Alex O'Connell Is Transferring To Creighton After Junior Season At Duke

Last month I wrote a headline that said Alex O’Connell Transferring To Maryland?

Turns out that isn’t the case. Instead, the guard is transferring to Creighton after his junior season at Duke.

O'Connell, a 6-foot-6 shooting guard from Georgia, spent the past three seasons in mostly a reserve role for Duke. He entered college with a reputation as a 3-point shooter, but his perimeter shooting numbers dropped with each season in Durham. Last season, O'Connell averaged a career-high 5.2 points and shot 27.3% from 3-point range.

Alex O’Connell had this say about committing to Creighton.

"First off, I'd like to thank each and every school that reached out to me and expressed interest during the recruitment process. It's been an incredible experience," O'Connell wrote Wednesday on Twitter. "With that being said, I've decided to end my recruitment and officially commit to Creighton University. Thanks to Coach [Greg] McDermott and his entire staff for believing in me and giving me this incredible opportunity." “according to an article by Jeff Borzello on espn.com
