Our #1 and #1b targets for 2009 are both visiting this coming weekend. I hope that at least one is a Musketeer by this time next Monday.

That would be a major relief to land one of these guys soon. I have no idea where X realistically stands with these two, but if we could get both, we could be looking at some very strong teams between 2010 and 2013 or so.
Ari Stewart can have his ugly colors and hot chicks. Kevin "The Punch" Parrom and Chris "Too Smart for DeMatha" Braswell are my guys!
I can see it going something like this....
King Kev, meet the Beast from the East......Beast...King Kev.
Now the two of you can play against each other, or.....strike an accord and demolish opponents together on your way to a final four. What say you?
IU has used up all 5 of their scholarships for next season, and have also signed two PF for the 2009 class. They are rumored to be signing one over, which is commonplace in the Big Ten. I doubt Braswell will even take his scheduled visit to IU. Hope we put ourselves in good position this weekend, and lock up Parrom.
Between Dustin Dow's comments on his Enquirer blog and xu95's comments on this messageboard, I feel cautiously optimistic that the Muskies will get at least one commitment following this weekend's visits. Both recruits appear to be a good fit for Xavier's 2009 needs, and both appear very interested in Xavier.
If someone commits this weekend it will be Parrom. Braswell will take one more visit to Charlotte, but he will probably pull the trigger very soon after that.

xu95, Braswell's Charlotte visit is not scheduled until mid-October. Do you think he might move that visit up a bit, or will Xavier have to sit and wait a month?
I want Parrom and Braswell this Sunday. Commit fellas.
IF Braswell doesn't end up at XU, then I'd root for Charlotte to get him. A-10 needs all the talent it can get.
I'd be stoked to get Parrom, Braswell or both. But if the best-case scenario happens and we do get both, be prepared for the haters to make a big deal about 1) Parrom punching his coach after being assaulted and 2) Braswell essentially being denied admission to Georgetown after committing (at least I think that's what happened).Quote:

KYXU,
Unless they live down to the problems they have had, I see no reason to give a damn. Others have come to Xavier with less than stellar reputations and done very well. I'm thinking of Lenny Brown and a slew of others who were said to be academic or character risks and did just fine.
Besides, I really believe Sean will run a tight enough ship that things will work out, no matter. I doubt Sister Rose Ann would allow too dangerous an academic risk to be offered. :D
