Semaj Christon, a point guard from Winton Woods, has verbally committed to Xavier's class of 2012.

He will join shooting guard Myles Davis, power forward James Farr, center Sim Bhullar and reclassifying power forward Jalen Reynolds.

Christon will spend the next year prepping at Brewster Academy (N.H.) with Reynolds.

The 6-foot-3, 175-pound player chose XU over Georgetown, Illinois and Providence. Christon said he was most impressed with the Musketeers coaches, who “believed in me” and were straightforward during the recruiting process.

“Chris Mack was honest all the time, and he cared enough to come to my (AAU) games. For a head coach to come to my games is kind of big for me,” Christon said.
