It’s a very fair question to ask… If we get the double bye, we have to win the BTT and make the Elite Eight (maybe S16 depending on how they round). Every game potentially matters for his eligibility next year. Edited March 4, 2023 by KoB2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogermci Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 I don't see the point in bringing him back. We have no chance to win the NCAA next year. Why steal minutes from incoming point guard Gabe Cupps next year? All Cupps has done is led Centerville to the Ohio big school championship 2 years ago, runner up finish last year and the number one ranking prior to the tournament this year. I've watched him play for 3 years and the kid can flat out ball. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 What’s the timing on when he would hear something? It would be the most NCAA thing ever to not rule until it was too late to find someone else for that scholarship if it was a no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Cupps is solid next year, it’d be extremely unlikely he’d be better than a 6th year senior who’s already proven he can play at an all-BIG level. You never know how a kid’s game will translate from high school to college especially in a conference as tough as ours.

You run the risk of Cupps decommitting which would be a far greater loss than getting XJ back and not winning either the B1G or the NCAA. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, because Cupps committed knowing that JHS could very well be here next year and possibly after. So now he’d decommit because XJ would be here one year max?

I was told in another thread that “they always round up.” So that a guy that averages 9.6 points a game is really a double digit scorer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just asking questions. If we aren’t getting X this year, I REALLY want him next year. Not trying to look ahead too much, but that massively changes the outlook for next year at this point. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With X(possibly) coming back you can now put effort in a wing and a big. Maybe get a good 4. IU will need better wings and a post that can shoot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 I figure Woody and Xavier know much more than us and discussed their options. Sad X won't be back this season but great news for next year. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it goes well into the summer it would put our coaches in a bind when it comes to the portal Thats the bad thing. There is no time table on the NCAA.

You never know how a kid’s game will translate from high school to college especially in a conference as tough as ours. Indeed…we’ve all seen how important guard play is in the B1G. Parking X on the opponents best scoring guard is 100% better than having Cupps a freshman try to check them. There are plenty of guard minutes to go around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 Saw this coming awhile ago…there was no chance he was going to come back and play any meaningful minutes this year. JHS isn’t coming off the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
