Whether Xavier’s current or future fans will buy tickets or otherwise follow the team is highly dependent on the success of the program. And under the current scheme the Program will only be...

Let’s face it. Absent another Big, the whole season hinges on the health of Fremantle., Hunter and Hugely. We have seen what an ineffectual front court nets you in the body banging Big East.

I agree. I hope the addition of the new guards does not have him reconsider his options. He should have a great future .

I don't have a dog in this fight so I should probably stay out of it but will opine. . MOR started this thread to encourage board members to contribute to the collective. And he rightfully has...

“Good luck to Dez! Without him, last season’s disaster would have been cataclysmic. I wish him well. If I were a GM, I would never trade Dez for Maddox. The difference in getting shots off in the Big...

Independent of the question of any dissension in the men’s basketball locker room over differences in NIL compensation is the looming question of whether Title IX is going to be deemed to require...

“Part of me wonder if Dez is just looking for the biggest NIL”.
Given who he is. Where he might fit. What would you estimate is his FMV?

Dez Claude is intriguing. Most would agree he is Xavier’s best basketball player, He is highly athletic. He has NBA ambitions . But what is his NBA position? He is a poor shooting guard. And he lacks...

The NCAA lacks the jurisdiction ( and even if they had it) it would violate antitrust laws for them to try to cap what any student athlete could receive by way of compensation. In a belated attempt...

“I'll just say that, should we get to unions and direct compensation from the universities themselves, then watch out. That could - may most likely - lead to cuts in non-revenue sports. The Title IX...

Being a college basketball coach is obviously a lot more challenging . Recruiting and developing high school players so they can get experience and the enter the portal sucks. Re- recruiting those...

Jay Wright was known for recruiting and developing players. So it was interesting but not surprising to see him say that model does not work today. He says the portal plus the extra Covid year...

Apparently he was sought after. And with Bentley Joseph on board they have done well. Interesting that Kim English says “ we have plenty of money…won’t be out bid”. ...

And I would add. Many student - athletes prioritize sports over academics. And in fairness, the demanding schedules of practices, games, and travel can make it challenging to allocate sufficient...

It is safe to say no one knows where College basketball will end up when it is all sorted out but it is safe to say it will never be the same. The reason stocks go up is there is money chasing them ....

Did I hear Izzo correctly that the “ high school kids” and I assume he is talking 4 and 5 stars are asking triple the amount of NIL money than the same cohort was asking last year? If yes, the money...

If you want to refine your taunting skills, choose someone who doesn't contradict themselves every other day; otherwise, you're just picking the low-hanging fruit.

He is from Orlando. It will be tough to beat out Florida since it is close to home and they have a well funded collective. But since he is also looking at Providence perhaps he wants to play in the...
