Originally posted by kochHead View PostTrue, but the 2.5 is really more like 2.75. He can play as soon as the Fall Semester ends, IIRC. So he should be able to play Mid December 2015. Effectively only missing a month of the season or so. Anyway, I am not picking nits here, just wanted to make the point that he will not miss 1/2 the games next season. Forgive me if this has already been covered.78-65

When I first saw that Frankamp had asked for his release, I was very skeptical about him transferring to the Shockers.
That said, I will support HCGM 100 percent in his efforts, and it appears as if he is interested in Frankamp.
Looking at Creighton's roster, I see they:
* have 4 slots open (and 2 verbal commits)
* look to need to spend one of those slots on a big (since Artino is a senior). I'm not convinced that a 'gang of four' could cover the PF and C positions to provide sufficient depth.
* have one slot left - for a SG and are recruiting about 5 guys.
I don't know who else Frankamp is considering, but would it be in the realm of the possible to be offering him a Malcolm like deal? Pay your way for a year and go on scholly after you've sat out? On top of that, if Creighton offered such a deal, it would be very expensive - requiring him to have housing (and a private Catholic school can't be cheap on a credit hour basis).
Would like to hear from anyone else with information regarding what other schools he might be considering and what their scholarship situation looks like.....
Note I have no idea whom else Frankamp might be considering and/or what their scholarship situation might be like.

Creighton is going to be in serious trouble, and they absolutely need a new high-volume scorer.
Creighton relies on a bandwagon fanbase. You can't go through a rebuilding process at Creighton, and they need something shiny to keep their attention.Originally posted by BleacherReportFred VanVleet on Shockers' 3-Pt Shooting Confidence -- ' Honestly, I just tell these guys to let their nuts hang.'

Originally posted by DJ06Shocker View PostIt is too late. NU knows it, CU knows it and even UNO knows it. McD will surprise everyone up there by taking another job after this year. He was always a good guy, and I'm sure a smart one. I hope SOOOOOOOO much that when he moves to another school, it happens to be Bradley... I just hope he makes a move before he has to go down with that sinking ship. If he comes back the the MVC, Creighton will hate him so much and that's why I want it.

Originally posted by DJ06Shocker View PostThat is a good point. Walking on at CU or at any out of state school would be much more expensive than walking on in-state at WSU. Obviously, he would get scholarship offers, but if for some reason he doesn't from the places he is considering, that would lend itself in WSU's favor.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!

I wonder if CU (post McBuckets) and Butler (post Brad Stevens) can have sustained success.
Maybe Dad McDermott should move on to DePaul and become the new Oliver Purnell, in more ways than one.

We do it here and manage to keep everyone happy, but is McD smart enough to pull off a Marshall? That would be the key question, as I think the recruiting season has unfolded enough if he suddenly slammed the door in his #1 SG recruit's face it would make him look foolish.
