Micah Gordon becomes Creighton's highest-ranked recruit ever - ESPN

SC Next 100 point guard Micah Gordon has committed to Creighton, he told ESPN on Saturday, becoming the Bluejays' highest-ranked recruit in program history.

Gordon, one of the top 10 point guards in the 2027 class, chose the Bluejays over VCU and West Virginia, although he also took an official visit to Tennessee and an unofficial visit to Providence.

Defensively, he must extend his pick-up point sooner and apply more pressure. This helps him negate being exploited on defense, although he does a terrific job of rebounding down on the
