Great news!!
Funny that both Rivals and 24/7 didn’t even have Xavier listed as a top contender for him.
The Know it Alls, like Broering, know nothing.

Among all the right and proper reasons, I'm enjoying the fact that we landed a 4-star recruit from .... Dayton, Ohio. The many crushed watermelons outside all the Kroger stores in Dayton right now will be a mess to clean up.

Over the last couple of months, Rick has said it was going to be a battle between X and MSU. He liked our chances because Dante(who is from the area) started recruiting him early.

Actually Broering has been all over this one on his site. He's been X's top target in the class for a while and Rick has been reporting us in his top 2 or 3 for months.

Just curious, when was last time we beat out MSU for a recruit? Trevon?

Really pumped to have this kid. Seems like Miller has a really good idea of the type of player he is looking for.

As a Xavier fan who migrated from Warren County to suburban Dayton in high school, I can assure you that recruiting misses like this barely register anymore with most UD fans. They’ve long grown accustomed to losing out on high profile local recruits.

Dull acceptance of abject failure. Even better.

These sites often have inaccurate information.
Yet, they are correct that Xavier is cool.
Welcome to the X family Mr. Powell!
Look forward to seeing you shine as Musketeer in ‘24.

Rick has nothing to do with that and he doesn’t even know who does. He also has zero input on player rankings. He just covers Xavier and had been reporting for months Xavier was in good with Powell.

#1 player in Ohio!
And, why not?
Xavier is clearly the #1 program in Ohio

Anybody curious about whom he spoke when he referred to the relationship between his uncle & Coach Miller ?

Probably want to take the L on this one, MOR. Rick has nothing to do with those lists and has been spot on with his Powell coverage for a while now.

His uncle is friends with Derrick Brown.

Yep. He made it pretty clear it was X Vs MSU for awhile now then earlier in the week all but said expect a commitment on his visit. He has missed plenty and info not always on point but this one he had for sure.
Love his shooting aspect, it almost feels like Miller has been back for 3 years already. Can’t believe it’s one year and the ship is right back on track.

No he makes a dumb, inaccurate statement as he’s prone to do and instead of just trying to distance himself from it he will continue to double down on dumb.

Ok. I will.
Yay! Rick got one right? Still not gonna pay money to read his 95% speculation, 5% insider. But hope he makes a decent living
Very glad we got Powell.

He doesn’t guess and he is not a biased fan. He was on Powell for over a year and he was on all the guys Xavier got last year. He may not get as much from the staff as he did when Steele was coaching but he knows what is happening. Sean seems to like to keep things quiet it seems. He doesn’t sugar coat anything either which is nice

Hilarious!!! Like I said he will continue to double down on dumb. How could anybody have inside information that MOR wasn’t aware of………inconceivable. At least in his eyes. What a tool.
It’s right about here one could post:
WELCOME to our (dysfunctional) family!
Every family has a little bit of that, right? Well, here is ours. :-)

I have an X psych degree. My profs used to say the only dysfunctional family is the functional one. :)
We met a lady who had a tattoo on the back of her neck that said “I put the FUN in dysfunctional”. People asked her if they could take pics. She was a very agreeable sort!

Was she a giraffe? That's a lot of words to have on a neck. Unless they were very small, but then you'd have to be really close to read them. Or maybe they weren't all on her neck and extended lower below her clothing. Either way, I think you need to provide some more information, unless you want to be like MOR and say, "I can't say how I know what her tattoo says........."
You also said "we met a lady," so that hints of an interesting story as to what she was agreeable to.

That is one large lady or one large neck.
It was more like:
… I Put The
.. .. FUN
In Dysfunctional!
Our kids were in rehab together, so it’s not like I was hitting on her in a bar. I mean, until later. It makes you curious, doesn’t it? :-)
EDIT: The dentist from Dayton was bold enough to ask her for a photo of it. Looking back, I think he might have been right.
