That post scared the shit out of me as it looked like one of those "goodbye" messages. Fuck.

But then, fuck yeah!

Woo Hoo. In Miller we Trust.

After hiring Sean, this second best news!!!

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Welcome news. He means so much to this team.

I'm interested in how others in this board think Jones re-commitment might affect Free, Nunge, etc. And same for Ward.

Man am I stoked that Colby is coming back. He is going to kill it under Sean Miller's coaching.

I think he's talked to those guys and has an inkling what they are thinking. He's just the first one to make it official. Hopefully more good news on the way.

Jack? Yeah he is coming back. Starting to think Zach is as well. I see maybe two more transfer out and will get three from portal or maybe two and an international player.

I have to think if we get thru today without any other shoes dropping, I believe the rest are all coming back. It seems to me that if you're thinking about leaving, it's getting a little late in the game. Just my optimistic thought...

Fantastic news!

I believe his commitment will serve as glue for some of the other guys.

RIGHT! Total Rollercoaster of emotions

This. If we get a couple more pieces of good news we can start talking about real expectations versus a roster rebuild.

Not sure I agree. Think that It’s a huge decision and could take more than a few days to make a choice. I think we will see people declaring there plans to transfer for at least another week.
Though tend to agree that the later we go without hearing, the better. Just believe it’s too early to say today or tomorrow we should know one way or another.

[Xville]

Awesome news! With him back in the fold, I think that may create a domino effect for others in the regular rotation to stay.. may see some that haven’t played much to transfer out and who knows maybe free. Great news!

Even after reading the title the beginning of that scared me! I’m thrilled to see what he can do in a Xavier uniform with top notch coaching and development! Very exciting times to be a part of the Xavier family!

Agreed. This is a big decision for these young men, and the goal post has been moving a lot. They barely got finished playing and had time to decompress from the season. They should work through this carefully and not make a rash decision.

They have their education to consider as an additional part of the equation as well, not to mention still taking classes and making up the time away.

First: Colby is a HUGE piece to hold onto. So happy he is returning

Second: I have a feeling Sean made it clear to at least a handful of players that there is playing time for them. I feel confident Jack is back and Kunkel too. I am crossing my fingers Free is as well. No clue about the rest.

I think Sean is working he’s on keeping Ward too. I feel Colby reached out to him and we will see him recommit soon.

I also have a gut feeling Sean has a really good PG or combo guard who is ready to commit to X.

X needs to pull in one more Physical big too. I believe Sean recognizes this need and is able to pull in a good one.

He said bring a championship to Victory Parkway. Well what kind? Does he mean a Big East, a NCAA, another NIT, or an Advocare Orlando Invitational? Big differences.

Well, we’ve got the NIT covered, so let’s go get the rest!

But let’s NOT do the NIT thing again…..
