[QUOTE="IllFanInMi, post: 1430958"] Curiosity got me, so I looked at Xavier’s freshman class this year and it consists of 3, 3 stars (8th in BE) and only 1! (Kennedy) played vs us. They lost the majority of their team from last year and likely consider this a re-build year. Somehow they made us look a notch below. They now have the #2 2019 class in the BE and 17th nationally, quick talent reload! Oh and btw, Travis Steele was just named HC 8 months ago! Georgetown starts 2 of their 3rd ranked BE & 31st ranked class with the 3rd contributing heavily off the bench. Their 4th member of the class a 3* 6’8 kid dnp vs us. Big Pat so far struggling with 2019 class. We had a high number class, which on paper and adding in Adonis and Feliz is much stronger than Xavier’s and stronger than Big Pats. Now, Tevian, Kane, Higgs have made no impact this year (hoping Tev changes that). Our class is still getting major contributions from Ayo, GB, AF, and an 85% healthy AD. We all know where we sit for 2019! Is our problem the lack of talent/balance to go with the 4 new contributors? Is the fact the skill sets of the 3 non contributors Kane, Higgs, Tev. diminishing the impact of the contributors as GB being the only size + athleticism contributor. Did Spicey, Black, Funke leaving really catch BU off guard? Is this a true sign that spring signees are spring signees for a reason? [/QUOTE]
