Evan Boudreaux, the 6-foot-8 power forward from Dartmouth, announced his transfer to Xavier on Monday via Twitter. Boudreaux, a graduate transfer, will have two years of eligibility remaining and be eligible starting next season.
“I just felt really comfortable with the coaching staff and the way they play, and I think I fit into that really well,” Boudreaux told ZAGSBLOG on Monday. “A major factor was the program’s success. I want to play in the NCAA tournament and have the potential to advance deep into it.”
In addition to Boudreaux, Xavier will also bring in 2018 recruits Keonte Kennedy, Jake Walter, and Dontarius James.
“I felt really comfortable with coach [Chris] Mack and the coaching staff at Xavier, and I think the program and school were the best fit for me as an athlete,” Boudreaux told Evan Daniels of 247Sports on Monday.
