It got busted when UC fell off. Xavier still always participated in games and has benefited locally from playing in games. Showing up 2-3 week shouldn't interfere with their schedule at all. You can build better team chemistry playing amongst and against some off the better competition in area. We need all the fans we can get right now this is the perfect event to get your buzz back from 90's.

You build a fanbase by winning consistently and making deep runs into March, not by participating in a summer league. I bet a lot of students and people who go to real games don't even know what the summer league is. How exactly has Xavier benefited locally from playing? |

The league is mostly local has beens outside of the UC and X players. There is zero local talent to carry the league outside of those two rosters spread out amongst the league. UC gets better run against each other in open gym instead of playing with the Paul McMillian's of the world. Fact... |

There is overlap, but NCAA rules prevent the teams from working together while down there...

Article in the Enquirer about UC and the summer league.
http://www.cincinnati.com/story/blog...ague/10900587/ I freaking love Cronin and his comments. He says it's up to the players but.... ""We have a lot of former players," Cronin said. "We've built a really good family of guys that are still playing. Dion Dixon is in town. Cashmere Wright, Yancy Gates, JaQuon Parker, just to name a few. The best basketball our guys are going to play is in our gym. They play to win. There's defense. They play hard. With that being said, they're more than welcome to play in the summer league. It's up to them."" So he basically saying the summer league isn't worth his players time, and it would be more beneficial to play with our own guys, current and alum. I have no issues with this at all. |

Another weekend thru deveroes no johnson or morman haven't seen them listed on the roster either I know chad said those two were maybes but I don't expect them to suit up, as long as they got intense open gyms that's fine. I heard from a buddy today that a xavier player, remy abell, had to be carried off due to an injury...which I think solidifies the fact that no uc guys will play this summer
