Pitino Faces Big Roster Shakeup

Xavier’s roster has been hit hard, with eight players—Pape N’Diaye, Roddie Anderson, All Wright, Anthony Robinson, Tre Carroll, Malik Messina‑Moore, Isaiah Walker and Filip Borovicanin—leaving via the portal or out of eligibility. Remaining are Kalek House, Asher Elson, Gedeon Basson, Jovan Milicevic, Mier Panoam, Gabriel Pozzato and Kason Westphal. Pitino’s challenge is to build a competitive team from this limited core as the 2026‑27 season approaches.
