I didn't think we'd get him, but it sounds like Dayton PG Andre Yates has committed to Creighton.

A great get by the Jays. He is a lefty who will replace AY after next season (another lefty). Shot 51% from the field and 48% from 3 as a junior. Chose Creighton over Dayton, Nebraska, Morehead State and Cleveland State.

Not sure he really chose you over Dayton, but it's a good get.

I think after Dayton got Thomas, it was obvious that Yates would not be going there. But Yates is still a heck of a talent and a good get. The poster above you is an idiot. Had Thomas not picked Dayton, I'm convinced that Yates would have stayed home and played there.

I think you are correct, it was good fortune for us that Thomas picked Dayton and we got Yates but Dayton still wanted Yates to go along with Thomas and he chose CU.

No sense of humor today? On Twitter, Trop and myself follow alot of the same people and he is very conscientious of CU recruiting. No harm intended.

Fair enough. I'm sure Dayton would love to have two guards like that come in together. Maybe they thought they could still get Yates with the hometown angle. Thomas effectively eliminated Dayton and sometimes we'll take that. I know I've seen the same type of thing on our end. Heck, Early may have fallen into that group when SDSU got a verbal from a comparable guy.

ict - My bad. I'm posting between customers. Maybe I need to slow down a bit. Had I noticed who posted it, I'm sure it would have went differently.

Unless I'm dreaming, Valley coaches/teams seem to have upgraded their sights on recruiting. Obviously, ALL our recruits are All MVC when they commit. We usually all find out differently once they take the court. There are no secrets anymore. I would venture CU/WSU etc offer what, 40-50 kids per class? I can see the Valley turning the corner real quick regarding the NCAA's. Thoughts on recruits in the Valley?
