    Lol my brain isn’t currently functioning at full xavier basketball capacity because of work demands, but I can’t think of a 2018 kid we’ve talked about much. Do you mean Kennedy? Because that would be hilarious.

    Only in the wee hours of the night, and that’s not when they play.

    Hilarious in the sense that many people on the board thought it was no longer an option for him. And also hilarious for all the SMU fans on twitter. Not in a demeaning way, as X isn't in the position currently to turn down capable (or once thought of as capable) players. Right now, Xavier is in the position to have 6 scholarships open next year (5 if KK commits and Elias King stays committed). With Samari Curtis decommitting, X shouldn't be in the business of turning an '18 player away for what might be a '19 commit who is higher ranked. I just think recruiting is so fluid, and the offseason shows that, that it is a pretty risky strategy. If he commits, great. If he doesn't, it isn't the end of the world.

    And yes... The sentence above was sponsored by Captain Obvious.
    Why dont we just measure height as standing reach? Honestly, what does the distance from the ground to the top of someones head have to do with anything?

    What if someone has a really long neck? or a narrow & long head?

    We should measure from the ground to the top of their shoulders (where their arms start), and from the ground to the end of their extended fingers above their head. So I know both of those measurements, and the difference between the 2 would essentially be the length their arms.

    I was told by my only semi-inside source that it really didn't look to be an option for him anymore, so I think most of those assumptions were right. But, I think circumstances changed, i.e. Samari decommit, and it had an impact on the viability of it, for both sides. Never a dull offseason. Just looking forward to seeing another season of X basketball, and especially seeing the sophomores (and juniors, too) make a big jump and the Steele Era to begin.

    He obviously wanted to come to Xavier and the de-commitment was more on Xavier than on him. Obviously Xavier is hurting for eligible bodies next year, so they are willing to take a flyer on him.
