That depends on how you define "fine" and "good players". I certainly think neither is a guarantee.

Whenever someone gets into definition of words, it is hardly worth posting, in my opinion. Semantics is a waste of time.

Maybe this is more to your liking...
I think it's still very much up in the air if these two will be "fine" and "good players". If they do go to Creighton I think that's a positive sign, but from the impression I've gotten I wonder if Jarreau will have a difficult time adjusting and embracing what I believe is a very different program at Creighton than the one DK was running here.

That's fantastic that you think that! I think otherwise. I'm not sure why you felt the need to challenge what I thought initially, but god bless!

Deeky seemed to deteriorate as the season progressed. He needs a coach who can help him succeed. He doesn't know how to do it on his own.

It will be incredibly interesting if they go to Creighton -- McDermott is the anti-DK (which is a good thing in my book).

or possibly mccall but that was too easy. why someone would leave the Amherst social scene as a D1 athlete for Omaha Creighton of all places escapes me. he seemed to enjoy the scenery here. bygones.

Can anyone find a starting UMass point guard in the past 30 years who was statistically worse than DeJon Jarreau?

First of all - have you ever been to Omaha? It is better than you think, secondly this.......

Well there are 5 bars, but is still a pretty small number for 20,000+ kids.....
