I guess the only advantage we have over UK is Mack being able he will have a great chance at playing a lot minutes early since Tyrique Jones will be our only big man besides Jake Walter, who will be a freshman and is more or a project.
UK is still in on a quite a few front court players, all ranked in the Top 25. Jaxson could end being behind higher rated kids at UK and if he sticks around, Cal is going to be bring more one and done type bigs who will play too.
I know I'm probably just pumping sunshine up my own rear, but hey, I'm trying to be optimistic.

He's not near the project that Walter is from what I've read and heard. Hayes is a lot more skilled than Walter and his game will translate easier to the college level, imo.
Unless X gets a juco big or 5th year graduate, Jones and Walter will be the only bigs on the roster next year. Looks like we're in a bad spot.

“But he has the tools.”
As a junior Hayes made the varsity squad at Moeller, a program that ended up playing in the OHSAA State Title Game in March, but he was a reserve. According to Kremer, Hayes averaged around three to four points a game, and played less than 10 minutes per contest.

This is spot on. The concerning part is that the '18 class is a crucial one in terms of building on momentum. the last time I feel like we struck out on so many recruits was the Brandon Randolph/Kamall Richards year. That was a smaller class sandwiched in between the Semaj/Jalen/Farr class and the Tre/JP/Ed/Sean class, so we had plenty of wiggle room

David McCormack to Kansas...(sigh)
I can't remember the last time we've been in so many kids' Final 2-4 schools and haven't landed any of them.
I know you're always going to lose more kids than you actually get, but all of these kids were priority type recruits, and most of them took official visits to Xavier. They weren't the kid X offered, but didnt' put a lot of time and effort in to. These have all been kids X really, really wanted.
We could finish in the middle to bottom half of recruiting this year in the BE.
