Creighton has received a crystal ball for 3 star Christofilis this morning by Brian Snow (94% right all time). From Seattle, has offers from Washington, Wash St, Oregon St, Colorado, and a few mid majors. ESPN, 247, and Rivals all have him as a 3 star prospect.

This guy can shoot the lights out. He was at one point the 45th best player in the 2021 class according to 247, but has been battling a few injuries which hasn't allowed him to get exposure on the AAU scene.

I know John and his family. I would love to see him in a Bluejay uniform.

The person I thought of when seeing his fallaway jumpers was Bob Portman, another West Coast guy. Not saying he's the next Bob Portman ....

This talks about his injuries and shooting skills:

Looks like we just offered yesterday. Looked up a few highlight videos. Likes to shot fake a ton and then create something better. Also moved without the ball well to find gaps in zones on lots of his highlights. We could use that.

The way his right leg kicks out on the 3 pointers looks like a reverse mirror image of Ballock's shooting style.

I love the pump fake. I recall Dana (I think it was Dana) once lamented after a game where we had a number of shots blocked that his Grandma could have blocked half those shots that night given we didn't pump fake a single time.

As recently as April 2019, ESPN had him as the 47th ranked player in the 2021 class. Injuries derailed him, but by all accounts, he's totally healthy.

His highlight package was solid. The best recent comp I could come up with, based on a few minutes of video, was Dante DiVincenzo. I'll take a Bizarro Mitch Ballock though.
