Xavier is for Morrow, more specifically

Bingo

Guessing Ed plays the frontcourt at Xavier and is just fine with how he gets used.

Hasn't been announced that he is yet.

Not a step up over Morrow or Jacobson by any means....but if getting him as a 8 mpg back up to Jordy allows MJ to stay at the 4 and remain here....I guess its a win

Winthrop center. Averaged 4ppg and shot 26% from the stripe. Taller, less skilled version of Morrow

I know right. I mean...I'm way off base. 5 losing seasons in the last 6. 1 tournament appearance in the last 20 years. Only P5 team never to win a tourney game. It's almost like I'm making it up. And if this is true...it's the 3rd starter in 8 months to transfer out.

They do. But most don't lose like we lose. And it's safe to say we were going to struggle to fill Horne and Fuller's spots with quality players. It's very easy to say that we are going to have a near impossible time breaking even at this point in replacing Jacobson and Morrow.

Well said.

1. College coaches feeding kids lines of shit when recruiting them 2. Societal norm these days 3. Cable/internet exposure for lesser known (I.e. Mid-majors) schools 4. NCAA rules with grad transfers

Can't fire Miles for risk of mass defections!

Probably not...but at least he'd be in control of the decision which may not be the case next year.

Yes...football games are scheduled long in advance. We know probably 6-7 games that we will have this upcoming year...but most of the patsies are scheduled the year of.

Yes We host them this coming season

Of course...the ACC/Big 10 challenge is mandatory, the Creighton game is an annual thing and the tourney out West was done a couple years in advance. A lot of the other games are set up no more than a year in advance....maybe 2. If memory serves...the KU contract was just finalized, or at least, publicized in the offseason.

My guess is he probably would've delayed the KU series a year. The other games....were mandatory or scheduled long in advance

Yep. Also have to think Miles has a pulse on the recruiting side of things and the existing players too. If he's expecting another transfer or two or for us to miss on the bigger fish recruiting wise....even he may think the writing is on the wall.

Don't know if I can go to the dance standard yet...but I agree with you in that we are a different team with White and likely are a NIT team at worst. Of course, that being said, you play the games with the players you have, not who you want to/think you will have.

Is it that they don't want too...or do they just weigh the other factors more heavily than they do hope?

I love some of the individual pieces on next year's team. I still struggle seeing it be a complete team. I still struggle seeing our defense improve. I still struggle with the trend that we are seeing guys who have been major factors leave. I struggle seeing the team gel for the entire year. I hope I'm wrong. And I hope we don't lose anyone else. But something tells me we are just delaying the inevitable here.

Think the meltdown is/already has been occurring

I think that moving on from Miles would've been the best decision, especially now in light of the transfers after the season. Him expressing interest in the NM job is the last reason why I wouldn't want him coaching here next year. He's just looking for an out. I just hope it happens soon so we can try to recover from it yet this cycle.

The guy who has been known to live in the weight room and was the strongest on the team?

Wont disagree that a change restarts the cycle of rebuilding the difference between us is you still have hope for next year where as I see it as a foregone conclusion and only delaying that cycle I hope there are no more transfers. Of course, that was said last year in the spring and this year after Horne too.

Dont believe this will go down or any validity to it Would probably be the best possible outcome for everyone though if it did.
