They think after last year, after literally squeeking by 6-7 powerhouse teams like Wofford, Akron, George Mason, SLU, Fordham, GW, for a W, that they are the throne of the A10 and a perennial NCAA team....If they lose 1 of those games, including the one where GW had the game won but put too many players on the court for a technical, then they are out on NCAA selection sunday..
Staten and the rest will be good for them in 2010, that will be the year where expectations should rise. but next year I could see a big letdown..Especially when they have the bullseye on their back...

This is a good pickup for dayton. Staten, Berry, and Spearman is a very nice freshman backcourt.
We hadn't offered, but I don't think it was due to a lack of his talent. We have other priorities to focus on - small fowards and power forwards.

I just read that Dayton is one of only three teams in the nation (along with UNC and Tenn.) to have commits from a top 100 PG and top 100 SG in 2010.
The scary thing is Jesse Berry could make his way into the top 100 as well.

Staten may be good. Very good. But when he comes around as a freshman in 2010-2011, Holloway will be a junior, and Lyons a third year soph. Good luck plying your trade against those two. And when finally Holloway then Lyons leave, Dee Davis will be a sophomore.
That my friends is the best thing about Xavier basketball, continuality. There is very little drop off from one year to the next. So while Staten may be top notch, he'll face veterans above him and then a future NBAer to match him (Davis).

Yeah, Xavier would have offered if they were looking for a shooting guard in 2010. As it stands, Xavier currently has about 80 shooting guards on its roster. Spearman is really good, but not what Xavier needed in this particular recruiting class.
I really like our backcourt for the next several years, but Staten is very very good and will likely be able to hold his own as a true freshman. He's very athletic and very quick. What's really going to be interesting is the match-up down the road between Staten and Dee Davis. It will be a sight.

Oh ya!!! I can't wait!! and we will land two of the following hopefully for 2010: Weatherspoon, Martin, McKenzie, Jones..and for 2011 were in the mix for Davis, Etherington, and some other great potential recruits. The future looks bright for X!!I'm glad UD is improving. St Joe's has some great talent coming in. UNC Charlotte is doing ok. Lasalle has a great center coming in... UMass will improve. Dont know about SLU or URI. But hopefully the other teams are following our lead. The future looks bright for X!!
