South Dakota State Jackrabbits guard Baylor Scheierman has announced he will transfer to the Creighton Bluejays. Despite transferring he is still declared for the 2022 NBA Draft and his goal is to stay in the process. If the news he gets isn’t what he’s hoping for then he will head to the Creighton Bluejays. Scheierman is considered a top transfer on the market and selected the Creighton Bluejays over the Duke Blue Devils, Clemson Tigers, Arkansas Razorbacks, and Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Creighton was already the frontrunner in the Big East entering next season. With the addition of Baylor Scheierman, the Bluejays just became a team that will be in the national championship conversation.

Told me he will go through the draft process and then make a decision whether to go pro or play at Creighton.
Creighton is a Top 3-5 Preseason Team with Scheierman in the fold. https://t.co/mta6DT51X4

The Creighton Bluejays were already considered a top ten team heading into the season, but with the addition of Baylor Scheierman, they will be considered National Championship contenders. The team put the Big East on notice last season while injured and next season they will be going for the final college nets of the college basketball season.
