Dee Davis was pretty successful both offensively and defensively against DSR in the Indiana State Semifinals. Oh, and Dee's team won it all.

Honestly, I'm happier to have Semaj in the fold than I was to have DSR. Don't get me wrong, I would have gladly taken DSR at X and think he would have had a very good career. But Semaj seems to have a more athletic game and could have a greater upside. DSR looks like his game is primarily based on strength and that might even out over a college career.

Good luck to DSR wherever he goes.

D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera is official to Georgetown

Good luck to him.

He'll be playing for a coach who annually underachieves, plays a grinding style and in a league that is falling apart- and further away from home.

Have fun, DSR. The phone is open if you want to transfer in a year or two.

DSR's talents might be better suited to Georgetown's style of play than to the style we will be playing this year and for the next few years at least, with Coach Mack. Good luck to him. I'm happy we have Semaj and Myles coming in next year to play with Dee and Dez (who eventually could play a lot at the 2) and presumably Cheeks and Brad.

I'm not so sure of what the advantage is anymore. If the A-10 works this right, we can actually be better.

We know that UCon, West Virginia and Louisville will go away for football. Then what is left? The big TV advantage will no longer be there. Hmmm mm.

Villanova, Georgetown, and St. John's.....or LaSalle, GW and Fordham. I've got a pretty good idea what the advantage would be.

Finally this crap is over. People who got worked up over this are not smart.

You might be right about that. He's a very cerebral guard but not overly athletic. Obviously any team would adjust strategy to a degree to accommodate his skills, but there's only so much a team can stray from its identity and Xavier for the next few years will be an athletically-minded bunch.
