September 18, 201214 yr With Myles Davis and Jaylen Reynolds ruled non-qualifiers for the season, is it time to really question Chris Mack and how he is handling the program. Here is a look at their recruiting over the last 5 years, and who actually made an impact in his tenure. 2008 Frease - graduated Tu - graduated Lyons - left Redford - still there Brian Walsh - transferred 2009 Jeff Robinson - still there 2010 Jay Canty - gone Jordan Latham - gone Justin Martin - still there Griffin McKenzie - gone 2011 Dee Davis - still there Jalen Reynolds - didnt qualify Dez Wells - gone 2012 Semaj Christon - enrolled Myles Davis - didnt qualify Jalen Reynolds - didnt qualify...again James Farr - enrolled Two transfers in Travis Taylor and Isaiah Philmore round out the 8 players currently on scholarship and eligible to play in 12-13 along with the 6 guys listed. Not looking good on Victory Parkway...
September 18, 201214 yr Author 2 first place finishes in conference and 2 sweet 16's in three seasons. On the back of Tu, Lyons and to a lesser extent Frease. Half of the recruits since Mack took over are gone. At best 9 scholarship players this year. I like Semaj and Dee a lot, but the roster is in trouble right now. And the A10 is likely stronger than ever. X no longer has the most talent in the league. Just a few simple observations...

I get what you're saying. I think it would take a bad season this year to seriously bring in to question his ability to run the program. And to this point winning has solved any underlying issues for the most part. 71-29 record, and attendence being at its highest in his three seasons since 2003.

All on the back of Miller's final class. The only Mack recruit to show some star power to this point was Wells and now he is gone as well. Going to be an interesting season in Norwood...

Going to be an interesting season in Norwood... What is Xavier's current outlook on the 2013 recruit class? At the way things are shaping up, he is going to have trouble putting a team out on the floor.
September 18, 201214 yr Author What is Xavier's current outlook on the 2013 recruit class? At the way things are shaping up, he is going to have trouble putting a team out on the floor. The only commit at this point is Chris Thomas who is a big time talent, and an even bigger head case. They are in on some quality 4 star and high 3 star kids, but are battling with quality BCS programs for all of them. If they don't end up with 2 or 3 from that bunch it is going to be trouble long term...
September 18, 201214 yr All on the back of Miller's final class. The only Mack recruit to show some star power to this point was Wells and now he is gone as well. Going to be an interesting season in Norwood... As I said, this season will determine if he's right for the long term. He's won so far which makes whose kids they were irrelevant to this point. It will be an interesting season.
September 18, 201214 yr Author As I said, this season will determine if he's right for the long term. He's won so far which makes whose kids they were irrelevant to this point. It will be an interesting season. It is relevant because to this point he hasn't replaced the exiting talent level. Miller gave him the keys to a BMW. Right now the roster is a poorly pimped out Prius...

Kids should see the prospects for early playing time and be open to signing early.
September 18, 201214 yr Author Not a bad way to spiral is it..... Safety net is gone now. The spiral really started December 10th 2011. The events of the last 30 days or so certainly haven't helped matters. And I haven't even gotten into the near canyon size divide growing between Mack and the BOT. The next 12 months will be very interesting indeed...
