The Sky's the Limit for Blake Harper as He Heads to Creighton
After setting the MEAC ablaze with his record-breaking performances, the lean, lithe, and lethally gifted Blake Harper, Howard University's very own basketball phenom, has announced his intended transfer to Creighton University. In a tear-streaked video, Harper bared his soul, recounting his fiery journey through Howard, ultimately brandishing a vibrant Creighton jersey.
Harper, an unstoppable force who claimed the MEAC Freshman of the Year title and the prestigious Player of the Year award, combined with 18 eye-popping Freshman of the Week accolades during conference play, proved himself to be a genuine one-man show.
Boasting an average of 19.5 points per game and racking up double figures in 29 of his 32 outings, Harper put the MEAC on notice. His electrifying game helped him earn the top spot in scoring while finishing second in rebounding (6.3 boards per game) and fourth in assists (3.5 per game). The total package, Harper proved himself to be a force to be reckoned with on the court.
Beware the Pitfalls of Social Media:
Prior to his official announcement, a misguided rumor circulated the interwebs, claiming that Harper was headed to Maryland. This erroneous report, originating from the questionable Rob Reinhart account, was debunked as a troll account infamous for spreading false information about college basketball throughout the spring. Feeling the burn, Harper quickly quelled the rumor with a well-timed GIF and a resounding "nope!"
As he gears up for an unprecedented season with Creighton, Harper looks to emulate the Bluejays' well-documented success in the March Madness tournament. Despite a tough loss in the Big East tournament, the team finished the year with an impressive 25-11 record and a 15-5 conference mark, securing a coveted spot in the tournament. They triumphed over Louisville but ultimately succumbed to the persistent vigor of Auburn.
When the Game's on the Line, You Bet your Boots on Harper:
As a Creighton Bluejay, Harper aims to amplify the team's firepower, lending his offensive prowess and impacting the overall team dynamics. With his leadership skills, exemplified by the MEAC Player and Rookie of the Year titles, Harper poises himself as a key player in the Bluejays' quest for dominance in the Big East and beyond.
The complexity of deriving a clearly defined reason for his decision to transfer remains, but the allure of strong competition, expansive exposure, and the opportunity to raise his game to new heights at the collegiate level may well be the unspoken drivers behind Harper's choice. Creighton's stellar program in the Big East Conference combined with the prospect of competing against top-tier schools undoubtedly played a significant role in his decision.
