Sean Miller Recruiting

[xuphan]

I have to say, I am a bit surprised we have not yet landed a commitment in the class of 2023. I expected Miller and his assistants to help draw top talent to the Cintas but that has yet to happen. Just surprised we haven’t landed anyone yet. However, we seem to be in the hunt for several top 100 guys in the class of 2023 and hopefully we will hear good news soon. What recruits do you hope we land in the class of 2023?

It's a marathon, not a sprint. He will land his guys and things will work out.

He may be close to a commitment from 4 star wing Reid Ducharme.

The coaches I bet are working hard and strengthening relationships.
I read X assistants are in TX where X has really never poached. Miller and Cohen (assistants) have a ton of energy and have teritories to cover.
Sean Miller was not recruiting at all last season so that puts X a tad behind everyone else.

X recruits are saying they like Miller and fully know he has his players playing in the NBA. I believe that is his best card to play for top 75 talent. .
BE is attractive too but many factors are in play.

I would love it if X can land DeShawn Harris-Smith, Taison Chatman, Jamari McDowell, Reid Ducharme, Brandon Rechsteiner, and Curtis Williams Jr. It would be a stretch to land any of these but you have to try.

They are involved with some guys, but they got a late start on the 2023 class. Still in good with a couple of top 50 guys and a few others that will end up very highly ranked. They will be fine.

Yeah, well, then we didn’t want him much anyway…….

I read somewhere Claude has a high Basketball IQ. Another intelligent player can help X limit silly disturbances on teh court. Thank goodness for Steele recruiting !

Not really recruiting, but another interview with Sean

Interesting he brought up our issues in February over last couple of years.

Thanks for, you know, posting this. That interviewer, you know, really needs to figure out how to not, you know, say you know so often, you know.

I, you know, don't , you know, know, you know, what, you know, you, you know, are, you know, talking about.

My wife does a lot of public speaking and went to Toastmasters decades ago. They will beat those bad habits out of you! People are assigned to count how many times you say umm, or uhh, you know? Point it out to you often enough, and you learn. Once you notice it, it becomes painful.

Thanks! From Cincinnati and liking the family vibe is promising. Noting how Miller has developed guys and gets guys into the NBA is also promising. I love that he wants to play against the best on a regular basis. That says a lot about this young man. He is serious about working and being challenged. Have to love that about a prospect.

Guy must have watched my presentation in high school you know. Think, you know, I hit the 8 mark when class started to count. That one was hard tape to watch with the whole class. Did stop saying you know, you know. Actually I did have one back to back even. Lol

I do give him a slight break because he is interviewing a legend…you know this tho.

I was bigger on the "Um", you know. Once you, um, figure out that some moments of silence are okay, you're golden, you know.

Thanks for sharing noteggs!

Sean did a really nice job in the interview of laying out the meaningfulness of Xavier’s evolution.

It’s kind of crazy that X went from a very small “I think I can” school with a tiny campus and a dangerously gritty little basketball team to now clearly having a program and university that are both nationally recognized and respected and even often discussed positively by the media and others on the outside in the same breath as other nationally respected universities that have very good basketball programs.

It’s a great feeling to know the school you attended over 30 years ago just keeps growing more and more impressive. Having Sean back, just makes the story that much better. I am sooooo looking forward to this coming season!!!
Let’s Go X! Let’s keep getting bigger and better.

GREAT find Eggs!!
The most pertinent thing to me in this interview is Sean talking about the Toughness of the Big East teams and how they played. He knows that in spades.
And that was the thing that the former coach’s teams did not have- as evidenced by their failures in the League. They played more like Tin Men as opposed to Men of Steel(e). Early season vs out of league competition, one thing. Polar opposite when it came to league play.
Sean will get this right.
