Fair point about Lyons - I would imagine that he would at the very least declare for the NBA draft and see where his draft stock lies (like Tu did last season).

Yes, Lyons is playing the 2 guard, but in the NBA, if he makes it, I see him playing the point. The only reason he is not playing the point here is named Tu Holloway. I think Lyons could make an excellent point guard.

Concerning Kyle Lowry, if I'm not mistaken, and I don't think I am, Xavier recruited him in high school, but wound up signing another PG. I just can't remember who that was. Anyone recall?

Torian Graham is interesting. Didn't he commit to NC State earlier? I know X was in the hunt for him early on, but didn't realize we were still recruiting him. Wow! Wouldn't that be a great recruit class, adding him to those already signed!?

Go Chris Mack!
&
GO MUSKIES!

Re: Lowry - went to Villanova

Torian Graham is still very much in the mix with Xavier. X is in his top 3. A lot will have to do with academics, but X has a dedicated assistant on him. Don't worry!

As to Lowry, the desert raccoon recommended to Beaknose that XU sign Lowry. John Groce recommended Churchill Odia.

Pinocchio wound up going with Odia. Then ol Beaky left and stuck Circle Eyes with a crappy point guard. Another reason I don't like the proboscis.

On the ESPN basketball page there is a link to Chris Mack's next class of X-men.

It's an Insider article so I can't read it, but the teaser sounds like it is complimentary of his efforts.

Here is what is says:

Technically, the Atlantic 10 is a mid-major conference, but don’t tell that to Xavier. Coach Chris Mack is just the latest in a long line of head coaches to recruit at the high-major level. However, the Musketeers have more competition than ever before from their conference brethren when it comes to recruiting against the big boys.

Here’s a look at the Atlantic 10’s top classes to date:

The Musketeers' class has been getting a lot of ink in recent weeks, and rightfully so, but here’s the cliff notes version of what you need to know. The four-man class can all be found in New England prep schools right now; few people realized just how good Semaj Christon (Cincinnati, Ohio/Brewster Academy) was when he first committed in July, but suffice it to say there might not be more than five better point guards in his class. Myles Davis (Jersey City, N.J./Notre Dame Prep) is one of the best pure shooters in the Northeast. James Farr (Evanston, Ill./Maine Central) is a 6-foot-9 skilled southpaw and Jalen Reynolds (Livonia, Mich./Brewster) may have the highest ceiling of any player in the class. To sum up, Chris Mack has a top 20 class nationally and the best in the Atlantic 10 again this year
