It sucks to suck

[Xuperman]

Couldn't find a perfect thread for this, but it only seems fitting to place this here...

Three guys that Xavier was heavily involved with in the 2018 class are getting 'mocked' in the first round by ESPN:

Jaxson Hayes at 14. (averaging 10/5 and 2.5 blocks)
Talen Horton-Tucker at 24. (13/5/3)
Ayo Dosunmu at 25. (13/4.5/3)

These were all guys who were seriously linked to X late into the recruiting cycle. If X were to have gotten any one of them (even Hayes, alone, I think), this season could have already been off to a different start.

In the "what if" department.... how about if Gates would have not cut and run. He had no ligit statistical reason to try pro ball. He could have changed that and become the senior leader we are sorely missing, but instead left his teammates holding the bag. Blown chance at redemption IMO.
