This is going to be a rebuild through HS recruiting. Constant recycling of transfer portal players can't be the answer. 85-90% of college players will never make money playing ball after college. So they need to make all they can during their 4 years. Coaches will never be able to count on having a kid for more than a year at the time, so unless you can get big time freshman contributors, or have enough $$ to outbid other schools for your own players, you can't count on high school recruiting as your business model. The sport needs to bring back and enforce a 1 year redshirt for transfers. It's destroying college basketball and it's doing so very quickly.

So the season was a complete waste on a development front, while also squandering any positive momentum from hiring a new coach. Awesome.

The program has won 4 games in the last 3 years. Let's not blame the 15 fans they have left.

Rich Pitino is taking SJU to the dance, while we went 2-18. It's not great.

This season, just like the last several, has been an abject embarrassment to the university, its students, and its alumni.

Might be time to just admit this program is DEAD dead. To be fair, 98% of the former fanbase is already there.

Hard to watch this and think we made the right hire. Impossible really.

My expectations for this season were low. I wanted to look like a real basketball team, to compete, and to be in the mix for 8th or 9th place in the conference.
We've failed by every measure.

This season is a complete disaster. Significantly worse than my worst fears.

It's really frustrating that SJU is a tournament team immediately, and we're still a dumpster fire. And I am 100% certain we would not be with their coach, who wanted to come here.

Another gut punch in a season becoming full of them (Kansas State, Seton Hall). Just have to hope it doesn't become too many for our core guys in the Portal Era.

Every clutch Xavier possession ends in a layup or dunk. Make them make a Editeding shot.

I expected us to be better than this, this year. And I believe that expectation was fair. This is disappointing.

I really really hope to see a major leap in the quality of play next season. Doesn't look like we'll be getting it this year.

Realistically, this team doesn't seem much better than last year.

Program remains an absolute joke. What a bitter disappointment.
