Former Creighton guard Ryan Nembhard told Jonathan Givony of ESPN that he has committed to play next season at Gonzaga after two seasons with the Bluejays.
Nembhard, the brother of Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard, was voted to the All-Big East second team after averaging 12.1 points, 4.8 assists and four rebounds as a sophomore. He ranked 24th in the country in assists (176) and 52nd in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.29).
The 6-foot guard was viewed as one of the top players in the transfer portal and projects to be a good addition to the Zags next season. He chose Gonzaga over several programs, including Arizona, Alabama and UCF among others.

Nembhard said his brother helped persuade him to transfer to Gonzaga after Andrew Nembhard played two seasons for head coach Mark Few. Of course, Andrew Nembhard eventually became the No. 31 pick in the NBA draft last year and had a productive year with the Pacers.
With Ryan Nembhard now in the fold, the Bulldogs will look to make yet another deep run in the NCAA Tournament. The program has advanced to the Sweet 16 eight straight times and will likely be a favorite again in the West Coast Conference.
