OK.

[ShockTalk]

OK.

Is that an "OK!!!!" or "OK???" or "Meh, OK" or a simple "OK" which didn't need stating. :confused:

Creighton received all three expected LOI's yesterday. Their recruiting class is probably complete. Isaiah Zierden probably leads the class as a Rivals' three star 6-1 SG. A good outside shooter, he had offers from George Mason, Jacksonville, Manhattan and Wofford before giving CU a verbal in August. Tevin Calhoun is a juco 6-4 SF. Others involved were Texas-Arlington and Arkansas- Little Rock. Andre Yates, the 5-11pg and friend of Teddy Hawkins had Cleveland State, Dayton, Nebraska and Moorehead State after him when he committed. We have a thread on Andre.

I won't start threads on these guys at this time but based upon social networking we might have some interest.

Keyshawn Woods, a 6-2 guard at Gaston Day in Gastonia, N.C. He averaged over 21 points as a freshman. Recently he took an unofficial to Clemson. Class of 2014.

David Baety, a 6-4 SG at Apopka, Florida. I could find interest from Chattanooga, Campbell and St. Bony. Class of 2012.

Chris Horton, a 6-8 PF from Decatur, Georgia. Offers from Chattanooga, Greensboro, Gardner-Webb and Austin Peay. Class of 2012.

Chris Horton signed with Austin Peay.

Remember Marquise Carter, EO's teammate at 3 Rivers we thought would come to Shocker Nation? Instead we ended up with Joe Ragland. Carter started off his senior season at Gonzaga shooting 2 for 11 from the field with 5 turnovers.
