With James Farr and Jalen Reynolds at the helm, the Xavier Musketeers were not only one of the best rebounding teams in the Big East, but throughout the country as well. The two 6-foot-10 hoopers helped the Musketeers on both ends as they ranked amongst the best in Offensive and Defensive Rebounding%. Though not superb contributors on offense, they were both good in spurts and were both very vital to X's string of success in the 2015-16 season, which was emphasized after the likes of Matt Stainbrook graduated from the university.
Going forward to 2016-17, we knew that Farr would no longer be at Xavier after finishing up his tenure at the Cincinnati-based university.
