6'11" of Ft Wayne IN, #32 ranked nationally, has knocked X off of his list. His final 8 are IU, Purdue, Georgetown, UCLA, NC State, Iowa, Louisville, Michigan St.

X is still not quite there to getting these very highly ranked players, while the Georgetown brand still shines despite our relative thrashing of them recently.

I wouldn't say as much that he knocked X off his list. Recruitments go both ways.

Trevon was ranked #30 by Scout. Semaj was top 30 I believe. Xavier is a consensus leader for Paul Scruggs who is ranked #37 (and as high as mid-20's on other sites) and also in the mix for Kris Wilkes who is easily Top 20. They are also considered in the lead for multiple other guys in the #50 range (although I know your point was "very highly ranked players")

Also, not to say things wouldn't have ended the same way, but I do not believe that Malik Williams was made a priority by Xavier's staff based on what I have read.

Fair points all.

This is true. But in fairness, staffs often back off when they feel they don't have much of a shot and their continued recruitment would be a waste of time and/or could hinder other recruitments.

And to help sum up how bad ESPN recruiting coverage has gotten, they still have the Ft. Wayne Malik Williams as having committed to Clemson.
