The Bluejay Underground: A Creighton Sports Message Board

News:

Lithuanian Modestas Kancleris tells ESPN he has committed to Creighton in the 2020 class. The 6'9 forward was released from his scholarship with Grand Canyon following the coaching change. Was a national team player at the U16 and U18 levels and a two time NBA BWB participant.

Alrighty.

Looks like a project for the Jays

Agreed, but given how full our "healthy" front court is, he's a nice insurance policy if Jacob can't come back and we have some type of injury there.

Ideal world is that he doesn't have to play this year and gets stronger, acclimated to the system and improves skills to enable him to contribute on the 21/22 team as a 4 or a 5.

Happy with this add at this stage of the game.

I've never seen a highlight film with so many misses. He needs a good film editor. That being said, he does run the floor well.

Cant go wrong with a Lithuanian

Nice project and insurance policy, hopefully he can develop similar to Krampelj without the injuries.

Kind of my thinking, although, to me he looks more like a 3/4 to me, even in our system. Who knows where he is now, he could have come a long way recently. He has the look of a player who has a lot of upside and growth still ahead.

some better highlights in a tweet from Nyatawa here:

Solidifies the frontcourt with 4 options now. Need to find a depth guard that can play next year now. 6'9 kid with really good length. It's nice to see how easy those dunks are with 2 hands.

Everything I’ve seen says he is a shooting guard.
