NCAA Basketball: Where Will Grad Transfer Joe Cremo end up?

5. Creighton Bluejays

Pros

It’s good to note, that all five teams do have good guards already coming in, so the fit will be important. Far as the Bluejays are concerned, Cremo could easily slide in to replace the graduating Marcus Foster, and the former Great Dane is more than capable of playing at the point guard position. That would set up Kyhri Thomas to play more off-ball and the high-flying offensive system that coach Greg McDermott has will utilize Cremo’s skills to the highest potential.

Cons

Cremo isn’t the only grad transfer Creighton is going after, as South Dakota guard Matt Mooney also them on his shortlist. These two are essentially the same player, so if he commits before Cremo, then the Bluejays won’t be a contender.

The other factor will be about winning, as Cremo has yet to experience the NCAA Tournament. Gonzaga, Texas, and Oregon all will have higher ceilings next year and Creighton will still be projected around a 6-8 seed even with him arriving.

And of course, Thomas still has yet to officially come back to the Bluejays. If he stays in the NBA Draft, then Cremo will probably end up elsewhere. Creighton is in a tough spot because other dominoes will have to fall first before this becomes a realistic option.
