CINCINNATI -- The same day that senior Myles Davis returned from a lengthy suspension for his first practice of the season, Xavier University basketball received a verbal commitment Sunday from 6-foot-9 junior college transfer Brady Ernst.
Ernst started his career at Iowa State but transferred to Indian Hills Community College in Iowa. According to the Des Moines Register, Ernst averaged 0.3 points and 2.3 minutes in six games as a Cyclones freshman and cut his season short after his knee did not respond well to ACL surgery.
Ernst made his decision known on Twitter.
