Don James transferring

[XU 87]

And the fact that the guy who he finally replaced in that game was worse...and in many other games....but those Xavier Way points, ya know.

How bad did it have to get before the guy in the suit said enough? Welp, pretty bad because Don finally got a chance and played well. Then he barely even saw the floor again.

That reality.

James played 27 minutes in the last three games of the season and scored a total of three points. He simply didn't have the talent to play consistently at this level on this team. Period. End of story. The fact that he had a career game of 6 points (1-4 from the field and 4-7 from the free line I might add) when playing 25 minutes against St. John doesn't change that fact.


There was a reason that his alternatives to Xavier were schools like Austin Peay and Campbell.

James also had a Kenpom offensive rating of 80. That's terrible. To give it some perspective- Q had a rating of 86, which is also bad. (Carter had a rating of 95, which ain't too good either, but a lot better than 80.)
