2015 JuCo G Malique Trent (TCU Commit)

[Jaysforlife23]

If Jays were to pick up this Trent JUCO, would they have to get rid of somebody in the offseason to make space for a schollie?

Yes, unless he decides to walk on.

Bump.

Trent will be visiting this weekend (along with Mulder).

So, the staff clearly has 1 or 2 scholarships left to hand out for 2015-2016. Going to be an interesting Spring.

Indeed. That clearly means that 1 or 2 will not be on scholarship next year. Apparently all 9 returning players were at practice on Monday, though. I guess they haven't had their post season meetings yet?
I wonder if someone is going to walk on to get a scholarship opened up?

Re: the bolded part, would be very surprised if anyone besides Groselle did so, and would be surprised if he/his family chose to do so, even if it is his 5th year. Don Zierden could surely afford to pay for his son (of course, so could loads of parents of D1 athletes), but it would be really bizarre to pass up free tuition for 2 years, especially so the team could add another guard or two. Seems much more likely that one or two guys are transferring out. Whether or not any of the returning players want to leave is a different matter.

Mulder and Trent are both top 20 Juco guys, per 247, and are 2 of the top 7 unsigned Juco guys. Very legit players, and either would represent an upgrade in overall team talent. A 247 prediction for Mulder to CU was made today. Not that those have worked out too well for Creighton in the past.

I'd agree with that assessment, but I'll hold out hope until someone does leave.
I'd also agree that Mulder and Trent would be major upgrades and would probably play immediately. That would allow us to not throw Stewart or Thomas into the fire and instead redshirt them if they needed time to develop.
As for 247, I won't believe it until it's come true.

247 prediction in our favor is a kiss of death.

Wait, are you saying that Marshawn Wilson, Cody Schwartz, Chris Clarke, and Matt McQuaid didn't commit to us?

[ZMagic30]

please don't bring those last two up ever again
