It can be tough getting local kids to come to play basketball at Nebraska when there are two other Division I schools around. Well, UNO is a Division I program but they’re really not the threat to recruiting like Creighton is. No offense to the Mavericks. Derrin Hansen is a good coach and has the team playing well but they’re not quite there to battle for top in state talent.
What is even nicer is when you take one from the preparatory school which is historically connected to the Jesuit school of higher learning.
Well, he wasn’t actually recruited by Creighton but that shouldn’t matter.
