Scouting Report: Bluiett and West are two Musketeer legends, and Sumner was one of the Big East’s most fascinating players prior to his knee injury. Hankins only spent one season in Cincinnati, but made a remarkable impact down the stretch, averaging 13 ppg, 6 rpg, and 2 bpg as Xavier finished the year on a 9-2 run.
