Wells has been kicked off the team and expelled from Xavier. More details to follow. Should be a really fun season for them with 5 new starters.....

Mark Lyons. Dez Wells. Tu Holloway. Quite a proud tradition Xavier basketball is building.

Best returning player is now Travis Taylor... wow!

They have now lost 78% of their scoring and 63% of their rebounding from last year.

Do they have any shot at being .500 now? He was really they're only player returning with any ability. Our game with them should be an absolute slaughter. Can you imagine if that game was at the shoe?

Funny, another thread about Xavier but this time there is no Xavier fan to be found. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

When we beat the crap out of them, it will still be a huge drag on our rpi. No way they win 10 games this year let alone .500

X will still finish above .500... though I don't expect them to make the tourney, or win the A-10.

2 of their 4 prep school recruits will probably fail to qualify.

Guys I hate X but I don't find pleasure in this. Word is it's of sexual nature and no charges have been filed. There is a victim here and a young man that needs some serious help. They failed to see the warning signs and recruited poor character guys and they are paying the price.

That's the part that's enjoyable, Jeff. Nobody here is taking pleasure that a girl got sexually assaulted. I hope she is able to recover fully and I hope Dez can land on his feet somewhere eventually.

Xavier took a couple chances years back with Anderson, Crawford, Lavender, etc. They won some games, made some tournament runs, and continued to recruit the same kids. People on the forums have been waiting for this moment to happen, along with the comments from the brawl. It's all karma.

When seemingly every kid on your roster is from prep school or via transfer, you will have problems. Not saying every kid who goes to prep school or transfers is a trouble, but there is usually a reason they prep or transfer, whether it's attitude, academics, off court trouble, or just because. We've had some guys prep and they aren't bad kids by any means.

But how many times in the past couple years have they gotten a commitment and the first thought is "Good luck getting him eligible." Justin Martin, Michael Chandler, Sim Bhullar, and now Chris Thomas come to mind easily.

I'm glad we have Mick and don't have to put up with that BS regularly.
