Re: ISU v. Creighton BBALL | |
Creighton is a good solid program. They've benefited greatly from stability in their head coaching position in the last 13 years. The same can't be said for us. We've gone through Floyd, Eustachy, Morgan, and are now on Mac. That's our 4th coach in a decade and that can't be good for stability.
As far as talented recruits coming in, I'd say we're even. Creighton hasn't pulled in a Fizer or Brackins type recruit (McDonald's AA or very highly touted recruits), but they've been solid and developed talent. We've had some lean years recruiting, again mostly due to coaching turnover and program stability. In my mind, Creighton has been consistent whereas we've been all over the place in recruiting. We've had great years and then we've had terrible years recruiting.
I think we're in a better conference, no doubt. I know the MVC has become very good the past few years, but I still think the Big 12 is on a different level. Top to bottom there is more talent in the Big 12. The MVC is very good though.
I say bring on the Bluejays! It would be a fun series and I'd definitely travel to Ames or Omaha to see the game.
