Disappointed he is leaving Nebraska, but good for him. Probably makes sense considering Miles probably won't get much more time here, and he wasn't an actual assistant coach. He was Director of Player Relations and Development. So if his goal (which seems like it is) is to be a D1 coach this seems like a good move for him right now.

Medved is a former assistant to Miles, so I'm guessing Miles recommended Ali to him. I wonder if this hire will help Drake in it's pursuit of Nebraska transfer Michael Jacobson.

In other (minor) Drake news, Johannes Dolven is leaving the program. He had 12 points and 6 rebounds on the season. When you can't even get off the deep end of the bench for a team with an RPI above 300, you probably don't figure in the future plans.

He was a grad assistant at Nebraska. Those gigs typically only last a couple of years.

He moved from GA to Director of Player Relations & Development last season

He did two years as a GA and then they created a job to keep him around for last year. Wasn't a full assistant and makes sense that he'd want to make that jump now.
