Here is a list if Xavier's last year's roster of BIGS: 6'10" 247 Sean O'Mara, 6'10" 232 Jalen Reynolds, 6'10" 210 Makinde London, 6'10" 240 James Farr and 6'9" 240 RaShid Gaston. This sounds more like a BIG TIME division 1 roster.
Let's not get too euphoric. I know that we are all experincing a "runners high" with the signing of Kostas. We still have NO CENTER on this team. We will be playing very small ball this coming year.
Is there still time to get a center for this year? Or does Archie need to be hitting the transfer wire to get a kid to sit on the bench for a year and have a center for next year?
Rosters are still incomplete for this coming year but it does look like Xavier will also be much smaller in this coming year due to transfer of Makinde London and graduation.

The game is changing. Villanova had a 6'11 center, but after that, nobody over 6'6 played more than 17 min a game. They, like UD last year were a guard and forward oriented team with only 1 true big man. For this season they have nobody on their roster taller than 6'8. We have 2 or 3 depending on XW. I am not too worried about our lack of a center. That is the way the game is going, whether people like it or not. Just like all the spreads and uptempo in college football.
