As an aside, I’d like a job that pays 3M a year and I don’t have to deal with things that aren’t easy. Sounds amazing.

In fact I’ll give 2M to the XU NIL fund just to make sure Millers job stays easy.

What? I don’t know what that has to do with it? If he thought he could get 3 stud guys to come in, he would.

But there are two sides to this…?

Speaking of NIL, NC state must be killing it. They spend more than Kentucky/UNC/Kansas this year? Clemson, too? Crazy how NIL has killed the parity as you predicted

The implication is that Free could be a deterrent to some bigger 4/5's deciding to come to X and at the same time people don't want to count on Free being available. The easiest solution to that conundrum is Free not being on the team which obviously Miller hasn't done/doesn't want to.

Let me understand this. He said : If you ( meaning me) want to force Free off the team …….to create that kind of firestorm”. “ Fine” . And you say…no.. he just meant Free could be a deterrent to anyone coming on the team. First , if he wanted to say what you say he implied he could have, and second that is not what he said. But forget that. This whole narrative that we might not get a big because of Free’s presence and there are not a lot of bigs out there sounds like next year’s excuse for another failed season. Sean dismissed ( or could not keep ) his entire front court and then kept Free who has not played for 2 years, and now with his ass hanging out for all to see, because Free may be a deterrent , or he just can't assemble a solid front court after sending every body packing , we should just “ accept reality “ . It doesn’t work that way where I come from.

Let me simplify this for you. No one is saying we can’t get a big because of free. Some on here think we can get 3 legitimate big men with free and hunter on the roster. I call that ridiculous. How is anyone even arguing the opposite? It’s insanity.. unless all of a sudden there has been a rule change and that now 7-8 guys on one team can be on the court at the same time?

I guess we have a lot of Posters that know a lot of peeps that get paid $3M per year to make stuff happen…but get by telling the dumb ass who hired them that the performance plan is “ not reality” and since they fired all of the front line workers they should get a free pass if they whiff again. Nice.

People keep saying "just sign 3 quality bigs, thats millers job, no excuses" Yet none of these people have explained how they would convince good bigs to come to Xavier when you have no idea what kind of minutes you can promise them. If you promise them starter minutes but Free and Hunter end up being healthy then this player doesn't get his minutes and becomes disgruntled. Other coaches will use things like that against you when recruiting against you in the future. "you really want to go play for this coach who llies to you about how much he'll play you?" Or you tell them we can't really promise you anything more than back up minutes so they choose a school they will play at then Hunter and or Free can't play and we're short players up front again.

There has been nothing suggested about how to fix this other than telling Free and or Hunter to move along. Just its Millers job to solve, and anything less is unacceptable. I wish it were that easy, Id demand an entire roster of all Big East players every year and nothing less than a national championship would be acceptable.

I mean, it's literally Miller's job to solve. Literally. That's what he gers paid to do. Yes, it's difficult, but he needs to assemble a winning roster. If he doesn't, it's a failure on his part.

Agreed. I have no clue why they don’t just go after the top 5 recruits every year. It’s crazy, why would they settle for less?

why settle for the top 5? need contingencies for injuries or guys getting sick and needing time off, or someone just having a bad night. Plus if they are playing for us they can't play against us. Might as well bring in the top 10 each year.

Well with nil you don’t even need to worry about scholarship limits. Just bring in the top 20 or 30 and call it a day.

You can bring in a winning roster that has something that involves reality. One legitimate 5 with a rotational 4/5, a shooter , and a healthy free and x is a tourney team.
