At Creighton the only people who quit on McDermott were the assistant coaches, and with one of them it was because they were disappointed they werent able to become an interim coach

[Herman Cain]

Players enjoy playing in McDermotts offense . Everyone gets their shots , so not surprised the Blue Jays were able to have such a solid recruiting class.

[Golden Avalanche]

Having your entire starting lineup desperate to leave the building makes it a touch easier to recruit.

[Uncle Rico]

Let's see, was Uncle in that crowd?
Looks like the Plantation overseen by McDermott will still be viable

I like McDermott and think he made a silly mistake.  I also want him to stay at Creighton since Marquette is 8-6 against them in the last 14 games.

Yep. He couldn't even beat The Worst Coach In Basketball History consistently. Glad he's still in the league.

Interesting prospect for the Friars . Penn did not play last season.

But what about Teller?

All's been quiet with Teller.

He's a big trash-mimer.

[milwaukee ex-pat]

Providence was competition for Morsel I believe - could be good news for MU on that front...

[Billy Hoyle]

But what about Teller?

is that a NAIA school?

[Herman Cain]

I know the commitment was announced a while back, now Creighton signing of Trey Alexander is official.

I'm not certain that Matteus Case is going to be a scholarship player for Providence. All I know about him is that he hasn't played any college ball yet and his best offers coming out of high school were Penn and Drake. At least on paper, I don't think Morsell would be intimidated by him.

I agree with you on this. Case is a prospect that Cooley will be looking to develop.

[Herman Cain]

Will be a good experience for Creighton's Big Man

Seton Hall's Kevin Willard has promoted assistant Grant Billmeier to Associate Head Coach, per release. Has been an invaluable member of the Pirates' program.

Wagner's Donald Copeland is also joining the staff as an assistant.

Creighton Ryan Kalkbrenner named to U-19 team . Should  be a valuable experience for him. Others on team include Jonny Davis from the Badgers Patrick Baldwin Jr and Chet Holmgren

St John's with a nice pick up today. Averaged 15 ppg for Hofstra last season.
