Nice Article on Isaiah Philmore

And I really like the comment about strong chemistry forming within this team:

Need the "old Isaiah" the entire season.

I see Philmore having a very solid senior season, as is tradition at Xavier.

I see this team as being one of the mentally toughest Xavier teams in the last few years. The freshman will have to learn how to assert their will while playing against a much higher level of competition, but from what I've seen of them they have it in their character to succeed. We'll undoubtedly see plenty of freshman mistakes, but I don't see these guys getting discouraged or losing confidence. The younger players have great role models and great competition in practice; they will, I think, come along pretty quickly.

Well put.

And they'll be hungry to boot, after last years's journey.
