Xavier Rebuilds After 8 Departures

Xavier’s roster shrinks as eight players exit the transfer portal, leaving only six returning seniors and a handful of underclassmen. Coach Pitino now faces a rebuilding task, hoping the core of Kalek House, Asher Elson, and Gedeon Basson can anchor the team. The departures, including Pape N’Diaye, Roddie Anderson, and Anthony Robinson, cut the depth that last season’s squad enjoyed.
