    Fans are fickle, but there was a time not long ago where the concerns were warranted. It is great to see Mack filling out some classes with 3 and 4 start recruits.

    I agree 100%. It was fair to question the recruiting for a time. Mack and company have rebounded nicely. This is a huge pickup for Xavier as far as I am concerned.

    Please. I love ya, Booze, but every one seems to forget the coaching transition. The Desert Raccoon left us in the lurch - not just from the Head Coaching position, but all the assistants, who are chief recruiters too. Let's not even talk about committed recruits being talked to about Lexus Vs Buicks. Dez was pretty good too.

    Recruiting is about building relationships over time. That is why you just can't keep having guys leave. We were able to be fortunate with JCraw, Tu and transfers to fill the gap, but to get the solid 4 star kids, you have to be in early. These are 2014 recruits we're talking about and we're all over 2015 kids now.

    Makinde was a guard then grew like 8 or 9 inches in a year. I love big men with guard skills.

Before, you might have to wait a year to get the guy, but now he wouldn't be able to attend at all.

    London's academics specifically look to all be in order.
    If they "look" to all be in order, that isn't acceptable. Also, they must absolutely be in order, not specifically in order. This is Father Graham's fault. Please fire Father Graham.

    Makinde on the floor with Jalen Reynolds is pretty awesome. And some serious athletic ability.

    Semaj staying one more year would be unreal.
