Shaping up to be a great recruiting week for Xavier

[TheHall]

The Twitterverse saying Abell to XU is a done deal.

Nice work by Coach Mack.

Some potentially bad offseason news for Remy & X.

@XUNation: Remy Abell went down in Summer League play today with an apparent knee injury.
@matt_alexander2: Shooting the Deveroes Summer League and XU's Remy Abell is on the ground in pain with a knee injury. Carried off the floor.
‏@AirJordan: Looks like a potentially serious knee injury for former #iubb guard Remy Abell in summer league action, per @RickBroering

Just lovely.

I understand he is a truly great young man; I hope he receives good news.

Some better news is that all 6 frosh played today. Bluiett 16 mins 14 pts, Sumner 14 mins 18 pts. O'Mara 11pts, London 9/8. Jalen Reynolds pretty much did whatever he wanted scoring 32. Basically pickup games but you get a look at the athleticism of these guys. Montrezl Harrell from Louisville showed up. Asked why, he said he "just wanted to play" and that's basically what summer league is all about.

Can't wait for Georgetown's Summer league to start in a couple weeks. The Kenner League as it's called is one of the most competitive summer leagues around. Always has some NBA players stop in, Usually Georgetown Alums like Jeff Green show up every year, but tons of random people show up too. It's a very big deal. If anyone is in DC they should totally check it out.

Hope Abell is ok.

Good news for #Xavier's Remy Abell, who hurt his knee yesterday: He did not sustain a serious injury and should be back in about a week.

Thank...God!

That's great to hear. With so many freshman coming in Remy's cbb experience will be huge.

I love Kenner League too but I don't know about using it to gauge freshmen anymore than the other summer leagues. I believe Reggie Cameron lit it up last year too but not so much during the season. n the other hand Kenner League exposed Domingo's over-hyped range two years ago so who knows. I do think RC will be a big contributor at some point though.

It's certainly a mistake to use any summer league to accurately predict a freshman's impact, but I do think Kenner League is more competitive than the average summer league. It's probably a slightly better predictor than other leagues and probably prepares freshman a little better, but again I also would not use it as a predictor.

For what it's worth I did a quick search of our message board and it seems reggies defensive limitations were exposed early on in Kenner and he was hit or miss from 3, so they got that one pretty accurately.

Reggie's defensive limitations & average athleticism were exposed in high school lol. The Hoyas brought RC in to snipe which definitely's been hit or miss. Kenner draws great talent and most of the former hoyas stars but the extra energy seems to come from the hype surrounding the incoming players. The more buzz the better and looking at the next 2 classes of recruits it should be a tremendous buzz there. The wings this year and the bruisers (so far) next year.
