    Traditional Four Year Players

    I had a thought with all of the transferring, committing, de-committing, re-committing, etc. that happens in the modern world of college basketball, that it is now incredibly rare for a player to just play four years after only committing to one school during their recruitment and career.

    In the last 10-11 years of Xavier basketball, the only players I can think of that would fit under this would be guys like JP Macura, Sean O'Mara, and Dee Davis. I'm sure I'm missing guys, but it sheds light on how rare it is. Everyone else either committed somewhere else originally, transferred, redshirted, left early, had academic issues, etc.

    Obviously, X has no one that fits that as a senior year this year with Kaiser leaving, Q and Tyrique could be the next ones.

    Am I missing anyone?

    You couldn't think of anyone else?
    And why does it matter if they committed elsewhere beforehand?

    I thought Trevon played for us for 4 years.
    Must be wrong.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    James Farr also wouldn't qualify because he held an offer from Ball State.
