Surprise... Way to get on the board for 2017's class.

Damn fine pickup Jays. Just a curiosity, but you picked up a player in the 2016 class who is also top 50 on some sites, right? Have you ever had that in back-to-back classes before?
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Class of '16

Not that I'm aware of. Benoit Benjamin was probably the highest rated recruit ever at Creighton. This is huge for Coach Mac as his biggest question mark was probably recruiting as previous top 100 recruits were under the radar (Harrell) or local (Patton) at the time of commitment. Alexander represents the first recruit that was highly ranked and sought after during his recruitment.

We managed to totally turn over our entire roster with terrific players, but with some of us, it was NOWHERE NEAR enough; Alexander represents the first recruit that was highly ranked and sought after during his recruitment, allowing all of us with less robust constitutions to finally sleep at night.
Fixed your post to reflect things more accurately.
But yeah, I think it's safe to say we're pretty pumped across the board about this one.

I read that Alexander is the top 2017 shooting guard in North Carolina.
I also read that he was considered a lock for Virginia Tech, Buzz Williams, and Buzz Williams' clipboard.
How cool is that... congrats Jays!
