I’ve stopped caring.

Hate to say it, but I'm questioning if I want to continue to put my heart and soul into this.

It's been such a great ride since I was 5 years old. Part of our lives - it's sad honestly. We're losing the grip to our program and slipping off the cliff.

Swain has removed Xavier from his instagram.

Just be careful about pulling back. Once a significant portion of the fanbase does that, it's really tough to come back from. I've seen the transition from loud, sold out crowds to half full snoozefests here in Wichita. It happened fast, and there doesn't seem to be much of a path back to relevance for them. And they have the name of one of the richest people in the world on their arena.

It now has a CAA agency email (same agency that represents Sean). Looks like he will enter the portal and head to Texas.

So the reality here is, we will probably need 13 new guys.

I could maybe see Hugley/Traore/Fletcher/Anderson stay, but Conwell/Swain/Freshmen they will be gone. The good news is that you get a decent coach and some decent NIL we will remain well....decent. Miss on one or both and we become Butler.

This sucks, but it's our reality. I read some rumors that GC is interested in Mack and vice versa.

The positive about Mack is that 2-3 guys from Charleston could compete in the big East. Brzovic would be a nice get. He’d not dominate like he has at the caa level but he’d be a good starting point for the frontcourt

I totally agree with this. It's very important that the fanbase keep the faith in spite of the obvious challenges. The challenges that X faces are the same that the majority of the programs in the country face, including many in the ACC, B12 and PAC/MWC.
