Looks like a smaller version of D Brown. And that's a good thing.

updated to reflect offers from X and others.
"He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

Thats a 3 right there. Quick enough to gaurd the perimeter, and is a slasher offensively.
That guy is exactly what we need in next years class. I think Ari Stewart sounds like a great option there too. I'd be happy with either, but not sure we need both.
I think a big PF would be our #2 priority.
I think we're set at the #2 for a while, with Graves, Dante, Cheeks and Redford all being options there.
PG feels locked up for a while also, with Cheeks and Holloway.
We're stacked at C for a while, but PF and SF is where we need to get some more depth in the pipeline. CJ and BJ are both gone after this year. That leaves a nice hole at the 3.
Gotta focus on 3/4 for the 2009 class. Thats why I was a bit surprised when we were down to the final 2 for Naji Hibbert.

Nice post.
Both Baskin and Stewart are the quintessential "3"s that we're after, but as mentioned before, I don't think the staff would only take one or the other. I think if both wanted to come to Xavier, they'd take them both, call it a day and wouldn't be mad about it.

- Naji could play the 3 at 6'6". Unfortunately he's going to no mans land. Must have been a good sell because I just don't get it.
- My thinking is that with BJ/CJ graduating and leaving a gaping hole at the 3, we need to fill those two spots with 3's as well. If issues come up due to grades, practice work ethic, etc. I would prefer to have another 3 than to go to a makeshift offense or defense.

From what I've read, Baskin should be classified as the "recruit most likely to come to Xavier."

Xman,
I just don't see Walsh being big and strong enough at this point. When looking at BJ and CJ I just can't see Walsh guarding them. Could he play there...yes. Could he play there effectively...physically I just don't see it....Maybe after a good year of lifting weights.
Plus with only 1 pure SF there would be a lack of competition thus a lack of pushing each other to be the best.
