Alan Huss has plenty of options in his rebuilt backcourt, but the key question is still unresolved: who will handle the point guard role for Creighton this season? That is the central issue emerging from men's basketball media day in Omaha, where the Bluejays continued to present a roster with depth and flexibility, but no clear final answer at the top of the floor.
This is not a case of a coach lacking talent. It is a case of sorting out the fit. Creighton enters the season with a backcourt that has been reshaped, and Huss will now have to decide which combinations give the Bluejays the most control, the best tempo and the cleanest decision-making when the pressure rises.
The point guard question remains
The concern for Creighton is simple. A team can have enough guards, enough scoring and enough rotation options, but if the point guard position is unsettled, the whole structure can take longer to settle down.
That is why this is such an important early-season storyline. Huss has options, but options are not the same as certainty. The Bluejays still need someone to organize the group, set the pace and make the backcourt work as a unit.
Media day offered the first clear look
Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2026, was Creighton's men's basketball media day in Omaha, and it provided the first major public look at the group Huss will lean on. Portraits were taken of Jasen Green, Shane Thomas, Fredrick King, Wesly Rosa, Kayden "Bugg" Edwards, Wes Enis, Isaac Traudt and Jackson McAndrew.
That list underlines the variety Huss has available as he pieces together the season ahead. It also reinforces the same point: there are multiple names in the mix, but the job of defining the backcourt hierarchy is still unfinished.
Why the answer matters now
For a coach, a rebuilt backcourt can be a strength if the roles become clear quickly. It can also become a problem if the rotation remains fluid too deep into the season. Creighton will want the former, not the latter.
Huss now has the next stretch of practice and preparation to settle the issue. The talent is there. The question is whether Creighton can turn that talent into a dependable guard structure before the season demands real answers.
