Well, I hope not! I haven't heard anything that would point to them leaving. This article that my friend found helps to point to the fact that they wouldn't leave early.

(Guys like David West and James Posey, both successful NBA players, graduated)

Crawford is most likely going pro. He raised his stock a TON in the past few weeks and I bet he is now a Top 20 pick or so. I'f be shocked if he was at Xavier next year.

That was my thought as well. That's a lot of money to pass up.

Although I guess it is possible that he wants to stay another year and try to play himself into a certain lottery pick?

What are your predictions for the rest of the tourney?

I am going to go with KSU, Duke, Kent(had WVU in my bracket but the injury changes it and Kent looks great this tourney..hope WVU wins tough) and MSU.

Kentucky over MSU for title.

I don't think MSU should get to the final game but I see Izzo outcoaching Pearl and Martin.

Very uneasy about DUke/Baylor.

As an incoming freshman, the past couple days, I've been really searching around to see what people think about if he'll stay or if he'll go.

My conclusion: No one knows. There are good points from both sides of the arguement. Some say his stock won't rise, and he's a top 15 player. Others say he's a 1st-round fringe right now, and he wants to try and win next year.

Fact of the matter is, there is no way he'll stay for his senior year. If he stays for another season at Xavier, he'll go pro the following. If he does stay, Xavier will return 4 starters, with only graduating one player (Love). From what I've read, it's also the Musketeers' best recruiting class coming in.

I'd love for him to stay, and hopefully the emotions felt in the past 2 weeks entices Crawford to stay another year to try and go the distance in the tournament. But, I do understand how much attention he's gotten since then, which may cause him to ahve his mind set on the NBA.

West Virginia gets its first two-pointer at 18:08 left in the second half, bringing the Mountaineers to 1-for-17 from inside the arc, compared to 10-for-17 from outside it (the tenth make coming on the following possession). On 11-for-34 total shooting West Virginia leads Kentucky 36-26.

Kentucky is now at least 0-for-17 from three-point range; if this holds out it will be the first time in over 20 years that Kentucky has failed to convert at least one three-point shot in a game. On November 26, 1988, Kentucky, coached by Eddie Sutton, lost 63-60 to Seton Hall, coached by P. J. Carlesimo, in a game played at Anchorage, Alaska in the Great Alaska Shootout tournament. The Wildcats went 0-for-2 from beyond the arc in that contest, the only game Kentucky lost in three appearances in the tournament (1979, 1988, 1996).

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Did we ? You can’t possibly know that. Apparently, Elias got a player he thought he could fix.  Sorry but I just don’t think Rogers is as good as Irvin with his diminished stuff. I think he’s essentially a throw away. It would be wise to extend Eflin now while we still can. That way the resources used to get him can actually provide some long term value. Dominguez was an ok pickup…I don’t hate the deal. Problem is we needed a closer and he’s isn’t that. Thankfully Bautista is returning and will push him down the depth chart a slot or two. Soto ….Agreed, you bring him back if you can’t find a better option. I expect them to keep him. Otherwise, giving up Seth Johnson with our minors pitching quality shortage looks like a bad decision  Eloy didn’t cost much …. My general thought is pick ups like him didn’t matter beyond how you grade those acquisitions on a team that “Really Wanted to Win”. I question this because none of the guys that we picked up where having good seasons elsewhere. My thoughts are the same for Rivera …. He was a 563 OPS in Miami but got hot here and was a .948 here. His career OPS is .676 so his stint here is probably not repeatable. His projected arb number is 1.4 million so they likely keep him around as a piece and he’s young enough that maybe the change in scenery caused the light to come on.   By the way … here’s a piece from Roch about sone of these guys.   https://www.masnsports.com/blog/taking-another-look-at-orioles-roster-decisions

      This has to count as one of the, if not the, biggest choke in ALCS history. Up 5-3 with two outs and no one on in the ninth, after you came back from 1-3 in the eight, with a chance to put a lock on the series.

      Clay Holmes' agent could have used the season ending a good couple months ago. It was nice seeing a chink in Luke Weaver's armor.    Gunnar Henderson v. Anthony Volpe is kind of a centerpiece of Mike Elias mostly out-General Managing Brian Cashman the last half decade, but Luke Weaver v. Craig Kimbrel is not a good chapter and flipping those two guys might have changed the 2024 division.

      I have all sorts of credit cards that charge interest because they provide me with tens of thousands of dollars in free interest. That said, I never pay interest, because I always pay off the balance each month.

      My friend and I each had flex plans. Him $2500 and me $1300. Neither of us renewed. Are schedules are too difficult to commit to a set plan and the lack of perks for the lower-tier set plans and flex plans make it not worth letting the Os earn the float on our money.

      I was going to post Ride the Lighting from Metallica but decided not to. I now regret that decision.
