Wow that's great news. Creighton starting to feel the impact of Big East membership in the recruiting battles it seems.

In the year since picking up a Kansas scholarship offer, a handful of major programs have joined Kansas and K-State in the race for Ballock. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have offered.

Ballock’s reputation as an elite-level shooter was cemented, in part, during a trip last summer to Steph Curry’s camp in the Bay Area. Ballock was recognized as the top shooter at the elite camp, and ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla, a close observer of the Kansas program, took notice.

“Kansas fans, I hate to get you too excited,” Fraschilla tweeted after the camp, “but … Eudora soph, Mitch (Ballock) put on a shooting show at @StephenCurry30 Select Camp. NBA range.”


This is even more impressive the more I read.

Creighton up to #3 on 24/7 in national recruiting for 2017. Wasn't really sure we could recruit at this level, but BE is paying dividends!! He has a KU offer and they were the heavy favorites, so this was a nice surprise (He lives about 10 miles from the Kansas campus!)

I think Creighton can become the Syracuse of the "new" Big East. Without the scandals and obnoxious fans.

I'd be happy to settle for "the team everyone loves to hate". ;)
