NEW ORLEANS — Charles Savoy, a 6-foot-9 forward from Alpharetta, Ga., has signed an athletics scholarship to play men's basketball for Xavier University of Louisiana.
Savoy is a transfer from NCAA Division II's Tuskegee University, where he played the past two seasons. Savoy will be a junior on coach Dannton Jackson's 2014-15 XU roster.
Savoy averaged 4.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in 26 games in 2013-14 to help the Golden Tigers go 21-12 and win championships of the SIAC West Division, the SIAC Tournament and the NCAA South Regional. The regional championship was the first for Tuskegee, which was eliminated in the NCAA Division II Elite 8.
Savoy — one of four Gold Rush signees this year — is a 2011 graduate of Chamblee Charter High School in DeKalb, Ga. In his senior year he helped the Bulldogs reach the Class 4A state playoffs, and he was rated one of the top 100 prospects in Georgia.
Xavier's Gold Rush were 23-9 last season, won the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference regular-season championship for the third consecutive year and qualified for the Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I National Championship for the fourth straight season. Xavier ranked 16th in the coaches postseason poll.
