Zach Hankins to Xavier

New Xavier coach Travis Steele landed his first commitment on Thursday in the person of Zach Hankins, the Division II Player of the Year at Ferris State.

The 6-foot-10 Hankins averaged 15 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks and should provide a good post presence in the post-Chris Mack Era.
