Any Creighton Recruits coming to Oregon?
Rivals lists two guys as verbally committed to Creighton without letters of intent, Jahenns Manigat a PG from Ottawa, Ontario and Tyrone Nared a SF from the Bronx. Anyone know if either of these guys would follow Altman to Oregon?

Manigat, a 6'2/160 PG, apparently signed with Creighton 2 days ago... IMO, the kid from Las Vegas may be a better get, if he is interested.
Nared, a 6'8/220 SF, may not be in the same class as either Polee or Jones. It's hard to tell. He would be adding to the junior class for next year, so that would not be a plus, IMO. He also apparently signed on the 22nd.
He didn't play his senior year of HS, then sat out his freshman season at CCRI, in order to concentrate on academics, according to this article, posted 1/30/09:

“He’s 6-foot-8 and he can handle the ball better than average,” the coach said. “He has perimeter player skills. He is not really a post player. He still shoots 3s well. What we like to do is put Tyrone on the baseline at the start of the game. Then he stretches it out as the game goes on, shooting some 3s, getting some rebounds. He’s averaging around 9 rebounds per game and he ranks 8th in the country in NJCAA Division II with 2.68 blocked shots per game.”
Here's another, posted 3/1/09 (I can't find anything newer):

If nothing else, he’s made his parents proud. He is the youngest of seven kids, with a father who drives a bus for RIPTA and is a pastor at a senior center on Sundays, and a mother who works with disabled children, and he’s the first child to go to college. He’s also come to learn that this is the start of real life. "I didn’t take anything seriously when I was in high school," he said, "but I’m not a kid anymore."
