When Sean Miller returned to Xavier University as the men's basketball coach nearly 15 months ago, he saw a roster with returning production and overall promise.
"There were three incoming players (from last year), Desmond Claude, Kam Craft and then Souley Boum," Miller said. "The other guys had been here, whether they had played a lot or not, they were already in school and were returning. I thought that really helped in the transition, not only from the experience, but the general feel that they knew Xavier."
