Xavier has been in contact with a number of recruits for the 2021 recruiting class. Although Xavier has yet to land a commitment, they’re in the mix with a good amount of players. Here are a few of the recruits Xavier is listed as “warm” with according to 247sports:
- Malaki Branham: SG- Rank: 26th
- Jordan Hawkins: SG- Rank: 62nd
- Jeremy Sochan: SF- Rank: 69th
- Trey Kaufman: PF- Rank: 72nd
- Ike Cornish: SG- Rank: 79th
- Jaden Akins: PG- Rank: 99th
- Jusaun Holt: SF- Rank: 105th
- Robbie Armbrester: PF- Rank: 116th
As you can see, we’re at least in the mix with a good number of guys. Also note that we’ve reached out to some other recruits as well, but at the moment we’re listed as “cool” with the recruit on 247sports. Some of these other names include Jalen Warley, Trey Patterson, and others. What I have taken away from this is that we’re aiming very high for this class, with the intent of adding a few of these guys. I love to see us go after these big name recruits, but as you know, it’s always hard to land guys that are high caliber and there’s no real guarantee that we’ll even get any of these guys. What this means is that this class could turn out to be one of our best ever, but at the same time turn out to be a complete miss. Luckily, we’ve started to reach out to a few 3 star recruits in case things go wrong, but hopefully this class can turn into something special.
I’m a 10th grader from Cincinnati and I’ve been a huge Xavier fan my whole life. I’ll be writing articles about news, updates, and anything involving Xavier basketball. I’ll try to keep it as less opinionated as possible and mainly objective. I hope you all enjoy!
