Sean Miller: The Thread

Perhaps this is a naive question but what actions, not yet taken, could Xavier's admin. take to demonstrate commitment toward getting to the FF?

This! He knew damn well what he was doing.

The chalk talk comment leads to everyone thinking he was really mad that the administration wouldn’t go to bat for him like UC did for Wes. A complete misrepresentation of what he actually said, but Rick put it in a vague way to get people to make crazy conclusions.

That’s the main thing, he had “sources” from both ends of the spectrum saying opposite things. Everyone lost their mind and still is. The Twitter stuff comes from people on the board. It’s all vague because it was presented that way, no one really has any idea

Willie - do you subscribe to Rick's site? Just curious if that is your take after reading whatever he said.

Just to play devils advocate, why would he throw a grenade into the XU faithful if he knew it was all BS - with the consequence of destroying his reputation, and thus losing business?



To support what you guys are saying, I did see this on MM (can anybody confirm any of this?):

Our NIL money is fine. I hear Miller is building a new house in the Cincy area. He just signed an extension. FWIW

100 percent, the dude can be a douche, his whole “realist negative, attitude gets old.

I am. I like the recruiting aspect of the site during offseason but that’s about it. He’s a big NKU guy, could give two shits about X. I think he’s regretting writing that article

Sean will be mentioned for openings at a lot of schools. How many was Steele? So, good and bad news.

Sounds like this Rick dude has good connections inside the program and heard he has credentials with some of the pressers. If his access gets somewhat limited and Sean stays, we’ll know the answer.

At the end of last year or beginning of this year he did. But let’s be honest, that means extremely little anyways unless it came with a huge buyout which it didn’t

Sean isn't going anywhere. This whole thing is ridiculous.

Here’s another take on the OSU thing from The Athletic. One very interesting and somewhat surprising take from the article concerns XU v OSU spending on Men’s BB. Probably will surprise most other people too.
