PG Andre Yates - 2012 Creighton commit

[TrueBlueJay]

CU is out of rides except for the "Doug Scholarship".

GMac has publicly stated (I'm pretty sure of that being a public statement but not absolutely sure) that if an extraordinary opportunity presented itself he would pay Doug's way for the last two years.

That really shouldn't be a surprise. He can more than afford it and if it benefitted the BJs it would make plenty of sense.

I do not know if that is legal. There are probably ways to make it work, especially since Doug is his kid, but I think the NCAA scrutinizes this kind of stuff. I know they look very closely at walkons that receive academic scholarships. They look hard at that stuff. It's one of those things that might work easily at Kentucky, Duke, Kansas or North Carolina, but if a Creighton or Utah State tried it, it would prompt an NCAA investigation.

You not know if it is legal doesn't matter one iota. It is totally "legal" for him to pay the way for his own son.

No discussion needed here, move along.

Nice get! Doesn't CU have a freshman PG that is supposed to be pretty good?

Austin Chatman. The kid I wanted to see in a WSU uniform pretty badly....

As far as Yates, that is a very nice get. It doesn't really matter how he ended up at Creighton, just that he did.

I hope that maybe it increases our chances at getting Hawkins. Maybe if he can't play WITH Yates he wouldn't mind at least playing in the same conference??!! It's gonna be hard to get him out of Dayton though IMHO.
