First, the news:
As with any coaching change, roster construction was always going to be an issue as Xavier transitioned from Travis Steele to Sean Miller. Comfortably less than a month after the change became official, Miller has landed recommitment a from two out of the three recruits that had agreed to play for Steele. Only Tyrell Ward remains.
One of the biggest arguments in favor of keeping Travis Steele on board for another season was the class that he had assembled for the upcoming season. Ward, Claude, and Kam Craft are all four-star players and ranked in most reputable top 100s.
