This is an excellent read if you are a Xavier fan unlike some of those yayhoos who left negative reactions at the end. Muskieman Ed posted this on the MM board.

Good read. Love that kid. We're gonna miss his competitiveness next season.

You love him if he wears the X uniform. Love his effort but he does me shake my head more than any other XU player. You take the good and the bad with JP.

[Lamont Sanford]

Would love to sit down and have a beer with the kid after he graduates. He's prolly got some great stories.

"a wise-cracking elbow throwing bundle of energy".....I don't recall him ever throwing an elbow. Am I wrong?

Fixed that for you.


Great article.

Ya, I didn't get that line either. I can't recall JP ever getting a tech for a physical act. He's gotten several for talking, but I've never understood the whole "dirty player" label people tag on him. He goes right up to the line on the psychological bs, but he's never intentionally elbowed, kicked, tripped, or hit anyone. He plays clean.

If you could assemble a "fantasy" type of team for XU, I'd start with DWest and Tu. Probably Sato at SG. That's 3 scorers. I'd have look at filling the remaining slots with Defense / rebounding type guys and I'd probably go with Jason Love and JP. Slight edge to him over Cage...

Isn't JP considered to be a turnstile in man to man defenses?

Isn't JP considered to be a turnstile in man to man defenses?Yup. Good team defender, but you pray he doesn't get isolated while defending a guy that can put the ball on the deck.

92% Good. 8% Bad.

I definitely think Eisenberg needs to be called out on this. Macura is likely to get a bad rep from this kind of comment. If it is deserved, and much of it is, but not as a dirty or violent player. I demand a retraction!

Well, there is that Larkin guy to consider.

He’s a physical player. That’s why he’s referred to as dirty by opposing fanbases.

Cage over anyone on this team for defense.
