By ADAM ZAGORIA
Jackson McAndrew, the 6-foot-9, 210-pound Class of 2024 forward from Wayzata (MN) and the Howard Pulley EYBL team, has committed to Creighton, he told ZAGSBLOG ahead of his public announcement.
McAndrew also considered Xavier, Wisconsin and Notre Dame.
“I chose Creighton because of the coaching staff,” he said. “I have a really good relationship with all of them. I really like the play style and think it will be a perfect fit. The player development piece also was a big factor as the coaches have developed players like me and gotten them to the league.”
