Nothing new in the sentiment....and I know others have written that there is a chance the Oversight Committee will get the NCAA to change their position and make all transfers immediately eligible, BUT XU basketball just tweeted out this video of Ben Stanley on the sidelines from last night's game:

I just don't understand the logic of saying, "hey everybody gets a free year this year, don't worry about it." but then denying a waiver to be honest, seems kind of backwards.

Speaking of the "free year" does anyone think we will have guys take advantage of it? Will Carter, Griffin, Johnson, or Scruggs come back for another year? Will X want them back? What does our incoming class look like and how does that affect who X would want to come back? I think Scruggs is gone and wont be back. Wonder about the other 3? And then the others moving moving forward do we count on any of them eventually using that extra year?
Wonder how Steele looks at roster management with this free year?"I’m willing to sacrifice everything for this team. I’m going to dive for every loose ball, close out harder on every shot, block out for every rebound. I’m going to play harder than I’ve ever played. And I need you all to follow me." -MB '17

Let's assume Stanley, Kunkel, Wilcher and Jones are all back. Sounds like Stanley gets good minutes. Do the other 3 take anyone's minutes? Nate Johnson has played pretty well. Are these guys an upgrade from Nate yet?
I can't see Steele throwing in Wilcher and Jones into the Shootout as their first ever real college game.

Well not sure whose minutes he will take but up until he had to quarantine, Jones was going to start, so I am sure he will play a lot. Kunkel and Wilcher can shoot so they will also get a chance to show what they can do. Against EKU Xavier had 4 guys play 38 minutes or more. All of those guys could have played a lot of minutes in that game. I think if all are able to play Xavier will just go 9 or 10 deep and play the hot hand. Good to have options.
