While he may only be around for practice this year, the arrival of Eddie Ekiyor will help the Musketeers continuing playing at a high level in the future.
Shortly after Christmas, Eddie Ekiyor will arrive in Cincinnati and join the Musketeers.
Ekiyor is a 6-foot-8 power forward from Canada who has recently completed his high school work and will be joining Xavier for the second semester. Because Xavier is so deep in the post with the likes of James Farr, Jalen Reynolds and Sean O’Mara, the plan is for Ekiyor to redshirt this year and be ready to contribute in the 2016-17 season.
