Ari who? Good to see us finally get an 09 verbal. Looks like xu95 was right again.

And I'm not ashamed to ask for rep points either.

The date for Charlotte is their Midnight Madness. I would be surprised if he moves it up.

Correct, Chris has already made an unofficial here, so he's seen the campus & facilities.

The main reason he scheded us so late was to get a chance to check us out at MM.

Q, there's no doubt in my mind. Which is why I followed with "eff the haters".

I think it was Prosser who said, You can't recruit nothing but milk drinkers." The most important issue isn't so much who you recruit (although that's important.) But the main issue is what happens to a kid once he gets to campus.

And I read on the Rivals board that the Braswell recruitment went VERY well. But he has other schools to visit so he wants to look at those before commiting. I can't argue with that reasoning.

Haven't been around much but have to weight in on this one. Woo Hoo!! Congratulations to all involved - coaching staff and Kevin. Welcome aboard Kevin!

Parrom becomes Xavier's first 2009 commitment
By Kevin Armstrong, SI.com

NEW YORK (SI.com) -- Last August, Xavier head coach Sean Miller hired Emanuel "Book" Richardson, a native of Queens and alumnus of traditional power St. Raymond's (Bronx, N.Y.), to his staff, not only for his coaching skills, but also for his contacts in the New York area.

On Saturday, Richardson's relationships continued to pay dividends. Citing Xavier's recent NCAA tournament success and a familiarity with the coaching staff, South Kent (Conn.) forward Kevin Parrom told SI.com that he committed to the Musketeers over St. John's while on an official visit to the Cincinnati campus Saturday.

"There was a level of comfort here that I really felt good about," said Parrom, a 6-foot-6, 200-pound workhorse who Rivals.com ranks as the No. 84 player in the class of 2009.

After playing for St. Raymond's (Bronx, N.Y.) last season, Parrom enrolled at South Kent over the summer, and recently started classes. "I'm settling in and taking care of things for college now," said Parrom.

Miller and his staff cannot comment on recruits until they sign National Letters of Intent, but talent evaluators project Parrom to play a jack-of-all-trades role in college while needing to improve his shooting.

The Musketeers have one scholarship remaining for this class.

Any idea if Xavier received Kevin Parrom's LOI today?

[kyxu]

I've heard he's going to sign with his teammates at school today, but Miller and staff are fully expecting his letter to arrive today.

Are there even religious sisters (nuns) teaching at the school he attends, now? Are there nuns still teaching anywhere on a wide scale?
And when will the well known and (dealt with and explained often and completely on this board) topic of his failing stop being even an allegedly humorous subject for discussion?:(

From todays Zagsblog

As for Lawrence’s teammate Kevin Parrom, who is headed to Xavier, Jefferson said he also went home to deal with his signing.

“Kevin has not signed but will sign tomorrow [Thursday] when he gets home with his dad,” Jefferson said.
