The Ryan Conwell investment.

[Xuperman]

It's one thing to point out Conwell hasn't always been up to snuff in big games and/or gets in early foul trouble - that's legitimate.

It's just not legitimate to insinuate that something's going on with him without proof because you have a small internet penis and you think that saying so will increase your cred on this board and/or with your drinking buddies.

But the good news is that internet impotence can be cured. Operators are standing by somewhere in the world.

If you think I was trying to increase my "cred" here you've got something loose upstairs. I knew I was going to get hammered when I started the thread.

BTW, my entire premise was that I suspected something, other than a shooting slump, could have been at play. A "suspicion", by definition, is VOID OF FACT.

For the record, I have NO inside sources related to the Xavier bball program or it's players. Unlike many here that give the perception that they do.

Moving on.

There was no need for you to say this. Based on your posts, everyone here knows that.

Yet, you and Hett continually just come up with bs without any real knowledge of the basketball team. For what?

Both you and Hett at the start of this thread said "It's not a slump." Doesn't sound like "a suspicion" to me, sounds like you were pretty convinced without any knowledge of anything. Not shocking, considering the crap you two make up on a consistent basis.

There are several posters here that actually do have ties to the program...maybe listen every once in a while.

I just can't get over the fact that with all that's been going wrong with Xavier basketball, someone actually pointed the finger at Conwell???

He's like second last in line. It was and still is just an odd take.

You should re-read my comment. And then consider editing yours so it’s accurate.

He’s facing a lot different levels of talent in the Big East than he would have faced in ISUs conference. And they had a couple other offensive stars to allow him to NOT be the focus of the defense.

I don’t think it’s a slump. I think this is how successful he’s gonna be at this level. Unfortunately

Did you not say you don't think it's a slump? What am I missing that he needs to edit? In fact, if I'm reading this right, you think he's not good enough to play against Big East competition which is worse than just being in a slump.

Oh “ I don’t think it’s a slump” is what then? Stop gaslighting

Conwell shooting 40% from 3. Averaging 16 a game. This post provided me some comedic relief .

Hett did you just bank on no one checking what you said after that? Lol it’s verbatim. That’s classic trolling.

I didn’t allude to anything. I didn’t suggest that there was some sinister forces at play. I didn’t speculate that there was “something going on”.

I actually PROVIDED an explanation for why he had several lackluster games in a row.

You guys are hung up on this idea of making something out of nothing. But I didn’t provide “nothing”. I provided an ACTUAL root cause that may explain ( in whole or in part) some of Conwells struggles.

And I didn’t make this shit up. Jason Carter jumped from the MAC to the Big East…..and floundered. Ben Stanley led the country in shot attempts at Hampton….and couldn’t crack the rotation at X.

It goes the other way too. Sasa Ciani got destroyed in the Big East last year and is now averaging nearly a double double in 20 minutes per game….in the same league that Conwell came from.

The reality is there IS a difference in the competition level between the conferences. And further reality is that many players struggle (or flourish depending on if they moved down) when facing different competition. That was my position.

Lumping that reasonable take into some tin foil hat NIL conspiracy is just wrong.
