Xpectations: you were right about Lyons

Lyons moved up to 103. Just 3 or 4 shy of a 4 Star.



And I was right about Gates:

UC - 2 4 stars (Gates will take a major move up - could move into 5 star territory)

He moved up around 60 points to being a 5 STAR, #22 in the country.

Gates is good, no question, but Beasley was an absolute stud too. How did K-State's season turn out, anyways? One 5-star recruit, with effort and attitude problems to boot, does not a sweet 16 team make. Xavier is bringing in Lyons, Holloway, Frease, Redford and Walsh. Jamel MClean will also be eligible. I don't really see this as UC out-recruiting Xavier, which I believe was your point on your other posts.

Does Rivals mention anything about how lazy Gates is?

Cash Wright is also there at 4 star #82. Add in last years class and former 5 star all american Mike Williams and it's pretty good. Much better than left over JUCO's like year before last.

Both programs are recruiting well.

That is something I can agree on. UC is finally getting some good recruits. That Mike Williams kid seems like a pretty nice guy. Hopefully he stays healthy. The crosstown shootout should be returned to it's former glory soon.

And when it is, and when UC has a coach and program it can be proud of, Nancy Zimpher will be completely vindicated.

Won't keep UC fans from hating her.

Your right. Some will continue to hate her regardless. Of course if Huggs wears the mustard suit to the Shoe next year it should ease the pain. ;)

Nice recruiting class Mick is putting together over there in Clifton. Pretty good one on Victory Parkway as well.

Take a look and you might find that a point to that effect was actually addressed.

I'm not sure what article you're talking about. But I have heard a rumor that UC may have another guy that they may be signing in the near future. And the guy is allegedly pretty good. But it's so top secret that I can't get a name. Is it Bud Mackey?
