Larry Austin Jr. started the season as a major part of the rotation but drifted down the bench as the year went on. Is the Cullen Neal activity an indication that LAJ is considering moving on?
The news broke this week that Xavier had obtained permission to talk with New Mexico guard Cullen Neal about a graduate transfer that would bring Neal in eligible to play immediately. Astute Xavier fans noted that there is no scholarship available for Neal should the team remain comprised as it is. News broke yesterday that Makinde London isn't leaving, and with Trevon Bluiett not currently looking likely to go in the NBA draft, that leaves only a couple of places where Xavier might free up a scholarship.
