This my friends is a huge get, no, make that: H-U-G-E...! Easily the highlight of the summer.
A warm welcome to "Kunk" from Xavier Nation. Congrats to you young man on a fine choice and congrats to our coaching staff. Dude can score, from all over the court, tremendous catch & shoot from deep or off the dribble, and a gym-rat. The basketball gods are smiling on X today.

What is his eligibility status? How many seasons will he be playing in an XU uniform? Does he have to sit out this coming season?

Sit this yr, then TWO years eligibility!
And, his D will be just fine.

I know many people disagree but i really liked Welage. He was brought in to be a deep threat and was. Shot nearly 40% which is very good. He just had no outside help. This guy will have help and can make an impact with the shooters X will have (KyKy and Wilcher)

Posters,
First of all, my apologies for my time away from the board, and kudos to my co-moderators for covering my responsibilities...to the best of their limited abilities. Kunkel and Caesar will be great additions to next year's class, and help stagger the talent stream. Steele may have struggled a bit acclimating to the big seat, but his recruiting continues to be stellar. Great summer for X so far. Addition by subtraction with Marshall, and now having a great start for the 21-22 class. I don't think that even Hops could find something wrong with this pick up.
Icing on the cake would be Muskieman reimbursing my 11 expense reports for moderator related expenses.

Completely agree with this. He had a very rare skill set on that team: very good outside shooting. His defense was bad, but so was Bluiett's. Welage obviously wasn't as good, but Steele should have figured out a way to get him ore P.t. , even of it mean playing more zone. Without him on the floor, the rest of the players were much easier to defend, because the D packed the lane. X 's team will have good shooters this year, and even more next. I'm hopeful and cautiously optimistic Steele's coaching execution will improve with a better mix of personnel.

Where do I get the expense form, Homer? I didn’t realize we were entitled to reimbursement.

Sounds like a good pick up. I'm assuming that he is a SG, but hopefully he can handle the ball as well. Hoepfully Steele can do a better job with him than Welage and Moore. Nice to see X-pert and AH back from their sabatical in Portland and Chicago.
