Creighton star Doug McDermott will be returning to college for his senior year, and is it a big deal? Just ask Creighton head coach Greg McDermott.
“Obviously we will have one of the best players in college basketball and that’s a huge plus,” said coach McDermott, Doug’s father. “I’ll be able to coach my son that’s obviously important to me and something I’ll look back on as a special time. I hope we can compete for a league title. It’s a tall task.”
His son was the second leading scorer in Division one basketball last year, and do not be surprised if he jumps up to number one next year.
Creighton will be moving to the Big East next year, which was apparently one of the reasons that McDermott will return next year.
“He’s a marquee player, he’s one of the best if not the best player in America,” said Xavier’s Chris Mack. “The league will have its hands full. I’m petitioning to have Creighton return to the MVC one final year so Doug can set all their league records.”
Mack will likely be disappointed and do not be surprised if McDermott breaks a couple Big East league records next year. He had a phenomenal season that just did not last long enough for my taste. We’ll see what he can do next year.
