Maybe you are just being facetious.
But if not... Wow... How could some of you act like we're still an MCC school lucky to land one 4 star and crossing our fingers we somehow can sneak into the tournament. Have you not been paying attention to how much X has moved up the food chain in the past 10 years. We just won the BE regular season title and had a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Of course it makes him look really good to keep X on his list.
It is very possibly we finish with a top 15 recruiting class for the second time in three years. Even our new assistants (coming from very respectable basketball schools) said they couldn't pass up the opportunity to be at a big time program like X with such a great brand when offered the job.
We may not yet be the Duke or Kentucky or Kansas or Carolina level of recruiting, but we are getting closer every year. We have moved passed many of the BE schools and many of the other Power 5 schools in terms of recruiting and success on the court and in terms of being very good school to get an offer from.
To those of you fans/ alumni who are still in denial: X is legit people!!!!Last edited by IM4X; 05-23-2018 at 01:37 PM.

Of course X is legit. But no one who is not a Xavier fan sees a kid with a Xavier offer and thinks, "Wow, this kid must be a STUD if he's got a Xavier offer!" Xavier is, of course, well-respected. But we're not THAT kind of program.
Lest you forget, we also just had an alum, Cincinnati native leave to take a head coaching job elsewhere, and no one was particularly surprised that he left.

I can only guess that he asked for a decommitment to look at other options including X as he was recruited by Murray and Mack. Steele possibly wanted all incoming commitments to stay o he gave him the freedom to look and commit back to X if he changed his mind.
It sounds illogical for Steele to do this BUT it is the only theory I can come up with UNLESS Kennedy is lying and can only commit to SMU or Texas Tech.

Oh I remember that guy who left for the golden parachute deal because he didn't believe he could do ant better at X... And I would agree that he probably couldn't. So it was indeed the smart move for him to move on. I just don't like his selfish choice of trying to make himself look good, while attempting to make the X - the school that did so much for you - look small. Just wasn't necessary. Just wasn't classy.
The guy said he wasn't able to land the kind of players at X to win a championship... Which is BS because he did have the players (which Steele is also proving can be done at X). The truth is Mack just didn't have his very talented players prepared to be playing their best basketball during the tournament and didn't coach his best basketball during those games.
Interesting though that he leaves and X has two 4 star committed for 2019 with a few more 4 star prospects likely to sign as well.Last edited by IM4X; 05-24-2018 at 05:12 PM.

We can stop holding our breath as Hankins has officially withdrawn from the NBA draft.
