Just a couple of days after finding out that he was still in the running for two of the biggest names in the 2017 class, Coach Mack received even more good news. 2017 guard Elias Harden committed to Xavier last night. Harden is a 6-5, 180 guard who carries a slightly larger frame than the whippet thin Edmond Sumner.
Scout and Rivals both have Harden as a four star recruit and in the top 100, if only just, in the country. ESPN, somewhat bizarrely, acts as if they have never heard of the Georgia native. Harden is a competent shooter who is best when he can get his feet under him.
