Creighton is good shape with La Lu's Australian big man. Mobile with good hands. Needs to add weight.

Let's hope we sign 2 from La Lu in the spring. Go Jays!

Yeah, starting up a connection with La lu with Epperson and Tugs would be awesome. Here is hoping.

Is it a concern to have 2 rides open if we land neither Tugs nor Epperson?

Mac and company have done real well in the transfer market. Maybe a 5th year guy that can play right away.
BTW I think we get Tugs

What other schools are in on Epperson? I would think if he comes to Creighton he would be a good bet to play minutes next season. And if Patton leaves.... then he will compete with Hegner for the starter I'd guess? Unless a 5th year transfer comes in. Damn.

It appears he has 23 D1 offers, including Creighton. I can't speak to the level of interest each of those schools has. Some of the schools that have offered include Texas, Oklahoma, Cal, Illinois, Iowa, and Marquette to name a few.

EDIT: According to this article from 18 days ago (https://goo.gl/nlgr66) Epperson said that Creighton, Illinois, Utah, and Purdue that are in pursuit.
