and Kansas benchwarmer Tyon Grant-Foster to DePaul
Christian Bishop to Texas
Jyare Davis (Providence redshirt) to the portal

I was a big fan of Christian Bishop from day one and wish him well. However, I think the Creighton incident was very unfortunate for him. In that McDermott's offensive structure was ideally suited for Bishops tightly focused skill set ,which is why he thrived in it . Maybe Beard can use him in a similar way, but the chemistry building etc to facilitate that will take time.

He went from a sub 120 recruit to a top 10 guy (when it updates next, if they do it accuratly) with a G league contract on the table or an offer to UK. McDermott's comments are a long term death sentence, but after the administration stupidly decided to keep him in late February they kinda have to ride it out for one or 2 years. Granted, Creighton will have Mike Miller's son and the guard from Georgia (the country) next, two of their better recruits ever.
