2017 G Christian David has committed to Butler. Top 100 player in the '17 class. Huge pickup.

Have seen him play and he is damn good. A top 5 Canadian in the class of 2017. Creighton was also in his 4 final choices. Great choice by Christian, great get for Butler and the Big East and he will only be roughly 6 hours from home so his parents will be able to watch him play. Smart move by all parties.
 
Xavier has picked up a commitment from 2017 big man Kentrevious Jones, per source. 6-foot-11 center out of Georgia.
 
Affects Xavier. They are in this tournament.

The 2016 Puerto Rico Tip-Off will now be played in Orlando, Florida due to Zika concerns, per release.

Bottom line is Xavier rolls out arguably 2 (Sumner & Bluiett) of the 3 best players in the Big East. They'll be a fun duo to watch this year

FYI, Myles Davis is still suspended.

Myles Davis is facing two charges from incidents involving a former girlfriend, according to a report Friday by the Cincinnati Enquirer, which cites court documents.

The two charges stem from separate incidents, the most recent one prompting a warrant for Davis' arrest. Davis' lawyer has reportedly been in contact with local authorities and said Davis plans to turn himself in Monday. The first charge was related to Davis allegedly intentionally destroying a cellphone and damaging a car door back in July. The most recent charge is a misdemeanor of damage with new details and alleged criminal behavior, per the report.

Paul Scruggs (@the1paulscruggs) has committed to Xavier scout.com/college/basket…
4 star guard
Per Evan Daniels;

Xavier now moves to No. 5 in Scout's 2017 class rankings with the addition of Paul Scruggs. Two players ranked among top 40.

"Xavier was a great program before it joined the Big East, but now it's on its way to becoming elite. Realignment has elevated perception."

This conference is tough for sure. Thankfully this staff looks at recruiting as a 24/7 year long process. Start winning & hold serve with Xavier & Nova, Georgetown, etc. on recruiting trail to establish a consistently competitive program. Can't ask for more IMO.
