The Xavier Way extends far beyond just winning basketball games and championships, IMHO. It's much more than just teaching kids the right way to play the game or how to excel on the court. Xavier is a special place for all the athletes and all the students. James Farr, Jason Love, Matt Stainbrook, etc. are more visible examples of what happens everyday on the Xavier campus.....the journey from child to adult. I for one will miss watching one James Farr wear the Xavier uniform, but I can tell you that I believe with my whole heart that he, and all the others, will continue to make be proud to be a Xavier grad and supporter, long after their playing careers are over.
I so freakin agree with this.
