So if that report was about how Parrom recommited to X, would he still not have fit into the "Xavier thing?"

Come on people, no need to act like we didn't want King Kev as a Muskie. Read the same types of things about Gates after he chose UC, would anyone really not take Yancy on our roster right now?

I agree with the rest of your post. Hopefully, we can land Chaney, the UF transfer.

Unless it is a quality kid/player i'm more than okay with not using a scholarhip for this season. Or give it to one of the walk-ons with the full understanding he'll only have it for one year.

Sean Miller's legacy continues its slide down the crapper for this kid....

that "little old Xaver" comment continues to infuriate me.

Whatever. Mack just saved himself a black eye. Punk ass thug.a He's not a "Xavier guy" anyway. He was only trying to use us. I never even thought he was a good player. He would have been if he came to X because we would have MADE him one but he never would be a good player on his own. Anyone we replace him with will be better. I'm ecstatic that he isn't coming.

Oh, and Sean Miller is the antichrist.

I was one of those who criticized Gates (not for choosing UC, but for being a punk) and no, I would not take him right now or ever.

Juice, agree with you. The comments of some sound like sour grapes to me. I, too, would not take Yates if he came on bended knee. One of the reasons UC tanked at the end of the season was his inconsistent play and apparent bad chemistry with some of his teammates. Besides, Kenny Frease would kill him in their first intra-squad scrimmage. :D:D

The scrimmage would turn into a headbutt-a-thon

He still gets to play for the coach he wants to play for, in a better conference, and with more exposure. In what world does that equal a loss for him???

Uhhh, that's a Xavier fan that thinks it's Parrom's loss for not coming to Xavier.

You see, as Xavier fans and alums, a few of us think that Xavier is a better place to play and go to school than Arizona. And I bet you think that Arizona is a better place to play and go to school than Xavier.

Make sense now?

You could make a case that XU gets just as much national exposure as Arizona does. Believe it or not, everyone outside of the West is not up at 11 pm to watch Arizona v.s. Oregon on ESPN.

Better conference and more exposure are moot points in terms of going to the NBA, if you are good enough, you will be found.

You could, but you would lose that argument. I mean, Xavier is a much better and classier operation than Arizona, but 'Zona moves the dial. One of their worst seasons over the last two decades saw them get as much or more press than both of the last two X seasons, the best consecutive years in X history.
