Scout.com has an article headlined saying that Xavier has released Parrom from his National Letter of Intent. I have not seen this anywhere else... anybody else know if there is any truth to it. I find it hard to believe that happening with Mack still there talking to him.
here's the link

DCX, why would Kevin Parrom even look at Connecticut?? Did anybody read the statements of Calhoun right before and after his team got knocked out of the tournament? I think what's being discussed is Kevin wanted to play for Sean Miller and now that Sean is no longer the Xavier coach he's having doubts.Quote:

That word was asked of him and he did not say "No." Also, the man has successfully battled cancer three times and really looks awful. I don't wish him ill, but as a cancer survivor myself, I don't make a whole lot of long-term plans other than enjoying retirement. I doubt too many of Arizona's games are telecast to the east coast, but I know damn near every Xavier game is because the A10 has several teams, 3 Philadelphia, 1 New York City, one Amherst, Mass. one Kingston R.I. and one Olean NY. I don't know Fox's range, but I'd be willing to bet even Richmond and GW are beamed into that area or New York he's from. Kevin;s family might see him play one or two times in the four years he'd be at UofA where they could watch him in person when X plays at least three more games in Fordham's lil band box. My Lord, they could even go to the tournament in Atlantic City.
:D
I hope this is not a creditable scout reporter, but I tend to think worst case scenario.Quote:

He at least still has X as a possibility.
May as well not be. If Parrom asked for his release, I really doubt he's coming to Xavier.Quote:

I would take all this early information to indicate he is gone. Out of friendship or understanding with Mack he is still considering X a 'possibility'. Reality is he is most likely headed to the Big East. Solomon Hill who just committed to Arizona and plays the same spot so I am not sure King Kev will want to go there. However there is plenty of PT to be had in Tuscon.
I think Xavier will be just fine and we could see a late signee or IMO most likely a player that is a transfer to be ready for the 2010-2011 season. With Crawford, Lyons, and Walsh we have a built in three player class for next season already. IF everybody stays for next season we only have two scholarships available.
Not according to Scout. He's shown as having "no interest" in Xavier at this time. I really hope we can land a forward for next season. The depth would help plus we're gong to need some experience on the front line in 2010. If we're as good as advertised next year, Mack will have an "easy sell" I would think for recruiting given the fact that (1) the Muskies will have had success under their new coach, and (2) there WILL be plenty of playing time available for frontcourt players in 2010 and beyond.Quote:

The announcers suck and the time difference will blow, but Arizona will be on TV.Quote:

Looks like its official now.
