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.

Not getting any players like that in the last class, and not getting a few more of them over the last couple of classes, is exactly why X is where it is right now.

I think its dumb to play the what if game. It certainly plays for and against a program. You can insert anything you want.
What if Ed Pinkney had come to Xavier?
What if TJ Johnson's layup goes in against UMass?
What if Pete Gillen doesn't leave?
What if David West hired an agent after his sophomore year?
What if Tim Chadwell hadn't seen Brian Grant in Georgetown OH?
What if Drew Lavender didn't leave Oklahoma?
What if Justin Cage gets the intentional foul call against OSU?
What if Aaron Williams tip follow doesn't go in against Georgetown?
What if Kenny Frease lived up to his potential?
What if Anthony Myles doesn't foul out against Duke?

that was a shock to me..he would have been 14 p and 8 Reb and good defense. Wonder how it would have negative effected others like Hankins, Welage,etc.

He’s doing pretty well in the G-League, why does a “legit statistical reason” look like? He’s a 6’8 athletic shooter who just turned 22. He wasn’t going to creep into the 1st round unless something crazy happened, so I’d say the timing was about right for him to go. I wish he didn’t, but in hindsight he likely made the correct decision.

Interesting from presser today from Steele
- They may use two bigs in game at same time vs Georgetown.
- Q hasn’t practiced since game on Sunday because of knee.
