It appears Dan Hauser has dialed up the Creighton to High Point pipeline once again. According to college basketball insider, Jeff Goodman, HPU is set to hire the Blue Jay’s assistant coach, Alan Huss, as their new head of the men’s program.

Huss will be the program’s 6th head coach since moving up to Division 1 and the Panthers hope the first to deliver a berth into March Madness. Coach Huss comes to High Point with a bevy of accolades and coaching experience. Alan Huss played for four years at Creighton under Dana Altman alongside long-time NBA vet, Kyle Korver. He then grinded his way through prep and high school ranks in Indiana before transitioning to the college game at University of New Mexico. After three years working with the Lobos, Huss found his way back to his alma mater. He has spent the past six years with the Blue Jays helping the team to four NCAA tourney appearances and a conference championship.

Alan Huss has been lauded for his work in developing several key players for Creighton, especially along the front court. This includes coaching up big man Ryan Kalkbrenner. Under Huss’s tutelage Kalkbrenner has blossomed into a two-time Big East Defensive Player of the Year and an All Conference performer.

Coach Huss is also an extremely accomplished recruiter. He helped the Blue Jays obtain a top-10 recruiting class for 2021 and has been a lead recruiter for some of Creighton’s top recruits all time. Huss was the primary recruiter for at least four 4-star recruits including standouts Kalkbrenner and Ryan Nembhard.

Huss All Time Recruits

High Point hopes Alan Huss can continue that prowess on the recruiting trail and bring some top-end talent to the Triad. Coach Huss should certainly benefit from the incredible facilities at HPU including one of the nicest arenas in all of college basketball.
