Best walk-ons in college basketball history. Book it! Welcome to Omaha, Xander. That shooting stroke in the highlight video is smooth.
In the final three games of the TN high school B-ball tournament they won, Zander scored almost as many points as teammate Mason Miller, so maybe he will be a walk on to remember.

A nice pickup as a 6'-8" PF walkon who had 3 D1 offers. Zander will add depth to the front line and possibly make the rotation down the road. Welcome to the Creighton family.
Nice to get high quality walk-ons. They make the scout team tougher to defend and closer to what we'll see in games, and they can develop and sometimes get court time in games as well!
