Not sure what Stanley Burrell and Derrick Brown have to do with this, but, yes, I don't disagree with you. The part of my post you cut off says if Steele's top 100 guys are more Harden/Bishop style, he's obviously not going to make it. Freemantle and Tandy are very obviously recruiting wins.
I still firmly believe there is no competent argument that Steele's recruiting isn't trending positively. You just can't make that argument (and I know you aren't trying).

Hate to break it to you but X still isn’t a school that brings in sure fire NBA talent. Mack would’ve gotten them there, though he had his fair share of struggles.

I hate Butler so much. Got in a fight with two jack holes butler fans after. They were just sitting there yelling “Bye Bye” and flipping day fans off. Eventually I told them to please STFU and leave. Eventually the police had to come in and tell the two BUTLER assholes to leave before somebody knocks you out.
If I was going to school for school, I wouldn’t have picked the University of Cincinnati. Dontonio Wingfield

Exactly. Expectations are a bit out of whack, which is totally understandable after the lightning in a bottle Mack had at the end of his reign (NCAA tournament aside). I mean has Xavier ever brought in a sure fire NBA talent from day one?
This season actually is almost exactly tracking Mack's first few BE seasons. I guess everyone has forgotten that though.Last edited by AviatorX; 03-07-2020 at 11:16 PM.

I think his track record of getting top seeds, style of play, and his ego is something that eventually attracts that type of player. Not so much him developing it.

I'll never understand how Xavier has had guys like Tyrone Hill, Aaron Williams, Derek Strong, James Posey, David West when we were in shit conferences. All of those guys were bonafide NBA players that had long careers.
We won't make that last 2% Travis Steele talks so much about until we start getting legit NBA talent. Either top ranked recruits that are sure fire studs or developing guys that end up as NBA talents; not borderline NBA guys that end up in the G-league or in some obsure European league.
Just look at what Obi Toppin has done for Dayton this year.

After Steele's first 2 years, we might be back to about 80%.
