Expert Analysis
Jared Martinson | Prep Hoops Scout
“Xavier does a great job defending the post. He is a space-eater who boxes out consistently. Offensively, he has some stretchability and is a willing passer.“ -Coach Maurer

WHY?
He comes from Davies who always seems to be at State and all of that winning should rub off on Ames. The BIG Eagle has impressive size/length and he will get plenty of varsity burn next winter. Xavier impressed me in February and I want to see if his game has continued to improve. I will be watching him closely at 8:00 AM on Saturday.
Does he score with his back to the basket, how much time does he spend on the wing?
