I watched him grow up to a towering 6’ 11 in our church in Charlevoix and here he is a star player with Xavier college in the Big East conference. He was DII All American last year when he went post grad to a D1 team in Cinci. This is getting interesting.
#35 is his number, they play on FS1 channel....
The story is familiar by now. Hankins developed into the DII player of the year and chose Xavier over schools like Michigan and MSU. As you can read in the article above, projecting a guy who played a DII and is suddenly facing down Jessie Govan is a hard thing to do. Hankins has more than risen to the challenge, though. It speaks a lot to the dedication of a young man that he hasn’t arrived here and taken a moment to take a deep breath and savor the situation. Instead, Hankins has dominated. Govan was good when the Hoyas played Xavier, but it was Hankins who went for 23/10/2 and threw in three blocks for good measure.
