Xavier scores transfer commitment from Kerem Kanter

One weekend on the Xavier University campus was apparently all it took for Musketeers head coach Chris Mack to win over transfer prospect Kerem Kanter.

Kanter, a sought-after graduate transfer out of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, announced Tuesday via Twitter he plans to see out the pre-NBA Draft process he previously declared for but will play for Xavier if he returns to the college ranks for the 2017-18 season.

Kanter averaged 11.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game at Green Bay last season.

Kanter is the younger brother of Oklahoma City Thunder center Enes Kanter.
