First-year head coach Alan Huss had a good offseason at Creighton Basketball, bringing back multiple key rotation pieces from last season and having a five-man transfer class that filled holes both at center and in the backcourt.

Among the notable perimeter pickups for the Bluejays were Wes Enis (16.4 ppg and 2.4 apg at South Florida), BJ Davis (10.8 ppg and 2.2 apg at San Diego State), and Kayden Edwards, who averaged 3.2 ppg in 14 games as a freshman at TCU. The commonality is that they’re capable scorers, but certainly not pass-first point guards. And having any of them as the lead guard could cause growing pains in the offense if the ball doesn’t move consistently.

However, thanks to various 5-for-5 eligibility-based lawsuits, dozens of players are potentially eligible to play this upcoming season and are free agents. That includes a few ball-handler free agents, one of whom Creighton was able to get a commitment out of.

Brody Robinson is a 5’10 guard from Houston, Texas, who played at four schools in four years. He broke out at Oakland this past season, leading the team with 17.6 ppg and 6.7 apg, shooting 41% from the field and 37% from three-point range on 6.4 attempts. He was on the court all the time (36 mpg) and had four games of at least 25 points, including a career-high 36 points in the Horizon League Tournament loss to Northern Kentucky.

Robinson also impacted the game with his passing. He led the Horizon League in assists, ranking 11th in the country overall in that category. The veteran had five games with double-digit assists, including 19 points and 13 assists in a win over IU Indy. 

Having Robinson as the starting guard would help the Bluejays on offense, giving them a true playmaker and allowing the other guards to score off-ball. The concern is that he’s not a great defender, which could show up in Big East play, and he's also not a great shooter. 

He may not fully work out moving up a level, but this is an easy risk to take for the Bluejays, capping off what’s been a good offseason for the program as they look to bounce back into postseason contention.
