Center Aleksa Dimitrijevic on Campus!!
Jays add a Late Addition to team- 20 y/o Turkish Ctr Kerem Konan.
Your Creighton Bluejays just added some insurance to the questionable depth/lack of depth in the pivot today. Two excellent european players for the pivot. Both have been cleared by the NCAA.
1. Serbian Frosh Ctr Aleksa Dimitrijevic has arrived on campus in Omaha, as of August 15th . Fresh off the FIBA U19 competition in Europe. Highly regarded, talented, & skilled, Aleksa is deemed an able replacement for the departed Ryan Kalkbrenner.

2. August 17th (today) – The Jays sign a 20 y/o Turkish center with plenty of experience. Kerem Konan has been a consistent feature on Turkish National Teams since 2021 (U18, U19, U20).

There had been some uncertainty as to whether or not Serbian Center Aleksa Dimitrijevic would be cleared by the NCAA. It is too late for portal acquisitions. Thus, the Jays went back to the EU, shopping for additional talent. The additions of both Aleksa and Kerem, add highly talented & experienced depth to the center position, a troubling concern after the departures of both Ryan Kalkbrenner and backup Fred King. The Jays had earlier signed U of Iowa transfer center Owen Freeman, who is recovering from surgery. Freeman should be cleared in October, but now will not be rushed into action.
Coach Huss had been reportedly back in Europe, beating the bushes for talent. His excursion has paid off handsomely with the Konan commitment.
