Jimmy Farr

I absolutely love the Senior jump Farr has pulled off. I can't wait to see him against UC's big men on Saturday. The fact that he is a lefty and has post moves makes him tough to defend. A lot of post players have trouble defending naturally left handed players.

Edit: Gives you an idea why Mack took a chance on Kamal who was also a lefty. He just didn't pan out.

Do you really think that Kamall being left handed factored in to why Mack brought him here?

Maybe. Or at least that coupled with his ability to jump off of his left foot only.

Jimbo Farr is the second coming of Jason Love.

Yes!!!!

Hi praise indeed.

I do agree that he has earned the comparison to this point.

Xavier has had some notable players patrolling the paint and J Love will always be one of my favorite.

My guess is that the value that would be added from Farr's 3P shooting is negated by the way it takes him away from the rim (even when not shooting), where he gets a lot more value on the offensive boards. Kudos to Mack for recognizing this and turning Farr into a force down low.

You know Xavier is good when the best 6th man in the country might be not even be the best 6th man on the team.

Sounds like something Andy Mac might say.

Ergo, we got the best 6th and 7th man in the country. Has the "best 7 man" term been used/recognized in college basketball?

Farr is another example of an XU guy with some raw talent who worked hard and learned how to play the game. Now he's going to make some money playing this game post college.

Well done.

I believe that with his size and rebounding ability he can make it in the NBA, even if just as a bench/role player
