    james posey is a better comparison. runs the floor, athletic and can shoot the three. saw many great no look passes out of him as well. probably most excited recruit that i'm looking forward to see since sato.

    I'm sure I'm showing my age but I could swear Tyrone Hill would say that when the MCC tournament kicked off.

    Probably never happen but could you imagine the 1-3-1 or 1-1-3, which some call it, with JP, Sumner, Makinde, Jalen and Farr in at the same time? That would be a Tough group to shoot over.

Big time prospect.
    With London and Sumner we beat St. John's twice. The match-up versatility we will have the next few years should be great!
    Go Musketeers! Go Bombers!

    If London is really playing like coach needs him to, I don't think this is so far fetched. Why the doubt that it would happen?

    Yeah, I could definitely see that lineup at some point. It probably won't be the most common lineup put out there, but it could get some run.

    Previously I've observed that Xavier gets players just as talented as anyone...except an inch or two or three shorter -- e..g, if Tu Holloway is 6'2", he's in the NBA. With Sumner and London, as, noted, Xavier gets a whole lot taller and longer.
