Xavier basketball recruiting: Muskies offer several prospects; Nyk Lewis schedules visit

While the Xavier basketball roster for the 2024-25 season has been set for nearly a month and practices are already underway at Cintas Center, the Musketeers brass still had a busy May, capped by a slew of offers to prep prospects over Memorial Day.

Here’s an update on some of the high school standouts Xavier has recently offered a scholarship to, plus an update on recent recruitments with visits scheduled and decisions looming.

Xavier joins Grady’s offer sheet that includes double-digit Division I programs from across the country, including California, Oklahoma and Big East rival Creighton.
