If Paul Scruggs decides to suit up as a Senior....no issues. It is after all a guard oriented college game. However if things shake out as expected, our backcourt experience will consist of 2 second year guys along with Dwon + CJ, barring anything crazy of course. That seems pretty thin in a guard heavy BEast, and who’s to say everything pans out. Had we added a sit 1 play 2 transfer like DJ Harvey all’s good, but as it stands, isn’t there 4 open slots for 2020? Expect Steele/staff to stay aggressive in landing another high 2020 guard.

Xavier is apparently one of several teams getting involved with late-riser JJ Traynor. Guys like 'brew can tell you what an absolute legend his dad (Jason Osborne) was in Louisville. McDonalds All-American, can't miss NBA star, etc. etc. who essentially smoked and flunked his way out of UofL. Hopefully this kid has a better head on his shoulders than his dad (and perhaps his dad has spent the last 17 years telling this kid not to make the same mistakes he did), because if he has half the raw physical ability of his dad he could be a stud.
Side note in looking at the article: it's nice being in that second group of schools listed as coming in late on one of these kids instead of the first group where we used to be: getting in on these "hidden gems" early and trying to hold off the "big schools" once they figured out a kid could play.

I like Carlson and Keon Ambrose. Hopefully we can get one of them
On a semi-related recruiting note: Check out this tweet

A huge chunk of the replies are "Xavier vs Kansas State" (or Xavier vs OSU). I think it's underrated how much that game did for our national profile even though we lost it. It's one of the most memorable tournament games in recent history.

Also, JJ Traynor is a PF as well. And our 2021 targets are almost all big guys outside of malaki branham

Purdue's 1st choice is Hunter Dickinson and then Carlson. And I think Purdue has one scholy to give. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out OR forget the B10. Let's get Xavier's 1st final four and beyond.
