Re: Sweet 16 Xavier discussion thread

That is my understanding of it also, one year at Western Michigan, sat out then played two years for Xavier and there is definite interest in Arizona, but I will double check on that, this is what I saw on another board, there was a big discussion about him, I will have to try and confirm.

Re: Sweet 16 Xavier discussion thread

Keep a close eye on Matt Stainbrook for Xavier, he is graduating and has one year left to play. Word is his people have reached out and suggested he may look at Arizona as a possibility. Very good player. That would really send their fan base over the cliff. Yes, it was possibly more of a possibili...

TJ is fun to watch. He has really stepped up.

If he keeps playing at this level with that type of ...

Good for Nick. For an undersized shooting guard with an inconsistent jump shot, at least he gets his opportunity.
