And this:
Word is Ridder wanted to be closer to his home in Missouri, prompting his decision to leave the program. It’s worth noting that Xavier isn’t any farther away form Missouri when it was when Ridder committed. Ridder probably didn’t figure to be the lynch pin of the program this year, but he was likely going to be able to get some chances to get onto the floor.
