It was widely accepted that new Xavier basketball head coach Travis Steele would have personnel challenges on his hands this offseason, and he provided a long-term solution Thursday afternoon.

Now-former Columbia University rising freshman forward Myles Hanson announced via Twitter Thursday he planned to transfer to the Musketeers program.

Hanson is expected to take a walk-on spot on the Xavier roster and will sit out the 2018-19 season, per NCAA transfer rules.
