It just doesn’t happen that often. First of all they all have signed letters of intent, second they know they need to be developed and they are not really expecting to start and lastly the coaches are letting them know what is going on. They want to be developed. I can see a more veteran player being concerned with transfers but not the freshman unless they were like a one and done type of kid. Also Xavier has had 8 players leave the program so everyone knew they were adding dudes outside of the freshman recruits. You had to be able To field a team.

So with Quincy Olivari, Dayvion McKnight and Trey Green listed as PGs, and Claude, Craft, Ducharme and Swain listed as SGs, where do you all see these guys playing next year in terms of position(s) and minutes? Is it possible that Ducharme and Swain could see time at SF?

I could see Des Claude play the 3. Ducharme will spot the 2. Swain I can see play the 3 or 4 but he is so young so not sure what they will do with him. He is younger than many current juniors in high school. All I know is that Sean Miller knows what he is doing so all will be good.

With this likely news, if we get a beefy transfer 5, I can guarantee free and Hunter aren’t both starting next year. Too much depth at guard to not start 3 guys likely. Plus, I don’t think Hunter can effectively play the 3 anyway.

For sure. Depending on the 5 X gets- they very well could be better next year as a whole. And another expected protected seed. Such a great time to be a Muskie.

It’s now official! Quincy to x! Get an impact forward and this is a more talented roster than last year and call it a day!

Claude will paly some 2 and 3. Green will likely play 1 or 2. Craft 2 or 3 as he is a solid shooter and rebounder. Swain 3 or 4 but not getting a ton of minutes. Ducharme at the 2/3 spot and not getting a ton of minutes.

well, backcourt is now set. Just need the battleship.

Dude from UVA would be perfect. I'm really liking the idea of a shot blocker to help Free on D.

We have a legit bunch of snipers. Also guys who can get downhill and get to the line.
It was interesting to hear that for 4 years Xavier’s team shot more 3 pointers than foul shots. That was the first period that occurrence had ever happened.
That 4 year streak was broken this past season. We know why and how.
The kids we are getting now fit right in that mode.
LETS GOOOOOOOOO!
