Jasen Green, a 6-foot-7 power forward out of Omaha (Neb.) Millard North has committed to Creighton basketball for the class of 2022, he tells On3.

Green is the Bluejays’ second commitment of the class, following point guard Ben Shtolzberg. Creighton is also targeting Kimani Hamilton, Desmond Claude, among others.

Furthermore, Green chose the Creighton Bluejays over scholarship offers from Colorado, Nebraska, Stanford, Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa State, among others.

Jasen Green on why he chose Creighton

“First of all, I really like the coaches there,” Green said. “I feel like they can develop me as a player to be the best that I can. Another big reason is because of their play style. They are a real big run-and-gun team and my summer team and my high school team have been playing like that for as long as I can remember so I’ll fit into their offense perfectly. Another big reason is that it’s pretty close to home, only 20-25 minutes away. I have a lot of support from my hometown.”

Green, fresh off his visit to Creighton last weekend, says that trip really made the difference.

“On the visit, we were getting a presentation and coach was showing us clips of his team, and who I’d be like, and then he showed me clips from my highlights and some of the things that I do that would let me fit in perfectly with their offense, so that’s probably what did it.”
