Regardless of the reasons, who are some players that you wouldn't have minded playing at Xavier had Xavier had a crystal ball.

Man, if Wally had been at XU I think the program would have advanced even faster. Kind of hard to believe how stagnant Miami got with Coach Coles after such attention whatever year that was in the late 90s.

But I guess if we're going for Mac standouts…Ron Harper would have been a great star. Not sure he would have selected XU over Miami at the time, but who knows?

Ron Harper - remember watching him play and it was like a man against boys

Gary Trent
Jameer Nelson
Kevin Anderson
Cuttino Mobley

Just a few guys we faced over the years that sprung to mind.

Not diminishing Wally but Damon Frierson helped those Miami teams plenty; IIRC he was Indiana Mr B.

Wasn't Ron Harper supposed to go to UD but had some academic or some other issues?

Ron Harper has a speech impediment and Miami had an outstanding speech pathology program that provided him with the assistance he needed to excel in school. Dude was straight up amazing as a college basketball scorer

Not sure Hankins would be in my top 500, given the question

I want to know why we can't ever get one of these great players with the first name of Xavier to come here? There always seems to be a few Xaviers out there who are really good college players, yet X never gets them. You'd think we'd have some sort of edge there.....

Thats because they always pronounce it wrong. Like Eggs.

Scotty Pipen from Central Arkansas. Wow! And Ja Morant is another excellent example
