A "recruiting trip" all the way to Kettering...during a dead period...to "evaluate". Like he didn't have an entire weekend to "evaluate". Like he didn't have half of Monday to "evaluate"? Like he can't get on a charter plane on an off day to "evaluate". As I said. No one who was playing at Flying to the Hoop on Monday evening is anywhere near on Xavier's radar. It's 45 minutes from Kettering to the radio show. All this after his team has stunk it up for the last 3 games, been barely passable for the 15 games before that, and he had just skipped a post game radio show after a horrible performance. I'm saying the guy is not answering legit questions about his performance, and that is what he is paid handsomely to do.
I want excellence, and we're not getting it. If that's insane, then call me Howard Hughes."I Got CHAMPIONS in that Lockerroom!" -Stanley Burrell

If he had a "Reflection Session", apparently it wasn't offensive in nature. When Shannon Russell asked him what changes we might see tomorrow, he said:
"We've competed a lot since the Marquette game, but your going to see a big difference hopefully on the defensive end. You'd better see a big difference on the defensive end and on the backboard".
Thanks for that answer Travis Cronin.
Welp, we'll see, but what about the anemic offense, Travis? I know you don't want to give any secrets, but, ya know, our defense is practicing against our offense. I'm sure that is really a test."I Got CHAMPIONS in that Lockerroom!" -Stanley Burrell

Did they play Monday night? The answer is NO. Woodward played Saturday. St. V played Sunday.
All the players we are interested in were done before 3:00 on Monday. There was zero reason for Steele to be there after that.
And to my knowledge, no one else that needed to be seen was even playing Monday afternoon/evening anywhere."I Got CHAMPIONS in that Lockerroom!" -Stanley Burrell

It’s my OPINION that unless Xavier suddenly found some consistently good outside shooters the offense is not going to show any remarkable renaissance. I don’t BELIEVE that it’s a case of the wrong person shooting, or people not getting open. NOBODY on the team has been a CONSISTENT threat to make the three point shot. EVERY player has laid their fair share of bricks and while several of the players have gotten hot for a game or a stretch, none of them can be counted on to sink the shot consistently enough to build an offense around them taking that shot.
Could be that Steele sees the same thing and therefore is concentrated on the defensive creating some offense. Thus his comments about defense.
Xavier has lost several supposed outside shooting threats over the last couple of years.....Curtis, Kennedy, Bishop, Ridder, all come to mind. KyKy hasn’t developed into a consistent outside threat. Upperclassmen haven’t developed their outside game as we had hoped and expected they would.
The recruiting “experts” on several sites have said this exact same thing and pointed out that Xavier has been targeting shooters in its recruiting for 2020 and 2021. Lets hope that those coming in next year provide some relief and help.
