X has now leapfrogged Miami to move to #16 overall in the latest 247 class rankings. The BE (the smallest major bball conference) now represents 2 of the top 5 classes, 4 of the top 16, and 6 of the top 21.

You can most likely take Rashard Kelly off Xavier's list now. He was supposed to visit but that got cancelled after the London commitment and he went to George Washington instead.

With O'Mara we are one over for next year but pretty much everyone knows Semaj is gone. I think we could take another but it would have to be a top level guy and I don't think the staff sees Kelly as that.

List updated...I figured somebody in the know would give the word on Kelly. X still has one remaining ship, but with a great class already, I'd expect coach mack to hold it for next year after getting some major burn on FS1 as a BE program.

James Demery to St. Joe's so tick him off the CU list.

PhenomHoopReport.com scout Rick Lewis's take:

"Reports are in that St. Joseph has been charged with GRAND LARCENY in the commitment of @JKDemery25 "

"Bluiett has opened up his recruitment, and if he's looking closer to home, you have to think #Butler will be among favorites."

Xavier will also be one of the leaders on Trevon.

"When he sat down and thought about it, I think the distance from home was hard for him," Bluiett's father said. Butler is close to home."
