Kevin Parrom (Offer)

[The Artist]

I guess I can agree with that. I don't think that he would have gone to Alabama for the money, but I still dont' see what makes AZ a better gig than IU if they are offering the same money.

Of course we are assuming that Sean was a shoe-in for the IU job, and that may or may not have been the case. If IU had come after Sean as hard as AZ did he may be the coach there right now.

I would definitely rather have him at AZ than right in our back yard like Matta.

Excellent point. I am glad that I can choose how much I get to hear about Miller, unlike Matta.

[DC Muskie]

Well, good luck Kevin!

[ballyhoohoo]

As great as it would be to have him in the fold, I hope he makes the best decision for him. In the end he needs to do right by himself and his family, not a fanbase, school, or coach

Xavier does a great job of developing both players and people. Hopefully he will realize that it is a good place for him to be.

[DC Muskie]

Hey, it's his loss if he comes to the conclusion that Xavier isn't the right fit for him. But I do wish him luck.

Conceited much?

That's just a rediculous statement.

Conceited much?

That's just a rediculous statement.

Tell me what's wrong with this statement? Tell me what has changed at Xavier? Two guys left. I understand those two guys are important to Kevin, but Xavier is more then just too guys.

So yeah, the kid will be fine, but it's his loss, not ours. I'm not being mean, that's just the way it is. If he comes here, fantasitc, if he doesn't, do you think Xavier goes down the tube?

I'm not bashing the kid...just saying it's his loss. Xavier is a great place to play and go to school and he had a chance and still does mind you to come here.

I'm not sure why you think it's ridiculous. Should I be devastated if he doesn't come here? Plenty of guys don't. Think Duke Crews would have been better off coming here? He's finishing his career in nowhere Maryland right now.

It might come off as arrogant, but I think DC is right. As we all know, X is a complete program that provides players all the tools on and off the court, and is going to play in the NCAA, and offers some early playing time at his position on a good team. All games on TV, great schedule, etc. I don't know what kind of other options he has, but X has got to be one of this better if not best options.

[Xman95]

I understand what DC is saying. Xavier is a great place and, in our eyes, anyone that gets to go there is lucky to have had that experience.

But I also understand what Kahn's is saying. Just because we love X and it was the right place for us, doesn't mean it's the perfect place for someone else. There are many options out there and, after thinking things over, he might feel that another option is better. So be it. What if he comes to Xavier and it's not a great experience for him? Will it be his loss for not going somewhere else?

Look, deep down I think DC knows Xavier isn't for everyone and, if Parrom goes to a place that's great for him, not going to X really isn't his loss. It's nobody's loss. And Kahn's knows what a great place Xavier is or he wouldn't be a fan. He also realizes that, for many, they are better for having walked the halls of X and if they didn't get that chance it really would have been there loss.

It really seems like an argument just to argue.

[DC Muskie]

I have a bias, I am a fan. I'm not going to apologize because Xavier is killing it.
