South Dakota St. transfer Baylor Scheierman commits to Creighton

South Dakota State transfer Baylor Scheierman has committed to Creighton, he tells On3.

“I picked Creighton because I feel like I fit in perfectly with how they play and I feel like I can help elevate the team, even more, to ultimately do the things that they want to do and I want to do. And to make it more special it would be at home.”

Scheierman, a 6-foot-6 guard, ultimately chose the Bluejays over Arkansas, Clemson, Duke, and Nebraska. He also received interest from Kentucky, Kansas, Mississippi State, Texas, and Wake Forest.

Last year at South Dakota State, Baylor Scheierman averaged 16.2 points, 7.8 points and 4.5 assists. The Jackrabbits finished with a 30-5 overall record and 18-0 record in conference play. They appeared in the NCAA Tournament as a No. 13 seed and fell to Providence in the first round.

Scheierman is a rising senior with two years of college eligibility. He graduated from Aurora High School out of his home state Nebraska in 2019, averaging 22.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game as a senior. He came out of high school as a two-star basketball recruit and did not hold any scholarships from high-major programs.
