Kaluma is heading to Creighton university to play for the blue jays. A former unlv recruit!!
I believe our roster is fullInteresting. GMac and TJ are tight, so I'm guessing TJ vouched for him. But it seems strange that we didn't go after him.
Not that full
Doesn't seem like TH had interest in any of the 10ish UNLV transfers.
Wonder if TJ agreed when he departed not to go after any of his existing UNLV players.
Either that or they weren't very good.

Probably considers Grill an ISU transfer (via UNVL via South Dakota State).Grill?
3 top 100 recruits and Hawkins transferring in. It still baffles me how unsuccessful McDermott was at ISU.
Garrett -- future NBA guy
Staiger -- 40%+ 3PT shooter
Gilstrap -- #1 JUCO in the country, Big 12 newcomer of the year
Brackins -- future 21st overall pick
Hamilton -- future NBA guy
---
Colvin -- 4* PG recruit
Christopherson - 40%+ 3PT shooter
Dendy -- 4* transfer recruit, would win CPOTY at Middle Tennessee State
That team somehow went 4-12 in the Big 12.
Watch a Creighton game now, and compare to his games at Iowa St. Night and Day difference. Props to the guy for changing his ways.3 top 100 recruits and Hawkins transferring in. It still baffles me how unsuccessful McDermott was at ISU.
Yep. McD issue at ISU wasn't recruiting it was player retention and not adjusting from MVC style of play to B12 style quick enough. McD learned from his time in Ames and was able to adjust the play style to fit the league at Creighton (though did get extra time back in MVC before moving to the Big East).
The Hawk in him didn't want to see ISU succeed, even if his job was on the line.3 top 100 recruits and Hawkins transferring in. It still baffles me how unsuccessful McDermott was at ISU.

I remember hearing an interview with McD shortly after coming to Creighton about his struggles at ISU. From the article, it sounded like the Wesley Johnson transfer fiasco (non-diagnosed fracture in ankle/foot and pushing him to play thru the pain) caused him to lose his way on how he dealt with his top-end talent. He started letting them do what they wanted for the good/bad of the team.Yep.
