CJ has great range which will be perfect for new 3 line. Not sure he’ll be the next Tre, but love the outside opportunity we so desperately need. With him and Dahmir, should be fun to watch!

Calls himself the best shooter in the class, we needed outside shooting help and got it in a big way, the type of guy who's shot won't matter how far you push the line back

some interesting insight into cj wilcher's decision and travis' recruiting style

I’ve heard this consistency stuff before with Steele and staff so nice to hear. Surprised (ok maybe not) that other teams do not. Sounds like other programs still continue to tell a recruit what they want to hear vs reality and change accordingly.

A big thing Wilcher said to The Athletic is that he cares bout the academics too as I've stated, he seems to have a really good head on his shoulders. He said the staff was also texting him basically daily, and that if it wasn't Dante, or Ben Johnson, Steele and Hayes would send a text too. I said it earlier, and I'll say it again, it really seems like this staff likes to recruit, and likes to build genuine connections, that could play a major role in being able to land some of these prospects. I'm really hoping Johnson and Hayes stay for a couple more years.

Eh I don't know, but I really don't take any weight into ESPN recruiting, they really have packed it in on that regard, I enjoy 247 the most these days, so I try to use their own ranking along with the composite, and either way, as long as we can get Odom on campus, he looks like the real deal. Just an absolute stud by all means.

Totally unnecessary comparison:

Odum = Holloway
Tandy = Lyons
Wilcher = Bluiett

Never 100% of skills and stats, but from what I've seen of style, swagger, and how they add to a team I think this is what we can expect. Wilcher looks so much like Bluiett when he was a freshman. It's exciting to think that in a couple years we should see all three on court and working together.

If these guys can pan out like Holloway, Lyons, and Blueitt, then we have set ourselves up incredibly well for the future, definitely see what you're saying, they do have a swagger about them. Boat loads of confidence, and really look like they could help X get better and better. Obviously statistics wise won't be the same like you said, but man, it's really hard not to get excited about the 2019 class, and the jump we've got on 2020 so far.

This is why I love Steele’s recruiting! He got Odom to commit for 2020 and he became the anchor for the class! Next we got what we needed, an outside shooter (Wilcher). Now, we can try to get the best available 4-5 for us (Carlson possibly). Not to slam on Mack, but this was (IMO) our biggest problem in ‘18 recruiting, we swung for the fences and had no anchor.

Carlson has 2 crystal balls pointed in our direction, but also something interesting to note Niels Lane (4*, ranked 67th overall, SG) has us warm with Florida, Providence, and Seton Hall; Keyon Ambrose-Hylton (4*, ranked 80th overall, PF) has us warm with Dayton (really?? wtf), and Jalen Bridges (4*, ranked 81st overall) warm with Pitt and WVU; all of WVU's crystal balls were last year, the insider WVU board doesn't think it's as much of a done deal as a lot of people think it is even though he grew up in Fairmont (15 minutes away from WVU)... Steele has the potential to bring in a MONSTER class.

Oops forgot to add, when the new 247 Composite Rankings come out, the new composite scores for Wilcher and Odom would be:
Odom: 0.9809 (this would make him the 5th highest ranked recruit in X history, coming in right before Naji Marshall, and right after Kenny Frease, so somewhere around 50th overall)
Wilcher: 0.9685 (this would make him the 8th highest ranked recruit in X history, coming in right before Q, and right after J-Mart, so somewhere around 78th overall)

Obviously those are subject to change as recruiting sites change and evaluate, but a phenomenal start to this class.

"Hoopseen":

Dwon Odom, 6-1, PG, 2020, St. Francis (GA)
No one helped their national reputation more at the NBPA Top 100 camp this week than Odom. He was outstanding in Charlottesville. The go-to move for Odom is his powerful and explosive first step. He’s cat-quick like a running back looking for the gap. When he saw light in the tunnel to the rim, the Atlanta area guard burst to the rim and scored at will when he got into the lane. His future head coach Travis Steele is going to love the athleticism and toughness Odom plays with. He’s one of the most competitive and dynamic lead guards in the class nationally.

Looks like Niels Lane has become a top choice for X in 2020 according to 247 prospects. Anyone know anything about him besides the nice new ranking? His 6/15 ranking went from 293 to 69, so I’m guessing he had a great spring.

Yeah definitely think UK will get guys in the top 30, but the interest has to be in Niels mind, it'll be interesting to see how things shake out. That jump from Lane was crazy, so definitely seems he's been re-evaluated, it's nice to see we're in on some targets the blue bloods like as XUGrad80 said, things are definitely looking up!!

You'd have to think Carlson definitely would be in after seeing that, you're right, a 4 man class MINIMUM that would be top 10, I'm kind of salivating at the thought.. proud of the way Steele and his staff have recruited the last couple years, a major uptick. I expected it, because the staff is filled out with very personable coaches, but man... crazy to see.

This link still provides some pertinent Xavier info....1st good recap I’ve seen on Odom’s stellar Championship run last week. I am surprised they say his AAU career is over because his Atlanta Celtics team is listed to compete in the Adidas Gauntlet Finale starting tomorrow.

In the Notre Dame recruitment article, their scouting report on Niels Lane is not nearly as positive as others I’ve seen but their take on Carlson is consistent. I’m kinda surprised they list Xavier as a Top Consideration for Trey Galloway. He would be an unbelievable get but most assume he’s gonna be in candy stripes. Also something I was unaware of, they have X listed 1st Top Consideration for St. Edwards 3* SG Grant Huffman.

Good article and more affirmation that Odom’s verbal is rock solid.

It’s common for fellow prep stars to be in touch with one another but it sounds like he’s working as Coach Hayes’ wing man in selling X to his AAU teammates. The core 3 are all from the North Atlanta area, so he has already built friendships and basketball chemistry with them. Good chance Caleb Murphy is who he’s referring to, as he definitely has become a hot prospect with a very impressive summer. BTW Murphy has another Xavier connection. I believe he was teammates with Daniel Ramsey at Norcross last year.

The fact he mentions that Wilcher is also involved, tells me Niels Lane is getting a sales pitch from him. Heck, it’s entirely possible that they know most of the guys that hold 2020 offers from X.....obviously AAU ball connects players/coaches from other states, and of course the power of social media is a huge factor.

I have heard from several sources close or within the program that Steele is a nice combination between Mack and Miller in that he is "one of the guys" like Mack, but that he has the intensity and coaching strategy/ability of Miller.

I'm really looking forward to seeing that last 2 percent happening over the course of the next 3 or 4 years. I have little doubt it is going to happen under steeles watch.

I've said on this board before that his coaching style is much more similar to Miller than Mack in that it is defensive focused and values each possession. I find it easier to cheer for personally. Mack's style was frustrating at times to watch as far as guys just not being focused or giving effort all the time especially on defense and in key possessions. A lot of the problems early on last season imo were the players trying to transition from Mack's style to Travis'. I have very high hopes that Travis is gonna be pretty darn good.

Just can’t wait. However, this is going to be a great year (I hope). Boy talk about decisiveness.

How high do you have to be in the rankings to be considered a 5-star?

was hoping for more of a jump from Jones as they said he exploded over the summer.....

But at the end of the day, they are just rankings.........

So true from what I remember a while ago (memory not as good lol) they’re basically spitting hairs between 75-125.

Interesting how far Niels Lane went up to 106 from 66.

Yes I cant imagine there's that much of a difference between guys that are 50-125............the Top 50 guys they seem to rarely miss on.

The staff certainly wanted Colby Jones more than Lane. I guess they learned something watching them perform this summer.

Know there’s been some questions on our LOI’s this year. This is such a cool video from the “XU basketball” on our 2020 recruits. Love to see the growth of our program!

Wow! That brings tears to my eyes. It’s been such a pleasure to watch so many great young men go through this program, and sometimes we forget just how fortunate we fans have been. That’s a great, I mean really great, little video.

Senior send off video for CJ.

Kids got a beautiful stroke and CRAZY RANGE....WOW!

Not to mention his intensity is off the chart. VOCAL leader you think?

:eek:

That's encouraging...

He looks like Miles Davis with some lift
Looks to have some serious edge too....I think I saw a crotch grab in there while jawing with student/fans...

Save for an unfortunate injury (isn't going to happen), there is no reason why he couldn't become an impact freshman.

Wow! I know it’s just highlights, but I sure do feel better about having guys more who will actually need to be guarded (rather than DARED) by the defense!

Shooters welcome with open arms... CJ looks like Trevon on a lot of those clips. Has a sweet stroke, quick release, mid range game.... Odom is a nightmare in open court. Jones seems like a steal. Daddy likey

CJ had a late season injury (I believe was his shoulder). Played in last 2 state tournament games before they shut down NJ hoops. Hope he has made full recovery. We had enough incoming guys with injuries this past year.

right. hopefully we can start the season with a roster that is fully healthy across the board.
