Norm Peterson Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I knew I shouldn't have looked at his twitter feed...oof... Also, I have noticed a recurring theme among those nerds, in which they say nearly every single potential prospect (especially those in the ESPN top 100) would be a "perfect fit for the system (we) run". Well, no shit Sherlock, they are a "perfect fit" because they are among the most talented athletes in the country. They're gonna "fit" into any system! I looked at his twitter feed too. Very informative. For example, I learned that Creighton finally has a pool table in their players' lounge. It has blue felt on it with the Toronto Bluejay's logo in the middle of it.

People's obsession with Creighton is mind-numbing and pathetic. This is a Glynn Watson thread. Go post a topic somewhere else if you want to talk about Creighton's fan base.

And yet the discussion is directly related to Glynn Watson and a Creighton fan's take on his recruitment, not a generalized discussion about their entire fan base. Now, back to the kudzu discussion.... Or was that in the D'Jery Baptiste thread? 49r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanigan123 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I thought the deal closer was the CWS? Lol. If he makes it to Creighton for a visit it will be boring, they will all be here for the football game. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKamdyMan Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 so the article came out and its down to NU, CU, and Tennessee. Says he may just take the two visits hes scheduled but if he takes one and its the right fit he may just pull the trigger on the visit. throwback, hhcmatt, ShortDust and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow that doesn't seem quite as ... encouraging? ... as the lead up to the article being posted. Before it was "shine the cowbell, he's committing on his visit." Now it's "there is a definite possibility that he might commit while on his visit; otherwise, he's down to us and two other teams." I liked the whole "shine the cowbell" vibe so much better.

I liked the whole "shine the cowbell" vibe so much better. so the way I look at it was the article is done by a national Rivals guy that has to be neutral. He then came over and posted he wouldnt be surprised, based on the convo, to have him commit after the visit. So the article actually doesnt portray what he truly feels and then with the redblooded post coupled with it, you start to think its a done deal.

OurDecay Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Of the group of White, Watson and Morrow...if you had asked me a couple months ago I would have thought Watson was easily the least likely to be a Husker. I felt like White just made sense and we had the Hunter relationship, and I still do think there's tons of factors pointing towards Morrow ending up in Lincoln. But Watson, as far as I know, didn't have any built-in "in" that gave NU an advantage. This one is straight-up out-recruiting your peers. And by peers, I'm talking about some legit D1 programs with better histories in basketball. So, if this does actually happen...to me its a game-changer. Its a major deal. Its selling your program on its own merits and just putting in the effort and work. Watson got his first scholarship offer from Purdue on December 6th, 2012. He has been on the radar of Big Ten schools for a long, long time. He is no zucchini. He is not long, lean and underrated. Dude is a consensus 4-star and top-100 player nationally.
