The Bluejay Underground: A Creighton Sports Message Board

Nyatawa mentioned in his article, and I can confirm the Jays have reached out to Mark Donnal. Donnal is a highly skilled, athletic and intelligent big man who was squeezed out at Michigan. Would be an ideal big man for the system with JP's departure. Donnal can run the floor and averaged solid numbers when ( 8 & 4 in 20mpg) last season. Former 4 star big man from Ohio is a grad transfer, one to play, eligible immediately.

Jays get first visit this weekend!

Really hope we land him, he's probably the best grad transfer big on the market for our system.

Sure seems like a good fit from both sides. The article mentions style of play and available playing time which Creighton checks both boxes. Red shirting Epperson would still be an option and you can reuse the scholarship next year. Hoping this happens.

I've never seen him play as I didn't watch Michigan a single time this past season. We need a player his size though.

If you wanted to see him play a big role you should have watched him two season ago. He's the dude that drove Ricky Doyle to transfer. Then DJ Wilson and Moe Wagner blew up and pushed him into a reserve role too and here we are.

Just watching some of his game film. He runs the floor well and has a nice pick and roll game. Would love to pick him up.

Hope Mark is having a great visit. Be a Jay and be part of a truly historic class. Go Jays!

very quiet on how mark's weekend at Creighton went--could definitely use a big like him on this roster next year.
