After the departure of both Justin Patton and Zach Hanson following the 2016-17 season, Creighton needed help in the middle. They got that help on Monday with the commitment of 6’10”, 225-pound center Manny Suarez, who played the last two seasons at Division-II Adelphi in Long Island, NY. Suarez is a graduate transfer who will be immediately eligible, and will play one season for the Bluejays.
Suarez averaged 9.4 rebounds and over two blocks a game last year at Adelphi, while shooting 55.2% from the floor and averaging 16.9 points a game. Now, obviously, those are DII numbers and should be taken with an enormous grain of salt.
