Alan Huss was hired as Creighton's head coach in waiting, making Greg McDermott's time frame even shorter for the longtime head coach.

“We are excited to add Aleksa to our program,” Creighton head coach Greg McDermott said. “His size and skill set is a great fit for our offensive system. He will also provide rim protection on the defensive end of the floor. His work ethic and desire to improve were evident when he visited Omaha. We look forward to having him in a Bluejay uniform!”
