But I agree we will all know in about a month anyway and I am sure Sean will still be leading the blue and white and will again get some stud recruits to commit for the 09 class.

I agree. He will be back next year. and if X goes far in the tourney, we should have a solid chance at landing Ari Stewart.

Where did you hear this "rumor"?

A guy on the A-10 board saw Lyons play last night and posted a report here.

Read posts #1, #5, and #10.

Unfortunately, Brewster fell to Hargrave 102-93. Ending a nice run for Cheeks. No boxscore but I would bet he scored pretty heavily.

Someone posted it on the rivals Xavier message board. Apparently, some of the coaches competing with Xavier for the NYC recruits are planting seeds of doubt in some of the players that Miller will bolt after this year.

None of this is a big deal, though. I'm sure the recruits have brought it up to Miller and he's told them what's what (whatever that may be).

I heard you gotta look out for that left-handed crossover

(if you miss the reference check out his interview on youtube)

Lyons looks like he might give Mclean a run for his money next year for the slam dunk title. I think he is like 6'1 and can jump through the roof. Check him out on youtube. He has his own highlight dunk film in which he dunks over one guy. I have checked out a couple other videos of him and looks like he can really score. I dont think he will be the starter over Dante next year but I think he could be towards the end of the year.
