About a week before Miller left I posted that if X was going to keep a top 16 program they were going to have to pay top 16 money. No one seemed to want to acknowledge that. If X pays "stupid money", whatever that is, Miller is probably still here. Whatever the case, look at Memphis... Probably paying top 16 money, AND now facing violations. So count your blessings.

So what are you saying? Paying Top 16 money for a coach will end with that coach getting busted for recruiting violations? Or are you saying that Miller will likely fall into the same kind of trouble as Calipari, and by not paying him stupid money he won't have to do it at Xavier? I'm not sure what the point is.

It's my opinion that it's the programs responsibility to retain it's coach. If you pay him enough he stays. That simple.

The Memphis comment was really kind of an aside. They have a larger budget I would assume, and yet that program is probably worse off. So despite the limitations X operates under compared to some others, there is still reason to be thankful for where the program is at.

Well said PMI. I agree completely.

And the entire city of Philadelphia smells like farts.

According to other site he wants out of LOI for various reasons, recruiter was fired a week after he signed, other coach left team, Heath has yet to even call him since he signed.

I read that Famous's dad told him to stay and UCF's coach would not let him out of his LOI.
I bet after a 24 hour cooling off period Famous stays at UFC. Famous strikes me as one & done NBA'er....he'll probably dominate at UCF for this season, while enjoying the balmy Florida weather and ladies, then drop his name in the hat for early entry...

Don't even know where to start with this one.

1. He's committed to USF
2. One and done NBA talent doesn't go the JUCO route.

If you're not smart enough to get into a legit school you do. Hello, Shawn Kemp. (Although I seriously doubt that is the case with Famous.)

Of course, if you're not smart enough to get into an NCAA university, you could always just go to Memphis. They'll make you eligible. I think you might have a good chance of making the cut at UK now too.

Not sure about this day and age though.

You either cheat on the SAT (Derrick Rose/Memphis) or go to Europe (Jennings)

Agreed...at least for the good one-and-dones. There are always a handful of guys who aren't cut out for school who declare for the draft after a year or two of JUCO ball. They rarely make it and probably wind up like every other goof working a 9-to-5'er (like us!).

You know what's funny, the last month a few people have demonstrated through their actions that they don't consider Xavier "one of the big boys." I'm looking at the people who were employed here a few months ago as examples.

Atta boy, DC.

Consider this a public rep point.
