Recent revelations I wonder if this is a surprise commitment somewhere unexpected. I know nothing, but if UK is truly his destination I wonder if the FBI stuff changes things up.

My guess is he's heading to Austin to play for Shaka Smart.

Can't use the playing time excuse with Hayes. Tyrique Jones will be our only big on the roster next year along with frosh Jake Walter...

This class is going to hurt us.

Welp. Shit. That's all I can really say as of now, it's frustrating to keep striking out on recruits.

Maybe he’ll enroll early and get homesick after three months?

Have wondered for awhile if recruits havent been choosing X this cycle because of all the talk the past couple years of Mack appearing on the short-short list of every major opening, possibly as the top target of many. Imagine opposing coaches, "Sure, he's turned down jobs, but it's only a matter of time before he gets an offer he can't refuse." Given the ramped up talk now about Mack/L'ville, have to think recruits will be especially wary of committing to X for next year. That is, unless there's nowhere else to go once the dust settles!

Maybe that's possible? But frankly, most of the talk gets shut down quickly. I would imagine other coaches using it against Xavier when in a recruiting battle, but if that's the best they got, I'm okay with it.

Xavier has been killing it in recruiting, an off year happens even among the best programs.

Problem is it’s not the best year to have an off year considering they were hoping for a 5 man class. Getting stuck with Brandon Randolph and Kamall Richards is one thing, Jake Walter + 4 backup options is another

40 of the top 100 players are still uncommitted. I am sure there are several in the 100 to 150 range as well. Xavier will be fine. May need to get a 5th year transfer and a regular transfer at some point and a juco. It happens.

Except it's not the best they've got. We're not recruiting against St. Joe's and Dayton anymore.

Like who? If you don't think striking out on a complete class won't hurt X, you're kidding yourself.

Do you believe that we'll strike out on the entire class? There are still 5+ on the list.

Honestly if you look at each individual recruitment, it wouldn't shock me. I think we get 1, two if we are lucky. Would say Harris and Bey are our best shots at this point.

I've somewhat made peace with this being a shite class. Even if we were to get some highly-rated guys, they would all bolt next spring once Mack takes the UofL job after our national championship run.

There's so much that can happen with the recruits still available, 5th year transfers, etc etc.

We've just been spoiled for the last 4-5 years in getting great classes with early commits that a year like this year feels horrible.

I've not lost faith that we'll be ok in the end.

Crazy this kid went from not even playing much in HS to top level D1 recruit in a summer. Seems almost too risky, but I guess when you're 6'10 and your dad was a professional athlete, you take that chance.

Remember Anthony Davis? We were in on him early and had a good shot at him until UK offered. We know how he turned out. He had a huge growth spurt similar to Jaxson.

for some reason the twitter app on my phone shows him following Hayes, but when I log in on a web browser it shows that he isn't. WTF lol.

Yes, he had a similar growth spurt but Davis was a consensus 5 star player and I think #1 in the country by the time his Sr. year rolled around. Not exactly apples to apples. Hayes is definitely a higher risk, but if you don't take a risk on a 6'10 (and growing) kid who can really run the floor and whose dad played in the NFL, then you don't take a risk on anyone.

I'm POd because we lost a potentially really great player who was right in our own backyard. We have no big men on the roster next year besides Jones and Walter. Big ol' swing and miss.

Actually I was thinking of Byron - forgot about McKenzie since he transferred out.
