    Top 75 players tend to choose a small minority of D1 programs to play at. It makes sense you want to try to get on a stacked team.
    So most coaches are needing to develop players. It wouldn't take too much digging to see all the players he failed to develop significantly.

    All coaches recruiting against us, say lots of negative things about Xavier to help build their own case. You think Chris Mack and staff are the only coaches making such statements against us?

    Mack is doing what he has to do to get kids to Louisville....just like Steele is doing to get kids to Xavier. Mack is saying the same things every other coach in America is saying to get kids to join his program.

    Wait, is what he said not true? Xavier lives in the 80-150 range for recruiting. So do most schools that are good at basketball.

    It would take a full size Caterpiller to dig up players who Luke Murray "developed".
    I have seen only two great plays: Hamlet and put the ball into the basket

    Yeah it's true that's where xavier lives but he is still a douche. With his statement, he makes it seem like xavier is little sisters of the poor compared to louisville which is just not the case. Louisville has to do the exact same thing now since he can't recruit.

    This x100.... Recruiting is like making sausage. The process is nasty and very few are privy to what actually goes on, but the end result is delicious.

    Do you think Xavier and Louisville are on the same level? If he refers to X as a lower tier school (compared to Louisville) he is right.

    Sensitive bunch here- You probably don't want to hear this, but Steele certainly takes jabs at other schools while recruiting also.

    Are these schools ones where Steele formerly coached...just asking.

    Historically? No. Present day? Yeah absolutely.

    I know that coaches negatively recruit, I'm not naive. However, mack is a douche who is negatively recruiting against a school he graduated from and coached at. He sucks.
