Uh, did you notice that EVERYBODY ELSE, said the same thing Friday, and I WAS THE FIRST ONE, to let everybody know, 5 hours before Baum, that Free wasn’t playing. Hey, man. Things changed, I know why but I’m not telling you why.
And yeah. I do have sources that many do not have access to and I’m not telling you who they are.
I don’t make iish up. Believe what you want troll.

Meanwhile, how about ante-ing up $200k and have Jack stay? You’ve got the big time donor seats that you’re bitching about moving from.

Just keep yelling at the cloud, old man.

You know what's awesome? We can keep these arguments going until Thursday because we aren't playing on D1 of the BET.

Does X allow 10-15 big $ donors access to the locker room post game?

Oh I’m sure you have sources………I’m not suggesting that you make EVERYTHING up. But the problem is your sources are consistently wrong and thus you’re consistently wrong. It doesn’t appear that you are posting anonymously on this board as it seems others know who you are. What is your name? I would like to know if maybe we’ve met before.

But they are not consistently wrong. Things change in minutes sometimes. If you don’t think that can happen, no one can help you. You can’t even keep your facts straight. I don’t post anywhere near the amount of stuff I’m told. And if I’m told something credibly and it changes I try to correct it asap on here. The Steele thing last year happened at the highest levels and didn’t filter down until later. That wasn’t ground level like other things are.
I have no reason to make anything up. The people who count know who I am. I’ve given plenty of clues. You don’t count.

Well people close to the program have said otherwise and is $3 million that much? I would imagine Xavier has some boosters with businesses with plenty of money to provide for at least that. I would expect with this years success, more NIL money will come into the program. Xavier is in the business of taking care of guys in the program, they won’t play that game for recruits though from what I understand. Prove your worth so to speak. One other thing. If NIL money wasn’t competitive, I don’t think Jones or Freemantle would have returned. Bama wanted Jones and he chose to stay with Xavier.

OK, I’ll acknowledge that you’re the Woodward/Bernstein of Xavier basketball. You have virtually unlimited access to all the minutiae surrounding the program. Therefore you must be able to answer this question for me. What is Miller’s housing situation in Cincinnati and is he and Travis neighbors?

I have no damn idea and I don’t care.
Does that have anything to do with Xavier Basketball performance?
Nah.
“Hey let’s throw a hook with a Red Herring attached to it! He’ll bite!! “
Uh uh. Not playing. Bad call troll.

Edwards (maybe returns but I could see him leaving for a smaller school)
KyKy (gone)
Tucker (gone)
Freemantle (gone-would be shocked if he returns for a 5th year)

So the 4 frosh and Claude/Hunter return. Maybe Kraft and Edwards return. We need 4-5 MORE players I expect 1-2 more late frosh to join the class along with 3-4 transfers. Miller is going to be BUSY

Not so sure.

While it may seem like a no-brainer that Colby is heading to the NBA, I’m not a 100% convinced. He made a comment about it being Nunge, Kunkel and BoumÂ’s last time playing at Cintas. He said it as if he would be back- my immediate thought was - hmm… maybe he has a solid NIL in place for next season and he is going to stick around for another year.

I feel like Edwards has turned a corner and I’d a legit option at this level (even if it is not as a starter).

I have a gut feeling Zack Freemantle is coming back. He has shown he is capable of being a special player- deserving of more recognition - and a full season of him playing at the level he was starting to reach before his injure would do wonders for him. X would benefit by him returning and I think he would benefit by returning to X next season.

I have no idea what the real story is with Tandy and Craft. There appears to be some real potential in both, but it’s just not clear if they are the type of players who have the will and tenacity to fight through injuries and rough patches and eventually elevate their game enough to earn a bigger role on the roster. maybe there is still hope.

I wish we were seeing more from Miles and Tucker. I’d be completely happy with those two sticking around if Miller feels there are enough scholarships to go around.

I would love to see and could see a situation where everyone who is eligible to stay does (especially those who are part of that top 7/8 rotation)

Colby
Jack
Zach
Jerome
Claude
Edwards

Craft
Tandy
Miles or
Tucker

A prove Big from the portal (if Nunge and/ or Free does not return)
