What is pointing to Creighton with him?  

Girlfriend attends creighton and he waited to enter the portal until the first day of creighton's offseason.  Previous comments about wanting to be closer to "loved ones" rather than "home."  I don't think it's a stretch to say that they are in the driver's seat for his services

Just stuff I've been reading and seeing from people.  I hope he chooses Nebraska though.

I’d say offer his girlfriend an NIL deal because she must be a pretty good volleyball player.  Problem is we are the Alabama of volleyball so we wouldn’t make room for a good player on our team.  She’d have to be elite.

Or, hear me out, a 45-mile separation could be the perfect distance. (Yes, I've been married a long, long time.)

As Pat Sajak says, check the board, please.

LOL - oops, sorry.

I went to Wesleyan and my wife went to Creighton. Been married 17 years. The choice is obvious. I have also reliably heard that this is not a foregone conclusion. 

[Silverbacked1]

Soooo where does he go next after she dumps his butt?  Maybe she liked the distance of Virginia to Omaha!

That interview gave me at least a sliver of hope. Miah was a helluva player HC. Saw him play several times. Glad to hear Traudt has one person in his circle that favors the good guys. Does anyone know if Traudt's sister is good enough for John Cook to consider?

She's #5 in Nebraska for the 2025 class.

Understatement. 

Great coach, too... GIPS is a tough place. 

In my opinion, I think it's a lot closer to 50/50 between us and Creighton than maybe meets the eye. I think it will come down to what the rosters look like at each place. 
Yes, I think his sister is definitely good enough for Cook to give a look at, no question.

He likely already know what he wants to do.  Any back-and-forth indecision publicity looks like an act—maybe to dispel any appearance of improper contacts before entering the portal.

Creighton has to have the room for him. Knowing what he wants to do and what will happen aren’t necessarily the same thing.  Also you are making big assumptions that schools were certainly cheating by making improper contact.

He could also be waiting to see how the Creighton roster shakes out.  If everyone comes back there will not be very many minutes left.

Is the expectation that if he comes here he's immediately a difference maker? Genuine question. Or are we viewing him as more as depth and then turning into a key starter for the 2024/25 season?

I'd expect him to be a significant contributor right away. He averaged 12 ppg in Virginia's trip to Italy last summer. Then he chose to redshirt, bulked up to 235 pounds and was coached by Tony Bennett for a year.

This. Only thing I can add is that he was expected to be a key contributor for UVA next year based on how well he was playing on the scout team while redshirting.

I'm hearing he is planning on committing to CU as early as tonight.  His high school coaches and parents want him to come to NU but his girlfriend is wanting him to come to CU instead.

Hopefully it happens quickly so we can move on.  I didn't like how long Baylor drug things out last year.

OK, so now we get to see if he's a good son who honors his father and his mother or if he's whipped.

I’m putting money on that he’s whipped.

Some young/single poster want to slide into that chicks DM's?  If he doesn't have her, it's an easy choice.  LOL.

CU has an open scholarship. They were docked one this past year due to the whole paying players before it was legal thing.

You can't spell Creighton without CHEAT.  That is, if you misspell Creighton.
