I see zero venom to the players, but plenty to the guy in charge who is getting paid to be mediocre.
Welcome to fandom when the leader is incompetent

My 50th reunion was a few years ago and thankfully pre-covid.
Glad Graham was still the president, although hopefully the new lady does well.
The school did a very nice job of hosting the returning class (and OLC grads like mrspaulxu from the same year).
Lots of activities, and a dinner in the Conaton Board Room where he did a lot of interaction with us.

LOL. You need to meet some Kentucky fans.

Xavier isn’t Ky but are they starting twitter accounts to attack players and other fans?

I’ve seen nothing like that. Plenty of Steele diss tho

I've seen plenty of Social Media attention thrown at Paul Scruggs. Way to treat a guy that's Top 15 in scoring. I'm glad you folks weren't around in 1999, Darnell Williams likely would have needed witness protection from these people.

There is a really bad one out there. I won’t do the idiot that started it justice by posting but I am sure you will see it at some point. Felt bad for the guy who it was aimed at. Attacked him because he is a positive guy. His picture, gay slurs and also called a retard. And twitter let’s that crap just go.

Recruiting is going to take a hit because one person who may or may not be a Xavier fan has taken to Twitter to attack players, Steele and other fans? That's really how you think this works?

Twitter = Sewer

This world would be a better place without social media.

I doubt it has any effect. It’s pretty standard fare for some fan groups around the country. By now I’d guess that it doesn’t effect recruits at all and that they have learned to pay it no mind.

Now when the coach is obviously on the hot seat, as evidenced by what the local media has reported and by what can be seen on this and other websites, that is sure to have some effect on recruiting. Players want to be assured that the coach they are signing to play for is going to be around for awhile. But the chance of a coach leaving sometime during a players career is really really high. Most often it happens at a school like X because the coach chooses to leave, not because they have been fired. But look around at the NCAA field this year. There are a lot of coaches at those schools that are new, or fairly new, and who are not lifers. They came from somewhere else and eventually will probably end up somewhere else, and not always by their choice. Crean was doing a pretty good job at Georgia with his recruiting, even though his teams weren’t very successful and he was known to be on the hot seat. The situation at X right now mostly effects the 2024 recruits, not the players already here or already signed. That changes depending on what happens with Steele over the next 2-3 weeks. Recruits are going to look more at what actually happens than at what fictional people in a virtual world are saying to each other or about someone.
