Scanning the portal

This guy was a freshman last year so I would think he is a Miller recruit and not a Steele recruit like Kraft.
Former 4 star who chose Xavier over Syracuse and Penn State. 6’7 guard but only played 9 minutes this past year.

surprised the number of Xavier players in the portal

NJ Benson to Depaul

Ohio State Sophomore Bowen Hardman joined the portal. 6-3 G from Cincinnati. Not sure if we recruited him, but are we a possible option he may consider?

Welcome!
Ps, I thought you were our new basketball recruit when I read your handle.

Thanks! Not a recruit, just a Miami graduate who’s currently working with some college athletes (not as an agent).

From Princeton HS. FWIW, this from an OSU fanzine shortly before Holtmann was replaced.

“More than a few fans have asked why Hardman never plays, when his teammates say he is the team’s best shooter and that part of his game was already pretty refined coming out of high school. Chris Holtmann said last year that Hardman’s just not physically built or ready for this level of basketball, and truth be told if that’s really true, there’s never going to be a path for him to play.”

It does appear that he held a Xavier offer when Travis was head coach there.

That might mean more than if prior staff offered.
