Bluejays Review

D usually precedes offense. Foster is the real deal - has gotten in better shape/conditioning and supposedly begun to play defense. Patton merely needs to rebound aggressively and selectively block a few shots. His offensive will mainly be garbage cleanup - dunks, hooks, and 2nd chance tips/putbacks.

I'm not worried about Justin on offense, we will have more than enough options to go to for scores (Mo, Marcus, Cole). I think he'll be most valuable offensively in transition. He can get up and down like a guard, and with those hands, he should make a real pretty target for our guards on the break.

Defensively I have two main concerns:

1. That he's not bulky enough to body up ANYONE

2. He lets his shortcomings on that side of the ball affect his overall confidence

Outside of that, echoing what GTMO said, garbage points, snagging a few boards a game with some nice blocks mixed in. Sky's the limit for the dude but he's gotta keep learning the game and improving his body

You never want to say this about a 21 year old, but I expect the world of Marcus. Physical specimen are the best words to describe him. He reminds me of Jaylen Brown in that he's so big in the upper body, but he still has great quickness and agility. Mo was the first guard we've had in a few years that was comfortable driving it to the hole and we get another next year with Marcus. McDermott has said he's the best defender on the team. Pair him with Mo and you have a really great storyline for the big east next season - potentially best guard duo in the country?

Khyri and Ronnie should both see their play elevate to another level. Huff ended the year on a great tear and really stepped up his intensity on the boards and on defense. Very anxious to see how next season goes for creighton.

An article for you guys...

Kaleb is a good kid...had a VG attitude this year after he realized he wasn't going to play much. Never heard any negative reports about him. He should have been Redshirted his 1st year but Cuse had to play him out of necessity after Tyler Ennis unexpectedly went pro after his Rookie year. Kaleb tends to get "Deer in the Headlights" look at times in action. I think one year sitting out should do him well. He needs to work on his shooting and his decision making. He could turn into a quality starter for your team. I just don't see the NBA in the future.

He won't be be shocked by the Nebraska weather...that is for sure...as NE is sunnier in the Winter than Upstate NY.

Love to see Cuse play Creighton in a H/H series. Of course my son is a pilot out at Offutt...so I would have an instant excuse to see the away game in Omaha.

He's bigger and more athletic than Cane Broome, i like this move by Creighton.
