2015 IA G Marlon Stewart (Signed)

He is coming in as a point guard, correct?

PG and combo guard, I believe. I think he can play both the 1 and 2, and is a great fit for a team with Mo Watson having a couple of years to play after Chatman graduates.

they have been caught flat footed by both CU verbals.

Outside of the staff who hasn't?

Eric Bossi and Ryan James. .

Bunch of article links in the Twitter traffic also.

Per Eric Bossi (Rivals):

He is an athletic and strong combo guard who can shoot pretty well from deep. Was set to really blow up a bit in late July but got sidelined by injury. For instance, I had two guys that I spent the few days before I went to Vegas sweating that their names would get out before I could see them again and write about them, Kerwin Roach and Stewart. I'm not saying that Stewart would have blown up to the level Roach did, but he was definitely a guy I wanted to be the first to really write about based off the little I got to see of him in April and what coaches told me they saw from him in early July.

Definitely somebody I'm watching closely for the Rivals150 through his senior season.

That meshes with what I've heard from several folks.

He has the talent and size (6'3" 195lb PG as a HS player) to be a Rivals150 guy, but got hurt before the late summer evals took place. I would expect Marlon to be in the next version of the Rivals150. Again, the staff has exhibited an incredible knack for finding guys that are just slightly under the radar at the time, but end up being top players.

I think there is a legitimate chance that our class ends up with 3-4 Rivals150 guys.

Where did you get 6'3" 195? 6'1" 200 is what I saw on the commitment stories.

Different places are listing different heights. Verbal Commits 6-3, Rivals 6-1, 247 6-1, IowaPreps 6-3, Bradley board 6-2, etc., Rivals commitment article says 6-2, QuadCity times article says 6-2, 195,

On film I don't think he's 6-1, he looks bigger than that to me, but I could just be factoring in the typical size adjustment for everyone adding an inch or two In any case, he's a big physical guy at PG and big enough IMO to play the 2 without a sweat.

This guy makes CU's class rival Nebraska's?

This guy makes CU's class rival Nebraska's?

Just for clarity's sake, why does a Nebraska fan come onto a Creighton message board on a Saturday night? Nothing better to do? Did you decide to go crazy because the wife and kids are away?
