Incoming senior averaged 11 points per game last season
OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton men's basketball team signed guard Jamiya Neal on Wednesday, April 24. A 6-foot-6 guard from Toledo, Ohio, Neal played the previous three seasons at Arizona State and will have one year of eligibility remaining.
Neal scored 565 points, grabbed 315 rebounds and dished 119 assists in 93 games at Arizona State. He started 31-of-32 games as a junior in the recently-completed 2023-24 campaign, averaging career-highs with 11.0 points 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. After making 29 total three-pointers in his first two years as a Sun Devil, Neal drained 39 trifectas this past season. Neal ranked 15th in the Pac-12 in minutes per game (32.7) and was 18th in rebounds per game.
"We are excited to add Jamiya to our program," said Creighton head coach Greg McDermott. "His blend of skill and athletic ability was exactly what we were searching for. His work ethic and desire to improve will fit perfectly with our roster. We can't wait to get him to Omaha!"
Neal joins incoming freshmen Ty Davis, Larry Johnson and Jackson McAndrew as newcomers for 2024-25, a group that ranks among the top 20 recruiting classes nationally.
Creighton finished the 2023-24 season with a 25-10 record, matching its most wins in a season since 2016-17. The Bluejays made their third trip to the Sweet 16 in the past four seasons and were one of three teams to defeat eventual national champion Connecticut. CU was ranked 10th in the year-end USA Today Coaches poll and 13th in the year-end Associated Press poll.
