Former UCLA pledge Trevon Bluiett is off the board to Xavier.
“I will be playing my college ball for the next few years at Xavier University. #musketeernation #blessed,” the 6-foot-5 Indianapolis Tudor small forwarded tweeted Friday afternoon.
In addition to Xavier, Bluiett had been considering Butler, Memphis and Michigan State.
Bluiett visited Xavier for a soccer game last weekend following a visit to basketball practice there last week.
“They will be better than most predict,” Rey Bluiett said of Xavier, a new entry into the Big East under coach Chris Mack. “It was a well-structured practice with a balance of skillwork and game prep. It seems like a good place to get better.”
As for what Mack said about Bluiett, Rey indicated the coach said, “He’s what they need to become one of the [best] teams in the country.”
