Probably a little early but do we have any lines on Simeon Wilcher? I am guessing this is CJ's little brother as he goes to the same High School as CJ did. Five star ranked #8 in ESPN rankings. Also, the Cincinnati Taft High School kid - Rayshon Griffith. I've seen him play and he is really good.
Verbal Commits says X has offered Simeon, and yes he is CJ’s younger brother. No mention of Griffith there.
Sounds like X offered Gabe Cupps yesterday. PG for Centerville High School led them to state title as a sophomore (they had some other nice pieces on that team as well). He's very quick and can shoot, but is very undersized. Think Kunkel but 4 inches shorter and 20 lbs lighter.
Not sure if he has more growing to do. He's a true PG and a very good defender.
Apparently we just offered this 7' project.

He's attending a newer basketball Prep school in Vegas.

Strong possibility this guy ends up a Musketeer.

Xavier in the final 4 for this Texas wing.

Oh, so Kansas is in his final four even though he has not even visited (yet).Quote:

Don't hold your breath.
Yeah, he also mentioned NIL.
We can always use a skilled, athletic wing, but I would be surprised if he ends up here.....no big deal.
Hey, My hunch became reality! I like this guy.Quote:

Nzeh says his official visit was scheduled for the 16th, but he's changing that to an earlier date.
https://247sports.com/college/saint-...ier-191935889/
Apparently he's gained some weight. Now 6'9" 240......7'2" wingspan.
Will Miller take five this time around?
Per Instagram, Nzeh had a good visit. Both Green and Swain giving Nzeh some love/
Miller had much success in Arizona primarily because he got top 25 recruits. Elite talent is advantageous.
He probably won't get that this year with X but maybe if X makes a NCAA splash (sweet 16 or elite 8) , then he could get some top supreme(top 25) talent.
Miller had much success at Xavier with zero top 25 talent. Great coaching is advantageous.Quote:

I admittedly don't pay much attention to recruiting these days (until someone commits to Xavier), but I have not heard anyone mention Curtis Williams. I see Xavier is listed in his final 5 and that he's making his decision 9/19. Doesn't seem likely he ends up at Xavier based on the article, but who knows?

He is not committing to XQuote:

Wait, Swain plays for the Columbus Afrocentric Early College Nubians?!? What?
Yea competition is a little thin. Think they are state D3.
They're part of the Columbus City League - while the competition isn't what you'd find in, say, the OCL, their conference has had quite a few players who have gone to major D1 programs. Drew Lavender also came out of the City League (albeit at a high school that no longer exists).
Prolific Prep now the Undefeated #1 team in the country according to SI.....perfect record intact on the shoulders of Trey Green's 26 pts in the Championship game of the John Wall Invitational.

This is one helluva slugfest! Check out Green at 18:15 then from 20:18 on....looks like Odom with a cut throat 3 ball. This kid is physically put together man!!

I’m more and more of the opinion that Kam Craft is never going to do much for X May just transfer when Reid Ducharme (sp) gets here.
Craft is rooted to the bench and Reid seems to be a similar player?
Someone talk me off the ledge.
Ask me again next year when Kam at least has a little knowledge of Sean's system. Of course, if he gets buried behind other transfer portal players, that's another discussion for the future.
The latest Rivals ratings position by position are about and all 4 of the 2023 recruits are ranked between 21-25 in their position group. 3/4 are ranked in the top 100 overall irregardless of position. That’s pretty solid. Have to feel that even if they all don’t work out, that at least a couple of them will. Although I certainly wish them all a great career at X.
Trey Green scores 30 in the Grind Sessions Championship win....named MVP.

On to the Geico National Championship. Starts Thursday on ESPN. Green will make a significant impact next year.....book it!
This is a 2024 question, but are we still on Tyler McKinley? He's a very good local big man (Walnut Hills) who transferred to prep school Link Academy, who just won nationals. He's the type of guy we need in the Big East.
Sounds like he has a great relationship with MillerQuote:
