Xavier recruits and transfers

[muskieman]

Nezh is not ranked, right? With the possible loss of both Free and Nunge, will X go after bigs in the portal or is there an international big that can control a game like Nunge can?

Miller has said that both of those things are goals of his. But those will not come about until after this season is finished (hopefully around the 1st of April). I’d say that baring something completely unforeseen, Free and Nunge are both finished after this year.

Europe? Dev League? Neither will be drafted so its not completely out of the question they stay.

when asked about Jack, Sean said Jack has not said if he will leave. A couple of things might be that his wife has a good-paying job in Cinci and loves being here. Jack also loves Cincinnati and if he is not in the mix for the NBA can any other league pay him more than his wife, and he can make here?

Sean expects to add 2-3 or maybe 4 more players. Missing will be Souley, Adam, and possibly Colby but X could lose Kyky, Miles, Tucker, and maybe Zack and/or Jack How many of you wanted Jerome gone after last season but would welcome him back next year?

2024’s Christian Bliss is hearing from an influx of high-majors. He talked with
@Stockrisers ; Villanova’s pursuit, Virginia and his recent visit, Xavier and Kachi Nzeh aka recruiter.

The newest schools to reach out to Wofford’s BJ Mack, as he told @Stockrisers
: Xavier, Mercer, NC State, Texas A&M, Coastal Carolina, SMU, Florida, Missouri, and Providence.

Now that Anderson is out at St John's maybe Yaxel Lendeborg, 6-9 230lbs who can shoot from the outside and has some guard skills might reconsider his commitment. He picked the Johnnies over New Mexico and Xavier. He has been named the Arizona Community College Athletic Association Player of the Year and was a third-team All-American. Not that X needs him but just in case

Three players from Butler are in the portal. Tate, Taylor, and Wilmoth are all leaving

Taylor is a big loss for them from a production standpoint but he was not a great decision maker or shooter from memory. Other fellas appear to be Seniors grasping for straws. Butler may have a rebuild brewing.
