Xavier’s recent history is filled with transfers that made an immediate impact. Malcolm Bernard and his sprint to glory against Arizona comes immediately to mind, but Remy Abell, Ryan Welage, and, of course, Jordan Crawford are all guards that Xavier has added who had an instant impact. Adam Kunkel wasn’t supposed to be one of those guys last season, but he was forced into a role he actively didn’t seek and did his best to make it his own.
