March is still awesome. The rest of the season (and particularlyl the offseason? It's getting tough.

If I stop caring about the regular season, my interest in March Madness will surely drop. Might not drop to zero, but it will drop a lot.

None of this seems to be slowing down the season ticket purchases thus far.

I don’t think they are saying sport will be dead. Just they aren’t interested. I can see why some lose interest for sure. I love the sport (not just X) and still do

Yeah I don’t doubt a small number of people will become disinterested. I find it hard to believe any of us that post on here on a regular basis (the die hards) will be among that number but to each their own.

Seems a little contradictory to me that some of the people who argue that the value of the players is driven by the name on the front of the jersey are some of the same people who are becoming less interested by the changing of the players each year.

For me, if it says Xavier on the front, I am interested.

To each their own, by yeah I root for the team and not the individual players so much. Maybe when it’s a local kid or someone I have some kind of connection to I will pull for them a little harder.

Evidently the plan was for him to redshirt this year and he wants to play instead. Wasn’t going to happen at X so he will move on. I wish him the best of luck.

Send him to Triple A (Dayton), then we can call him up next year.

I am with you on this. We renewed our seats about an hour ago and were able to get the same seats we have had since the Cintas opened. Yes it still says X on the front and yes I can see that we likely will not recruit any freshmen in the future and yes the mid-majors will become our farm system. Things change but i am sticking with it and with Sean.

I live in the area and have some connections to some high school folks....and while I don't like the trend...I don't think this is a huge loss.

Having familiar faces like Free Hunter, McKnight, Swain and Green back expecting to play -all who fans know can compete at this level sure helps.

It will be interesting to see how fans react the following season when most of this team is gone because they’ve run out of eligibility and possibly no freshmen will have been in the team getting minutes. Now that might test some fan’s willingness to buy tickets.

I’d imagine Sean still wants to keep pulling in transfers AND adding at least a few freshmen/sophomores that he can develop (like we’re seeing with Swain and Green).
