Creighton continues to score in Texas
Greg McDermott and the Creighton Bluejays are hot in the state of Texas. Already the owners of commitments from Texans Geoff Groselle and Nevin Johnson, the Jays added a commitment from a third Texan, Austin Chatman on Monday night.
A slippery 5-foot-11 point guard who is an on the floor leader, Chatman hails from The Colony (Texas) High and is a three-star prospect. He cited comfort with the school, staff and in particular the job done by assistant coach Steve Lutz.

"I felt comfortable there, I just felt happy," said Chatman of his decision. "I really like the staff. Also, if it wasn't for Coach Lutz I might not have thought about them. I knew him from SMU and he did a great job recruiting me and developing a relationship."
Chatman played his summer ball with Deron Williams Elite and said that the chance to play with fellow Texans didn't hurt either.
"It really did help because I actually know some of those recruits," Chatman told Rivals.com. "I played against Nevin and I played with Geoff. That really helped."
"I feel like I'll do a real good job up there. I'm just going to keep working on my game to get better."
