As to our '08 class, Frease (#49) was our only guy in their top 100.

I found it interesting that every single one of those uncommitted on that page has Xavier listed in the Schools of Interest column, the only school with that distinction.
Doesn't that say something about how the school has risen in recognition?

Shadow I am not sure but I think Gary was searching for only players that had an interest in Xavier. If you go to modify existing search above the list it will take you to a search page and one option is to search by school.

That's correct, mm. I first went to the site's front page, and then to the Xavier page, hence the results showing players interested in X.

I had the same first reaction but saw that button and thought it was pretty much a coincidence that Xavier was on every list of players not committed.

It seems as though there are two players interested in Xavier with the name, Omari Lawrence. Both are from the east coast. Both are in the 6'3" to 6'4" range. And both reportedly weigh 170 lbs.

The only significant difference is their rating (one is 4-star and the other is 1-star).

Maybe we're returning to the days when the NBA had multiple Charles Johnsons!

If that was serious about the two Omari Lawrence's, they are the same. The one star profile was probably submitted by a friend or relative before his actual profile was made and it was just never deleted. You can see that it lists his old school before he transferred, so that's probably the case.
