Let's just say this. The Xavier players pass the "eye" test every year and our players haven't passed that same test. Either they have out-recruited us, or they have out-coached us. You take your pick If you want to say we have out-recruited them, then that makes our coaching staff look even worse. When I have watched X, I see lightening fast guards who all can shoot. I see the long athletic players inside who also can run and shoot. And, I see a team that has been going deep into the NCAA tourney. Yes, I also see Kenny Frease. He is nothing special, but he's not bad either. He would have certainly seen a lot of minutes on our teams the last few years. X owns this city in basketball now, as much as it pains me to say this. There's no way this should have ever happened, yet it has. We need to step it up big time and put them back to where they have been for most of their existence, and that is our doormat. I've seen nothing in our recruiting that will make that happen in the near future.
