A New Page For CREIGHTON Soccer Supporters...

Will be driving down from Omaha sunday for this one for sure. It will be free on a feed from SMU. Jays will have Castillo and Jordan ready to contol the middle all game long and I hope we can jump on Ponies like we did against them at the Bradley tournament and then not give up two PK goals. Expect the Jays to be explosive coming off the solid win over New Mexico with the dynamic offensive and Holt our stopper.

 

It just happens in sports! Great season for the Jays now to see what occurs over the off season, some FC Dallas scouts were drolling over some Jays.

 

According to Buzz at 3rd degree, Finlay may be looking to leave. This doesn't mean that it'll come to fruition nor can I verify the statement...

Here's the quote and the link.

 

There seems to be interest in looking at Europe as well, next two weeks will determine the final outcome, many choices brewing. Have heard a number of MLS teams are high on Ethan right now.

 

I stumbled on this article from Creighton JuCo recruit Whitney Browne.

Sounds like he's a very good player who only went the JuCo route because he didn't have the test scored coming out of HS to play D-I.

It will be interesting to see where he fits in with all of Creighton's returning attackers.

 

Creighton loses head coach Clark to Washington:

Wow. I did NOT see that coming.

Damn.

 

I wonder if any Creighton players will go to Washington with Clark.

Couldn't blame them if they did since otherwise they're looking at their third head coach in as many seasons. (Which is a good reason to hire Torres to keep the continuity.)

Also, I hope Clark didn't discourage any of the Creighton players from going pro this winter only to see him up and leave. That would be bad karma.

 

I personally am pulling for Johnny as the HC. As to the topic of Clark taking any CU players to Udub? I doubt it. Creighton might lose a few recruits but I doubt any current student would follow Jamie. None of them were "his players" anyways.

Creighton got a few transfers from Indiana and St. Louis. Both are from the Omaha area and I doubt they were just coming back to be coached by Jamie, they were coming home, and our JUCO forward was recruited by Creighton before Jamie was ever here, Browne was someone always on our radar.

 

Wow! Jamie only stayed for a year. I wonder if his asst coaches will move, as well.

As an aside, I generally think that a coach should move to a more challenging opportunity to meet his goals. I think Clark only staying for 1 year at Creighton is a little much.

 

Another note of interest is if some kids recruited by Warming land at Penn State, at least they know his style of play and have built a relationship. This would be a big deal for PSA if a few CU boys left for the Big 10.

 

has anyone heard a peep about the coaching change? last I heard, Johnny and 2 others were finalists for the job. No other word since. Who else did CU interview? Kranjc?

 

I called CU and just asked when they are announcing it. They told me tomorrow--unless something unforeseen happens. (whatever that means...?!) I think with some sweet talking, the chick who answered may divulge more than you think....I since I here that you are good at that sort of thing Matt, I think you should give it the ol' college try!!

 

Bolowich leaving UNC to go to Creighton...stunner!! Congrats to Creighton.
