Looks like Xavier will get an Ivy grad transfer after all.
A week after former Dartmouth standout Evan Boudreaux committed to Purdue following a decommitment from Xavier, Jeff Goodman of ESPN reported Sunday that Columbia guard Kyle Castlin is headed for Xavier.
Castlin will play for new Xavier coach Travis Steele, who was hired Mar. 29 following the departure of Chris Mack, who left for Louisville (thereby prompting Boudreaux to reopen his recruitment).
Former Dartmouth forward Evan Boudreaux announced in December that he would attend Xavier next year.
Now he’s set to become a Boilermaker instead.
Boudreaux announced Thursday on Twitter that he would attend Purdue next season, having reopened his recruitment after Xavier coach Chris Mack left for Louisville:
Alright third time’s the charm. Very excited to announce that I will be attending Purdue University next year! 🚂 #boilerup pic.twitter.com/MqzIzdUR2X

Boudreaux ranked second in the Ivy League in scoring, first in rebounding and second in minutes played as a sophomore in 2016-17. The 6-foot-8 Lake Forest, Ill. native has two years of eligibility remaining.
Former Dartmouth forward Evan Boudreaux announced Monday he will attend Xavier next year, as both a real person and a cartoon, apparently.
Excited to announce I will be attending Xavier University next year! Appreciate everyone who had helped me throughout the process. Looking forward to the next chapter as a Musketeer! pic.twitter.com/musTZoBdtk
