Any comments?

Muskieman - I am (maybe) too high on Jones. I based my feelings on his 2:15 you tube when he looked like a dunking machine, a shot blocking and rebounding player. I assume (and you have contacts I do not have) that you meant he would not be much of a factor this year. Maybe I should not put so much importance in a video on you tube. And maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part. Time will tell. Go Xavier!

Seems about right. Sure hope Myles is not n uniform against n soon.

I think Bernard is a nice wildcard for us off the bench, especially if he can handle playing guard. I don't know his age, but would assume around 23. He has a lot of experience and averaged 4.3 assists and 2.3 steals last year, to go along with 14.4 points and 7.1 rebounds. He is listed and G/SF. I know these stats were at Florida A&M, but he has that veteran experience.

yea a rebounding machine, who might be the sub for Gates. Let's hope Chris has a hard time deciding because they both are studs for us.

I've watched 10 clips of Tyrique. He has a nice looking midrange jumper and can go left.

Jones is really raw offensively and mainly can only score from a few feet in so they are not expecting much from him early. Depth will be a concern in the back court especially if Davis gets suspended for the first semester

I don't know why you say Tyrique is raw. In the videos I watched, he would often set up on the perimeter in the half-court and could go left or shoot over the defense. My guess he gets Kaiser-like minutes.

That is according to some people close to the program. Those you tube videos are against high school kids and don't mean much.

but that does not diminish those videos because even the 5 star players are playing high school kids.
