Kevin Parrom (Offer)

**wkrq59** · 04-23-2009, 12:36 AM

You're both acceptable! Kevin Parrom would be a fantastic recruit for Chris to sign. But if he choses elsewhere after the coaching change, ok. Bon Voyage.
The one thing that Xavier has to offer over the other schools he may be considering is the same thing Xavier has consistently offered for eons--an opportunity to receive an outstanding education while playing basketball at a top level of NCAA competition.
There's also the matter of small campus with urban and suburban combination, smaller classes and a support system under Sister Rose Ann Fleming second to none. There is absolutely nothing mid-major about the good sister or the program she founded and has maintained. Skip didn't call her Xavier's MVP for nothing.
The other intangible that ain't so intangible that Xavier offers is a chance to be part of the Xavier Nation. Ask Stanley Burrell, David West, Josh Duncan, James Posey, Derek Strong, Tyrone Hill, Byron Larkin, Muskieman, MOR, any member of the LHS, Dr. Jimmy Boothe, any alum who posts on this board or MM....Just remember friends, whether Kevin Parrom changes his mind or not, WE ARE STILL XAVIER. And we always will be.
Go get 'em Chris Mack.:D:D

It's a long article

As the spring open contact recruiting period neared a close, new Arizona coach Sean Miller and assistant Emanuel "Book" Richardson made a point of stopping by to see Bronx wing Kevin Parrom on Tuesday.
It went very well, according to Parrom's coach at South Kent (Conn.) School, Kelvin Jefferson.
"He really likes Arizona and the coaching staff," Jefferson said.

I think that goes without saying.

Someone mentioned it on another thread or board, but neither Parrom, Weatherspoon nor Latham hold an offer from Arizona. Plus, I can't picture Parrom following Miller all the way out to AZ. I think if Parrom doesn't choose Xavier, he'll stick with the East Coast.

I don't care what anyone says, that is not cool for Sean to do that.

Didn't Skip talk to the committed recruits when he left and ask them to keep their committment to Xavier?

As we are quickly finding out, $ean is certainly no Skip. I don't know if Skip did just that but can anyone doubt it?

I'm 95% sure Skip told all the players to stay and the recruits to keep their commitments. I recall something like him telling the players that Xavier was a great place for them and that his leaving had no reflection on X, just his time to move on. Definitely didn't try to take guys with him.

Of course, I we find out more and more, there are very few Skip Prossers out there in this cutthroat business. There's a reason that guy gained the level of respect and admiration, from players and fans and fellow coaches, that he did. It's been said before, but it's worth repeating: The world is a better place for having Skip Prosser.

How does that work exactly? They were out in the east coast?

Hey Book, isn't Brooklyn around here somewhere?

Yeah Sean it sure is.

Hey, why don't we stop by Brooklyn and see Kevin Parrom?

Sure Boss, but he might not be there.

Why's that Book?

Because Kevin is in the Bronx.

Oh, right, silly me, that's why I hired you. Let's go anyway, just swing by. make sure he knows we aren't at Little Old Xavier.
