Matt DeMarinis recently sat down with Creighton men’s basketball standout Ryan Kalkbrenner for an exclusive episode of our premium Bluejay Beat podcast, featured exclusively on Patreon,
DeMarinis and the defending Big East Defensive Player of the Year take a deep dive into:
- The turning point in his sophomore season when everything clicked
- How he dealt with his season-ending knee injury
- His rehab and where he’s at now
- Breaking down his game
- Team expectations heading into 2022-23
Kalkbrenner and his teammates are hosting Creighton fans for a “Bird Club Madness” event Friday, September 16. This preseason showcase — think dunk contests, three-point shootouts, autographs, etc. — will raise funds for the men’s basketball Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) collective.
