The decision#
Kalek House, a 6-4 shooting guard from Arizona Compass Prep National, has committed to Xavier University. House chose the Musketeers over other offers in his recruitment process, marking a significant addition to Xavier's 2026 class.
The Arizona native's commitment signals his alignment with Xavier's program direction and coaching staff vision. House will join the Big East program after completing his high school tenure at Arizona Compass Prep National, one of the country's prominent prep basketball destinations.
What it means for Xavier#
Xavier adds a wing player with size and shooting position versatility to its backcourt plans. At 6-4, House provides the physical tools the Musketeers seek in their perimeter rotation. His commitment from a nationally-recognized prep program suggests readiness for Big East-level competition.
The Musketeers continue building depth in their guard rotation for the 2026 cycle. House's addition addresses needs in the backcourt and provides options for future roster construction as the program looks ahead to ACC transition and beyond.
What it means for House#
House will develop within Xavier's coaching structure and Big East framework. The commitment provides clarity on his college destination and allows him to focus on closing his prep career at Arizona Compass Prep National with defined NCAA path secured.
The Musketeers offer House an opportunity to compete at the highest collegiate level in a major conference setting. His 6-4 frame and position flexibility should provide pathways to earn playing time within Xavier's system as he transitions from high school basketball.
