Looks like the New Mexico transfer Filip has committed to X!

We’re back baby!

Conwell to Louisville. Good for him

He's gonna be great for Kelsey next year tbh, also happy for him, think he'll thrive there.

Finally good news for us! Start of roster building baby!

Powell commits to UNC, wow. What an upgrade

[GoMuskies]

I mean, I guess. WV was better than UNC last year. Maybe it will finally be an upgrade when UNC decides to hire a coach.

I love some Chapel Hill, though.

I wonder what the locker room dynamic is nowadays.

Assume you have a team that accomplished quite a bit with a young roster that can return. Several guys want their “number”. There is only so much to go around. A couple guys get what they want and a couple guys leave to get what they want. But a couple other just accept a lower number to stay with the team. And then a couple new guys come in making as much or more as the 2 guys that got paid and absolutely more than the couple guys that stayed for a lower number.

6-7 guys fighting for 5 starting spots. Another 1-2 guys trying to get into the rotation.

A bunch of 20 year old kids, even trying the hardest, can’t avoid having that devolve in a toxic mess.

Would be very surprising if Traore went anywhere. He's has to be very involved in a rehab schedule, right? He can't be counted on for next year regardless of team. It's a bonus if he is able to help X.

Glad we got a guy but this is a little underwhelming. Kinda like the Foster commitment last years. We needed so much and he just didn’t address any of it. Turned out ok. But it seemed odd that our first move was to grab a depth piece.

This Borovicanin guy feels similar. Was a started last year but put up only 6/4/1 with really no blocks or steals. Shot 41% from the floor, including 31% from 3.

Maybe good at boxing out? Versatile on Defense? Not much shows up in the box score. I’d really be excited about an impact guard and a scoring big.

This guy could be a good bench piece.

He did go to Zona for 2 years, so obviously has something in his game to be noticed.

I mean I guess that could happen (as it does at times in normal jobs, or could in pro sports as well) but at least from all the Xavier guys you see each one retweeting liking and congratulating all their teammates when they enter the portal and when they sign on elsewhere.

Just seems like another worst case scenario people drum up about NIL that I have yet to see come to fruition, or certainly not much. Haven’t heard of any examples.

I mean he should be ready to go for X in plenty of time as long as surgery went well and rehab is progressing normally. Of course you always have to be worried about injuries, but I’d say his ACL injury is less concerning that the reoccurring foot injuries Free had. Get as much big man depth as we can but there’s no reason to think Traore can’t do next year what Miller brought him to do this past year.

[waggy]

there’s no reason to think

Yeah, no reason at all. Can't think of any.
