Disagree. To some extent, of course people know what he's thinking. There's a reason multiple sites keep saying XU is the leader for him.

(I see Juice said the same thing in his last post).

Yep. And even the weaker sites out there have a decent track record on what is going on with these players. In good part, it's about having conversations with the right people and parsing out what can be confidently deemed true and what seems dubious.

Got it. You have said this a number of times in this thread, and I don't think anyone disagrees "that we don't really know what is going on inside his head".

This message board has thousands of posters that act like they know everything, it is the nature of the beast. It is always funny to see someone get so butt hurt because a group of people disagree with an opinion.

You are officially on record with your opinion that Scruggs' transfer to Prolific Prep is not a good sign for Xavier. Regardless of who has what source, your opinion is tough to dispute. If you feel you have better sources than most, and want to debate the validity of Scout, ESPN, Rivals, etc. that could be a whole new thread. It is the type of discussion that goes no where, and usually ends up with someone humping a door knob. I am not telling you NOT to spend your Friday in such a manner, you are free to choose what you post and don't post. It just might make more sense to move on with a more satisfying activity.

Either way best wishes, Cheers!

Feel free to scoff at me (and perhaps rightfully so) but right now on Twitter Paul Scruggs follows one and only one Head Coach (Chris Mack), he follows 5 and only 5 assistant coaches (4 are Xavier's) and by my count he follows 6 and only 6 current basketball players, and all are Xavier players. He also follows Najo Marshall. Until this changes I have no fear that Scruggs is going anywhere but XU. If he was really considering IU, dont you think he'd, at the very least, follow Crean on twitter?

Oh, I agree and even think him going out west is a good indication he's willing to leave Indiana, much to the chagrin of the IU faithful. I just feel better when it's a done deal, or with any positive step in that direction (i.e. IU filling their PG slot thus ducking out of the "competition").

Scruggs tweeted earlier that his announcement is "coming soon". All signs point to X. Here's to hoping!

FYI...Scruggs just accepted my request to follow him on Twitter. That has to be the final confirmation that he is gonna be a Muskie, right?!?

Missing on Wilkes was a bummer, but in the end I really want Scruggs to commit. That will round out this class as one of the best. This kid can play and will just add to the talent he has for 2017.

I like the body, the D and the toughness. Another Indy blue collar grinder in the he mold of Cole and Cage.

Agree with previous comments re getting out of Dodge to avoid the IU crazies when he commits elsewhere.. to X!!

Which Cole? If you're talking Brandon, he's from Illinois.

Scruggs has all the tools to be an elite defender. I'm really excited to see Scruggs, Goodin, and Marshall on the court together. All play extremely hard and can handle the ball. I think our biggest challenge next year will be making shots from three. Having Macura, Kaiser, Ridder, and Elias Harris helps, but two of those guys have no game experience. Our 2018 class will have some shot makers.

When Scruggs finally pulls the trigger for X, it's gonna feel like Bill Clinton's birthday when he got that $1MM check from Qatar!

Zidane's was like $15,000,000. He was Qatar's pitch man.

So, he hasn't said anything like at 8:00 PST I'm making a decision? But he might make a decision tomorrow? This is such a tease...

I read an Indiana speculator this morning say he was working on a small after school presser, which could mean anything.

That means we'll have to wait until at least 6. I can't wait any longer. Damn Pacific coast time.

Well, since it is characterized as being a "small after school presser" it could mean that the announcement itself is small. As in "I haven't decided yet; have a nice weekend and stay tuned."

I thought you were kidding and trying to plant a cruel little seed of doubt.... Because that kind of conference would have indeed been cruel! Welcome to Xavier, Mr Scruggs!

"Please know that I am neither a sadist or masochist." True story: that is a direct quote from a Xavier Psych professor I had Freshman year.

I couldn't be happier for him and for Xavier.

Now, was someone mentioning something about a freakish "wingspan" and otherwise comparing him to Dunn in here a little while ago?
