Feel free to list past Xavier classes with two freshman as impressive as Tandy and Freemantle. I can wait. Miles and Ramsey are redshirts - there's no way we can judge them either way at this point.
There's plenty of reasons to knock Steele. Recruiting isn't one of them. Also, this past season was disappointing for sure, but it's kind of weird people are just assuming Xavier would have missed the tournament. They would have been right there in the discussion, and not to mention the team's second best player didn't play the last three games, which would have made a huge difference.

Losing Duncomb to IU stings because he would fill a need in the paint, but time to move on. They just offered a 7 footer from Hargrave who looks very skilled on video.
The bigger local Cincy fish is PG/SG Paul McMillan from Woodward. We've been on him the longest and he is higher ranked than Duncomb too. I believe Steele is his lead recruiter. Can't miss on that one."Xavier born and Xavier bred, and when I am gone I will be Xavier Dead!"

Xavier always goes to the NCAA tournament...Projecting anything less than that this season feels like folly--Eamonn Brennan, ESPN (Summer Shootaround, 2012)

The Xavier team that got knocked out of the Big East tournament by Depaul was going to make the NCAA tournament? Highly unlikely. I also don’t get the whole Miles is going to be a superstar. He was hardly recruited by anyone coming out of high school and wasn’t ranked very high. I hope he turns into something great but he is a big time project in my book.

Who said Miles is going to be a superstar? I for one said he has the "potential" to be very, very good. And he was ranked 193 by 247 coming out of high school (3 stars). So he wasn't some local low level recruit that X just threw an extra scholarship at.
You original argument was that 1) Steele isn't recruiting well and 2) he's not getting any local recruits. You're objectively wrong on both counts.Last edited by XU 87; 04-08-2020 at 11:33 AM.
