Who talks to Creighton fans? 

Perfect, I was going to let ALL you closeted Bluebird fans know I’ve got a Kevin McKenna Lakers jersey for sale if you’re interested…

There is only one ball.  Creighton seems to flourish by playing team ball.  Sooo, it may end up being an interesting dynamic if Baylor insists on playing hero ball.  Hey, I am sure they will make it happen...right?

He is not a hero ball type player at all these days.

Baylor Scheierman vs Sam Griesel in 3 games this season.

 

Sam - 19 ppg, 4 apg, 5 rpg

Baylor - 18.6 ppg, 3.6 apg, 6 rpg

 

Just wanted to take a moment to pump up our boy...

He got the better of it by far in the championship game as well. 
 

If it weren’t for him being an Aurora kid and watching him play so much I wouldn’t care.  This is a nightmare scenario for me, being a big fan of his and despising Creighton so much.

Made 13.7 million dollars this year but hey no big deal we all do that right

$45.7 million in his career, so far. 

I had no clue if he was still playing or not, why I asked.

And he's satisfied with attending a shithole university. There's just no accounting for taste.

 

Your point may ring true, but they have an established culture and we don't. Baylor committed to that more than anything based on his exit interviews that I've seen.

I think the reality was that he wanted to finish on a team that should be pretty good, we can’t guarantee that at this time.  Creighton can so…

 

now I need to go take a bath in bleach for saying that…

I honestly think if we’re at least a competent team this past year he chooses DONU. We need to show progress.

Well, Dirk just wrote an article with the headline: With Baylor’s addition, Jay thinking National Chanpionship…

Also, my Jay alum coworkers who are big time boosters said Baylor cost 400k 

Not a terrible investment if he gets them a National Title

How much do you think Kyle Korver or Rodney Buford would go for these days…???

I remember Rodney coming to a basketball camp I attended as a 10-12 year old in Grand Island. First time I saw someone do a windmill dunk in real life and I’ve been cursing my sub-6-foot genes since.

If Dirk wasn't a pathetic little twit, I would be concerned about that article.

Siggghhhh, It is time that this thread is put to bed. 

ALTHOUGH, it is important to note that he has NOT YET removed his name from the NBA draft list.  In a subversive/stealth move, he may leave Creighton wondering what could have happened if he chooses to jump!

And just for the record, this is not a sour grapes "we didn't want him anyway".  That's not the case at all.  I think we probably could have used Baylor Scheierman the player, absolutely.  But we probably are NOT ready for "The Baylor Scheierman Experience" as it has apparently become.  So, with that I say congrats Creighton, tip my hat, and go on.  

 

Good players can be high maintenance. One of the points to hiring Fred Hoiberg is that he should have the gravitas to handle personalities as needed. Otherwise we might as well save some money by hiring some Pat Chambers type and try to make the NIT this decade.

A lot of times you can recruit a kid by saying we need your help to get better.

Today we just saw what happens when you can't land a guy who would be happy to come here because realistically the FH era has been a trainwreck and there is no guarantee it can or will improve.

I hope he has the same shi**y NBA career as Doug McDermott…

 

I hope he has a great career starting this year!

Based on our current roster, it's not looking promising.

As much as I hate Creighton, they will be easily a preseason Top 10 team and possible a top 5 team.  They have all the right pieces to make it to the Final Four.  Granted, they have only won 2 games in the NCAA tournament once but they certainly are a team that could make alot of noise this year.

It's typically been hard to keep them all on the plantation after about January.

If Rodney Buford was being recruited today he would go to a school in Colorado with a big time deal with one of the dispensaries.

Let's go Baylor.

So, let's say you're a highly sought after transfer kid who grew up in Nebraska and you're now in the transfer portal with your pick of a lot of places. Do you go ...

 

a) to a local program where the head coach has won an average of 8 games per season for the last 3 seasons; OR

 

b) somewhere else?

 

I don't feel like I'm in any position to judge Baylor Scheierman's choice here.

 

We need to earn the respect we want. Start winning some games and we'll start landing players like this. Until then, we really have no business complaining that he didn't pick us. Hell, I wouldn't pick us at this point.

Agreed.  If I was in his shoes, no way would I have picked NU over Creighton and I hate Creighton.
