    Sitting out a year and asking ma and pa to fork over some steep Jesuit tuition might be too steep . Hopefully X can find a way with Ben.
    Just because he has to sit out the year doesn't mean he's not on scholarship!

    If he stay at X on scholarship while sitting out a year, can he practice with the team?
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    I just read the story about Stanley on the Enquirer website, and it made my blood boil. Fuck the NCAA.

    Please let’s not call him that nickname. It’s associated with a rapist.

    Although I sympathize with Stanley for the manner in which the NCAA screwed with him, lest us not forget this team still appears deep enough to survive the loss of even a player of his talent.

    I expect to see Freemantle show growth from his very good freshman season. Carter, Miles and Griffin need to step up and hopefully we will see Ramsey in the lineup. Ramsey didn't see many minutes last year and was excluded from the scrimmage for, as I recall, "health issues". That, to me, is concerning. I'm just starting to begin to wonder if we will ever see Ramsey play. But, the other players mentioned have played recently so we seem to have acceptable talent in the front court. And, in regard to Stanley, I saw comments on this board earlier that his strengths are on the offensive end. I'll accept those comments at face value. Which means, frankly, if Jones is good enough to challenge for a starting position (as has been posted), our backcourt returnees and frosh recruits seem to be pretty damn good.

    Not to say we won't miss Stanley (and I feel for the guy) but this team still seems pretty well stocked (if I'm not being too optimistic). Now, we still have to play the games but Stanley's loss, to me, doesn't appreciably dampen this team's chances to compete in the B.E.

    Still for the record. F**k the NCAA!

    Guards solid. Looking a tad thin on experience with power forward position. Miles and Ramsey need to step up to support Zach and Jason. Who knows what Griffin. as a d2 player can contribute. Tyrique Jones was limited offensively but boy he sure could rebound. Freemantle is more of an offensive threat but he hopefully can step up on defense and rebounding. Carter is a mystery. Jason hopefully will show up as the man we witnessed late in the season. Let Ben play! I hope Stanley plays for X for 2 years.

    Unfortunately, that suitcase of money was inadvertently delivered to Cincinnati City Council. An honest mistake.

    I agree with this, and add that this could be a blessing in disguise, as it will allow more opportunity for development of our young guys, which will pay off in the long term. I'm not terribly concerned about this year, as it could end up a covid shit-show anyway.

    By the way, I fixed that for you. There's no reason to hold censor the anger the pathetic NCAA deserves. By the way, they approved several more waivers yesterday for, IMHO, situations with less merit than Stanley's.
