It's time to review Xavier

[XUFan09]

Logan Duncomb (transfer from IU) added to Xavier's roster. He didn't really get to play much between injury and illness plus being behind some serious frontcourt players, including an All-American. He seems like a solid depth piece that could be a good project.

As expected. Dude is married and would have turned 25 next season. He's been in college for a long time between redshirt and injuries.

Quincy Olivari to Xavier - from Rice by way of the Portal.

Big pick-up for Sean Miller.

Freemantle is not transferring.
That would be a stupid decision. With his foot recovery, X and staff are on the hook for a hundred percent paid for insurance plan.

Um, wha?!?!? Brilliant take Keith. I’m sure Fremantle was so overjoyed to have a season ending injury so he could bilk poor X outta all that free healthcare. W. T. F.

I'm sharing a clip from the Field of 68 (Jeff Goodman), which is about Quincy's actual announcement for Xavier:

The reason I'm sharing it is because of what I think it means for the Big East. Quincy covers his thought process towards NIL - you are thoroughly going to enjoy that, because it speaks to the kind of character I would think we all want when it comes to kids wearing the uniforms of our schools. He talks about wanting to be on the biggest stage, including a mention of the BET and MSG. Goodman literally refers to the Big East as the best basketball conference (for next year I believe) and how tough it's going to be next season.

Xavier beat out Texas, Miami and Auburn for this kid. He is a class act.

We're all having good moments in terms of setting up our rosters for next year. I just wanted to share this as one example of why the Big East is well positioned for moving forward. The portal worked for us (i.e. Xavier/BE) this time around, and the NIL was not a detriment.

Sounds like a great kid, congrats. I think the NIL is net positive for college basketball, but I like his perspective on immediate profit vs. what's better for him down the road. I didn't watch it past Olivari's section, but it's kind of funny that the next guy up was Jesse Edwards. He had publicly shamed Syracuse's NIL pot last week...

Wow, what a great kid. It's going to be hard to hate him when we play you guys!
