OT - Xavier's 2010 recruiting class

[psax889906]

Is falling apart:

That is all.

 

[TheLivingLegend]

That was expected...

I heard X is very high on the two 7'4 brothers.

 

[psax889906]

Justin Martin better deliver for them or that 2010 class will have been a very big flop.

 

[Not Guilty]

Justin Martin is basically 2011 now.

Justin Martin is basically 2011 now.

Sure, if you want to look at it that way. He came in in 2010 so I'm still counting him as a 2010 recruit. Regardless the guy was very highly recruited until the qualifying issues became apparent.

The qualifying issues were always apparent. Everyone knew he wouldn't be eligible. That is why he "decommitted" from UL. Xavier can take partial qualifiers though, whereas most other schools can't.

Martin, unfortunately, will probably end of being pretty good for XU assuming he adds some muscle and learns how to play defense.

 

[Kingsley Court]

Martin will end up being a stud, hopefully. However, those two recruits left for a reason. Canty knew he wasn't going to get much playing time, if any with Martin and Wells over him. Lathem apparently had classroom issues all year, and didn't travel with the team a few times. Everyone saw that coming. They have a good class coming in, and can possibly get two solid players with the open schollies.

Don't let SWG see the OT ; )

They have a good class coming in

Wasn't last years class a good class? That's what xavier fans told me last year.

Last year was suppose to be a good class and has really struggled to start. It might be fair to question Macks ability to recognize talent. Too early to tell although it has to be a little concerning for X fans. I like Dez Wells and he is a good looking athlete but seems a little undersized for his style.

I feel very good about the direction of our program and I think most X fans are too

Interesting how many people judge a class after their freshman year. Two players who were supposed to be good, are leaving because they know they won't get PT. The best player from the class basically redshirted. We will see how it ends up.

Dude 1/2 of the class has already finished their career at xavier. And pardon me for not being impressed with griffen mckenzie. That is 2 poor classes in a row for xavier.

Mack should have taken the Tennessee job when he had the chance. His star is about the fizzle over on Victory Parkway and jobs like that will not come around again.

I think Tu Holloway will be declaring for the NBA Draft. He was named 3rd team all-american, he figures he is one of the top 15 players in the country and will be a zinch first round pick.

I hope Tu Holloway will be declaring for the NBA Draft. He was named 3rd team all-american, he figures he is one of the top 15 players in the country and will be a zinch first round pick.

Fixed that for ya

If he did in fact leave, and got drafted, that would be 3 straight years a Xavier player left early and was drafted.

Earlier in the spring, it was not known what Tu would do. He even missed a week of classes after spring break. Somehow that was no big deal ad he is now expected to return.

 

[TheLivingLegend]

Terrell will never make it in the NBA. His offense consists of puttin his head down and running into people. Back that up with poor shooting and 5'3 height. Cya in Europe.

 

[TheLivingLegend]

As for next season, I think X will be fine. They have a solid group of players to run through the GGCL... As of right now, alot could change, but id be concerned about the years following next.

 

[swg]

Ralph is back.

X will be fine. It happens with a new coach who isn't named Coach Cal..recruiting is cyclical. Especially since you work on kids for 2-3 years prior to them actually coming.
I'm curious as to how next year's class will end up before I get too smug.

How did I know on April 8 what TU would be doing on April 14?

Do not be mislead by the agent thing, TU is not coming back to X.

I had dinner tonight with a guy very close to the X program. Ralph may be right on this one. It's not an absolute done deal but it's a VERY distinct possibility.
