Last year, Greg McDermott snagged a diamond from the proverbial rough, recruiting Division II standout Ryan Hawkins to Creighton. Hawkins started every game for the Bluejays last season and won all-conference honors.
Shaka Smart hopes he found another diamond in Loyola-New Orleans’ Zach Wrightsil.
No player accomplished more last season than Wrightsil. The 6-7 forward led the Wolf Pack to a National Championship while winning NAIA Player of the Year.
