OKAY who is the newest commitment?

NEWS: Per @PeteNakos, Texas A&M guard Rubén Dominguez has committed to Xavier.

Dominguez averaged 10.2 PPG this season while shooting 40% from three.

shot 253 field goals last season 215 were from three. A pure shooter

a sharpshooter (40% 3FG on 6+ attempts per game) from the SEC that started 27 games for an at large team. 6-6 sophomore guard from Spain averaged 10.2 ppg in his first season of college hoops.

Well we all knew that we needed a big physical center and we got one. Nwoko sure looks the part. I think I read he is getting 3 million a year. I hope he gets more than the 5.9 rebounds in 21 minutes a game than he had at LSU. It looks to me that we are building the same kind of roster as last year. A lot of foreign players who are good three point shooters. I believe Dominguez was a three point specialist at Texas A&M. To be effective with a lot of three point guys we really need a downhill point guard. ( Anderson ). Most three point guys are much more effective if the point guard is creating open shots for them. I hope we land another big rebounding forward and at least two guys who can dribble ,play defense and move. The roster is not finished and I hope we get a couple more two way defensive guys who play hard

Miami guard Tru Washington has committed to Xavier. Was at New Mexico before coming to Miami, Fl

Washington averaged 11.9 PPG this season. Plays D at a high level

[Kevin Reilly]

Ask and you will receive. LOL. Now we are talking. I love this pick up. Washington is a defensive minded two way guard. Just what we need. We still could use at least another big guy who can defend and rebound plus a elite point guard if we can still afford one will really be a nice class. Is it too late for Anderson to return? Great news.

I heard Anderson wanted a bigger bump than Richard wanted to give

Ames is in today, but he may be a miss or a DWA

When you see who X beat out for Tru, you get the idea that Richard, with proper NIL, is doing all right in building a team.

Even Tre Carroll @Tre_Carroll12 commented
Man do I wish I had another year. Coach Pitino is cooking

[Kevin Reilly]

Pitino should have given him the bump. Anderson deserved it. Not sure if Buljan a 6 foot 10 forward from Croatia via New Mexico considered Xavier but he averaged a double-double last season at New Mexico. He would have been a great fit.

I like this pickup, because this guy is a tall, catch and shoot, deep, three point sharp shooter. A bigger version of Redford, but can also put it on teh floor a bit. Nice rotation piece. Not a starter.

I like this pick a lot more now, especially since X is looking to spend big at point, and wouldn't pass upon another 2/3 athlete who can defend and score. They're far from done.

6 boards in 21 minutes is highly efficient, especially in the SEC.

It was too late for Anderson to come back about 7 game into conference play. I think RP would have taken him back as a key bench player, but not as a starter. So would I.

I loved his attitude and pace, but he was a highly inefficient palyer. He had about 3-4 games where he absolutley took over offensviely, but more often than not, had consistently poor shot selection, seemingly with a requirment to challenge 7'1 guys at the rim 3-4 times a game, hoping for a bailout foul.

His numbers improved a little from 3, but still would be a bottom 2 started in the BE....well, maybe bottm 3 since SH is getting plundered.

I wish Roddie all the best. He should go to Miami. He'd light it up for 20 ppg there.
