Predictions for 2014 recruits

[Xfan5667]

Post some of your thoughts on what you think about the recruits coming in 2014 and how you think they will help get xavier back into the elite 8!

[muskiefan82]

Elite 8? Such limited thinking. As for predictions.....

PAIN.

For all opponents.

[GIMMFD]

Scary.

That's my prediction, we have some big boy talent, and that is scary to think about.

[Masterofreality]

Guys are scoring over 40 and 50 in a game.

I think that they might be decent.

[UCGRAD4X]

Forecast: AWESOME!

[XUOHTX]

They will graduate.

Spike Cooley XU'19 is going to see his Marian Central Catholic Hurricanes battle Sean O'Mara's Benet Academy squad at a nearby holiday tourney.

I will ask Spike for instant reactions and post a report.

I forsee many "W"s in our future...

I predict some heartburn trying to find spots for all the new guys. Not trying to turn the thread sideways, but we have 2 guys for sure leaving and have to find room for 3 more?

Between Martin and Semaj, one would have to assume that both wont be back...that opens up 1. Not sure about Richards......so that makes 2 spots.......maybe.

I don't believe Semaj is ready for the NBA. Of course, I'm not an NBA scout and that statements means jacks**t, but he's not ready...I know that has nothing to do with if he'll be drafted. I wouldnt be surprised if he's back next year...and I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone.

Why would JMart be gone?

I think we have an open scholarship this year that we (may have) given to Landon Amos or something. My understanding was that we were over by 1 next year, assuming Semaj leaves. I could be wrong about that though.

Martin will be a Senior and eligible to play immediately if he transfers, so he could leave.

Kamall Richards seems like a likely candidate to transfer out. He has started out in the doghouse for lack of effort in practice and he is going to have Blueitt and Abell coming in next year who are both wings that project to be far better than him. I think he transfers.

If Semaj comes back we will have to find another scholarship somewhere.

[Milhouse]

Because he's a 5th year senior and can go else where. And there are THREE guys coming in next year that play his position.

My prediction is Sumner and London are going to be a lot better than most think. Both are very overshadowed by Marcura and Blueitt right now.

London spent all last year going against Joel Embiid in practice. That kid is absolutely just killing it at Kansas and is a darkhorse for #1 overall.

Sumner is putting up good numbers and in the running for Mr. Basketball Michigan.
