Kevin Parrom (Offer)

I must have missed where Miller called us "Little Old Xavier." Could someone help me out with the accuracy and/or context of that quote? Seems very odd...

I gotta believe there is someone out there in the JUCO ranks that could help X. There are a lot of good players that most of us don't even know.

He said it during his Arizona press conference. I don't remember the exact wording, but the context was in regards to going up against OSU, Indiana and UK for recruits and he said something about little old Xavier.

I know Shannon talked about it in her blog of the press conference and it was also talked about on the thread about the press conference on here, but to be honest I don't know where that thread is :)

I'm shocked! Shocked that gambling is going on in here! -- my best false stunned reaction a la Casablanca.

Az star also reports this:

While Parrom did not respond to messages left for him Sunday, his coach at South Kent (Conn.) School, Kelvin Jefferson, told the Star that Parrom has maintained his relationship with new UA coach Sean Miller.
"I haven't spoken to Coach Miller, but I know Kevin stayed in contact," Jefferson said. "Right now, Kevin is just open to any possibility. He wants to talk to people. He's interested in everything. He just wants an opportunity to look at other schools with the change at Xavier."

How could Miller keep talking to Parrom while he was committed to X? What are the rules on that? His release only became official on Monday.

Also reports that Miller is targeting Payne ...

I'd love to know what Miller is saying to these former Xavier recruits when comparing UA to X. I've got to think he's not being to complimentary of the A10 conference.

Payne won't leave the Midwest, probably not even Ohio, let alone go all the way across country to play college ball. He is really close with his grandmother who raised him and he isn't getting too far away from her. You can count on that.

If Kevin was the one who contacted Sean, then it's ok, but if Sean was the one who was calling Kevin, that's a no no. That's what I understand.

If Payne is willing to go to Dayton to be close to home, there's no way he's heading to Arizona.

If Xavier has truly become the elite program we say we have over the past few years, we will go out and have a stellar season next year, in which case recruiting won't miss a beat (other than this year, but we only had one signee.)

It's make or break time.

Good post, my thoughts exactly. Thats why I wanted Mack and this is what needs to happen.

Reps.
