Creighton made the Sweet Sixteen last year and is one of the best programs in the Big East, which is probably consistently the third-best conference in college basketball after the Big 12 and the Big Ten.
That's a pretty significant win right there.

They also had playing time to sell, too. I would guess quite a few other programs kicked the tires on Tristan but I'm very glad and excited TJ got him to come to Ames.
Beating Creighton for a basketball recruit right now is like beating Iowa for a football recruit.
Self-awareness is not a quality many in their fanbase possess.

Tristan Enaruna, Wasatch Academy , Small Forward
Tristan Enaruna is a 6-9, 205-pound Small Forward from Netherlands.247sports.com
Evan Daniels scouting report (2018): Has very good size but just has average length for a wing. A high-major perimeter prospect. Is an impressive athlete that gets off the ground with ease and quickness. Has good shot mechanics and a smooth, easy stroke. He’s also a good passer. The next step in his development is improving off the dribble, as he’s more of a straight-line driver at this stage. Also needs to get stronger.

I am liking this welcome news a lot. Especially in 2021.
Great pickup, don’t think the excitement is done for the week either...
TJ has hit it out of the park so far. A lot of the questions people (including myself) had had less to do with recruiting and more to do with competing with other B12 coaches on game day.
I will say he's surpassed even my wildest hopes to this point, and everything he and his staff have said have made me feel much more comfortable with the hire.
My only question on Tristan is that it seems like the rest of TJ's pickups have been gritty lunch pail types, whereas the knock on TE at Kansas was that he seemed too laid back. How's he gonna fit into the culture TJ is building here? Is the thinking that putting him in this environment will change/improve his mindset?
P.S. I'm still really excited about getting him, can't teach his talent.

Need a little silk to go with that grit. He’s a Euro. Don’t try to change the puzzle pieces, figure out how they fit together.
