He's an athlete that we hope develops into a difference maker and just about every Shocker fan would tell you pretty much the same thing. Nobody is saying he's going to step in and lead us to the Valley title.
We've been following Ehimen for a few years now and a lot of that was done in jest and frustration. He could very well develop into a dominate force, who knows. But nobody is claiming anything that far out with Ehimen. Unlike CU fans and the Rutgers reject. He's not the first BcS talent to transfer into the Valley.
But I don't see Creighton fans claiming anything other than being excited about having a post presence. The comment you made was over the top and baiting. This is supposed to be a board where that doesn't take place. In fact, you bashed Valley Talk for that stuff, but here you are doing exactly that. As for what LJay or any Creighton fans are saying about Eschenhoweveryouspellhisname, sure, he is from Rutgers and the Big Least. Sure, he was a promising player, hardly a reject, but I don't think anyone has said anything remotely to the level of claiming he will be the best post player since the advent of the three point line. I don't even know if they are claiming Eschenhoweveryouspellhisname to be All Valley. All I have seen, and that includes the local media that covers Creighton, is excitement that Creighton finally has a post presence, any presence. My guess is that the guy will be good, I would be hesitant to label anyone great that I haven't seen play in this league. I simply think that LJay feels the same way, glad that Creighton will have two post players and that with the addition by subtraction of Stinnett, the Bluejays will be better this year. I think he has some very valid points.
As a caveat, I have not read Matty P's board since The Altman McDermott coaching change. In general, I never read his drivel and only did then because of the Altman to Oregon, McDermott to Creighton, Lil' McDermott to Creighton and UNI fans pissed as hell, saga. That was some great reading! So if your point is based on something you read on the BJC where LJay was making Eschenhoweveryouspellhisname to be All World, then have at it!
