A Recap of the Season's Grades

Every player and the coach have been graded and here's what the final tally says. The top two scores have graduated, but there is a lot of talent on the way.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to participate in this year's Season in Review voting. (Even you, guy who gave everyone an F). Based on the feedback and participation we got this year, we will definitely carry the idea forward into Xavier's upcoming off-seasons. While you can read the recaps of every single player in the Season in Review section, this recap will break down where the community and the staff ranked each player and Coach Mack.

Brandon Randolph:

Community: D
Banners Staff: D

Brandon struggled through a season that he will probably wish he could have just redshirted. The erstwhile heir to Dee Davis' throne has put in for a transfer and will be playing his ball elsewhere when the 2016-17 season tips off.

Sean O'Mara:

Community: D
Banners Staff: D

O'Mara also received a D, but his feels a lot different that Randolph's. Sean showed some flashes of the kind of talent that get you scholarship offers from a premier Big East program this year.

Larry Austin Jr.:

Community: C
Banners Staff: C

The point guard spot in theory falls for LAJ, who worked hard all year to make himself part of the rotation by the end of the season. Offensively he has a long way to go, but it seems like Coach Mack will give him the chance.

JP Macura:

Community: C
Banners Staff: C

JP was either blazing hot or stone cold, and he didn't seem to care too much which. He created instant action, for better or for worse, when he came of the bench and is rapidly becoming a fan favorite.

Trevon Bluiett:

Community: C
Banners Staff: B

Bluiett faded as the season went on, but he was one of Xavier's top two scorers all year long. Of all of Xavier's freshman, he looks most likely to throw the team on his back at some point.

Remy Abell

Community: B
Banners Staff: A

The first place the community at large and the staff disagree is on Xavier's defensive and three point shooting specialist. Remy is currently the only above average man to man defender on the team.

Myles Davis

Community: B
Banners Staff: B

Myles again tired down the stretch, but he bounced back in time to bury Georgia State and very nearly spark a comeback. With the exception of of Jalen, Xavier may not have a more bloodyminded player.

Jalen Reynolds:

Community: B
Banners Staff: A

That pretty much sums it up.

Dee Davis:

Community: A
Banners Staff: A

Dee will be greatly missed by the Musketeers, who have relied on him to run the offense for the last two years. Fittingly, he closed his career with his best season.

Matt Stainbrook:

Community: A- MVP
Banners Staff: A- MVP

The big man was hands down the most valuable player on the team this year, and both the staff and the community at large recognized that. Xavier is loaded with frontcourt talent, but the Stain Train won't be easy to replace.

Coach Mack:
