Time to move on

[Xavier]

I’d be shocked if Jack left. This would be his only real college season. Though I was surprised when Gates left (but even him leaving makes more sense than Nunge) so who knows. If he does leave with the transfer rule it’s too early to say we’re screwed. Travis loves snagging transfers and has had a good success rate. I expect that to continue to be a big part of Xaviers roster construction

Creighton always has some 7 foot rim protectors, that would be great to get. Guards win in March so I am ok with them focusing on that, take swings on guards/wings every year and see which pan out. It’s worth it IMO

If Jack Nunge leaves early (He’s in grad school now) we are screwed next year.

This.

Really hope he stays.

Jack will be 23 years old in a couple weeks and engaged to be married soon (I believe). He may decide that it's time to move on with his life.

Similar in terms of perimeter oriented guys. If he recruits a SF, it's a perimeter oriented guy. Once again, we have no post players in this class. Are we no longer into developing big men?

Who is the last PF he recruited and developed into a contributor? Hankins was a C, if you buy Steele recruited him.

Freemantle, Miles, Edwards and Taylor.
Stainbrook, Hankins, Jones, etc.
I think it is easier to snag a transfer big man than to get a freshman post player who can actually play

Freemantle is a solid player, but I expected him to be better than he is based on early returns. Is he getting better?

Miles Or Edwards won't see the floor this year. Who's Taylor? Andrew? Travis? Stop. They both played like 10 years ago.

The other three were Mack guys and Mack always made the PF a priority.

dude, he was playing for Ferris State when Mack left. Mack never recruited him. Steel did.

You are so desperately trying to make you point that Steel doesn't recruit tough big guys that you are creating an alternate world where the facts are different so the actual facts don't undermine your opinion.

Steele recruited Hankins. Just accept it.

I think he means Elijah Tucker possibly? but hes far from a post player that is going to be effective in the big East at this current state. Being 6’7 he needs to really bulk up.

You are quite wrong in saying mack never recruited him fyi

Tucker is more of a wing that will knock down outside shots. He’s not a post player.
