Xavier wants Dahmir Bishop, who happens to be URI's #1 target

 

[SoFla Steve]

Don't think he is visiting Clemson this weekend. There had been some talk about that, but from Zags article this week.

He has set officials to UConn (Sept. 21), Xavier (Sept. 29), Clemson (Oct. 12) and St. John’s (Oct. 19), although father told ZAGSBLOG he may move the Xavier visit up.

That's right. 247 is still reporting the old date.

“You’re not here to play school!”

That was an all time line. And entirely accurate.

Xavier wants Dahmir Bishop, who happens to be URI's #1 target

And Xavier got Bishop last night.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

And Xavier got Bishop last night.

And add to the fact that they've already got a '20 commit from Dwon Odom, the 21nd ranked PG of his class.

In addition to Odom and Bishop, if another guard signs with Xavier, he'll have to also battle for playing time with Goodin in his freshman year, and Scruggs and Kennedy for his freshman and sophomore year.

There is NOTHING exciting about Xavier’s campus. I never understand a recruit’s desire to play there. Bearcats fans joke it is “Norwood University” because it’s really not a part of the Cincinnati area anyone would ever want to go to.

 

[HawkHusky]

The Cincinnati campus is really nice, far superior to Xavier's.

Also looking like Clemson gonna get 5 star guard Josiah James. He just visited Clemson and was supposed to visit duke, but canceled his visit and will announce on Wednesday instead. Definitely good news for uconn on gaffney

What happened at Clemson to suddenly make them relevant to highly rated recruits?

Duke stopped stealing all their recruits after losing their bag man to Pitt.

I think this situation just played out to Clemson’s favor. From what I read, Duke seemed like the heavy favorite to land James. But he probably re-evaluated at some point (after all duke will likely have at least 1 star guard in trey jones in 2019) and who knows about reddish (is he technically a 3 or a 2?). Lots of programs probs backed off. It also seems like he wanted to stay local from looking at his list of schools.

Also, even tho Clemson is a huge football school, their basketball program is not bad. Would honestly be pretty fun as a kid to go there for basketball.

Im sure Clemson is on the up and up. No doubt. They have an amazing basketball history.

To be fair they’re about to get Josiah James and Christian Brown in their 2019 class. Browning is doing something right.

I love Clemson's 1990 basketball history. Fer Sher.
