2022 Recruits

[Xuperman]

I'm not sure how I feel about the headline that Ward is a 'steal' for Xavier. They further emphasized it twice in the piece. What exactly makes it a steal (3 times!)?

I guess players like this is not supposed to even consider X. Maybe Dayton would be a better fit.

I take offense. Am I wrong?

(Oh, looking at a 14 year old big...is that weird or am I just old?)

Hold on a minute. He's ranked #36 on rivals and has a national composite of #44. The writer was on hand at one of the countries premier hoop events and claimed "stole the show". To me it's obvious that he saying X got a steal, was referring to one of the usual suspects not getting him.

Typically top 50 talent far exceeds what the A10 is comprised of.

But not the Big East.

Some recent video on Ward.

Again, he looks to be a really long/athletic wing. Shoots a good looking deep ball with a high release.

I hope there weren’t any recruits at the game last night. If there were, they got to hear the home crowd boo the players and coaches. Who the hell would want to be part of that?

I suspect the recruits wouldn't be worried about it. They wouldn't expect to ever suck like that.

Or they'd be thinking "Hell yeah I'm going to earn minutes over these lads"
