2021 Tucker DeVries

[vivid_dude]

I love the loyalty to family. Good kid making a decision no one should question. I hope he crushes it.

Think about how cool this is if you were a Drake fan? It’s too bad they lost that big guy freshman to transfer.

On to Hunter Sallis, TyTy, Mason Miller, Traudt and some off-the-radar guys no one is talking about.

Congrats to Tucker, now lets go get Miller.

[CPJays]

Good for him, getting to play for his dad will be something he will never forget.

Lots of big time guys left on the board to snag.

[CreighTony]

Best of luck to him. It will be fun to follow both him and his father. Great family.

Yes good for Tucker. But there’s not too many guys left on the board. Sallis is going to Kentucky. Wesley is a heavy Notre Dame lean. It’s down to Mason Miller and TyTy Washington to round out one of the most important classes ever.

Jays also still in on Santos. He and Miller would be front court options at this point. The backcourt has two good pledges with Sallis or Washington taking it over the top. One front court and back court addition would make a fine class.

Can't fault him one bit for wanting to play for his dad. Rooting for him. I do wonder what would happen, though, if D-Rock goes on a two year tear and gets a job offer he can't refuse? Maybe Tucker could follow him, but would Tucker get a waiver? Or would D-Rock pass up that opportunity and stay at Drake? That'd be quite a gamble.
This really wasn't an issue with Mac since he wasn't a hot commodity until a few years after Doug graduated and by then we were long out of the Valley. It would be an issue for D-Rock.

The one-time free transfer rule will probably be in place before they have to worry about that.

We knew from the beginning that playing for his dad was likely the biggest competition in recruiting him. But we are in a pretty good spot still.

Christofilis is coming in 2021 also and gives us another shooter, and Rati's going to be gunning for minutes on the wing. Add in Antwan Jones and we'll have talent there for that following year.

TyTy Washington and Miller would be a great way to close the class out, but as we found out last year, we shouldn't overlook international signings and we are always looking at the transfers (although that's a mess right now). There may be other names that have come up as well. The lockdowns have made it harder for the recruiting services to do their job

[White&BlueDude]

I think Creighton fans moreso than anyone can understand a kind wanting to play for their dad in college. No hard feelings on this end, and there really shouldn't be any from other people on this board either.

Plenty of target on the board that we know about (probably even more that we don't).
