This week Xenia product Samari Curtis chose UC over Xavier. This, of course, spurred a great deal of tribalism on the internet. (Shocking, I know). The Crosstown Shootout doesn’t usually play out in head to head recruiting battles. For whatever reason, the programs recruit different players from different areas.
Aside from all of the usual reasons we could give as to why Xavier is the superior program, there’s an argument to be made that guards, especially people who fancy themselves point guards, would be much better served to play at Xavier. Of course, that comes with a caveat.
