Stephanie Soares.  But she had played in 13 games out of Iowa State's games and they had no exempt games.  So she was at 13 of 28 games, or 46%.   Think it was a longshot that she would get the waiver because she was well above the exemption.

From what a poster had posted on here, Xavier would be at 11 of 31 games but just 8 of 28 of those that count, so he's at 29%.

There has to be a precedence to make the program believe XJ gets a waiver or he wasn't healthy enough. I just can't imagine we **** it up that bad.

If he wasn’t even healthy enough to make cuts by the end of the season, it would have been worth the risk.  But from what has been posted, he satisfies all the conditions to satisfy the waiver.

Thought we had inside information that he was a go several times until the story that he'd try to come back next season?

Who did he name? I went back to 92 on sports reference and can’t find 1 person who meets those criteria.

They're way too entrenched in numbers.

Woodson had indicated that he wasn't able to make cuts and said that until he could, it wasn't even an option.  I don't recall inside sources ever saying he was close....the best we got was Xavier tweeting that it was 'soon'.

Don't have time to go back and look but there were several posts about 1-2 weeks out, next week, should be ready by X game, he should be ready, etc.

Think those were all people speculating about the ‘soon’.

I think that the video of him in uniform doing pre-game quick-twitch drills convinced many that he was very close.

He planned to be back for the last 2 home games according to himself on the HH podcast.   Doctors said it wasn’t healing the way they wanted it to and he didn’t want to risk further injury.  He ended up sleeping on it and decided to try and get a hardship waiver instead of playing on a foot not fully healed.   So the plan was to come back but the plan got changed

I like it, always keeping an out helps with that. Kind of reinforces the wait and see approach over getting pumped about the info you want to hear from insiders.

Looks like Leal better be working on his post game

You are right, we have no inside guys on our roster right now lol! I guess you forget about Reneau and Sparks

Ya know, it’s been a long time since we caught a break (no pun intended) with our program. Trayce and Race deciding to come back last yea was huge to keep momentum, would have been brutal had they not came back. 
Now X’s foot not healing within his (our) preferred window and he’s good with coming back this year is SUPER huge to keep building. At least to me anyway. It’s about damn time we see some of the bounces go our way. Maybe, just maybe we’ve paid our debit for killing Myles Brands goat. Or was he the satan himself, which ever? Don’t care.

In the alternative, XJ coming back fully healthy might have been enough to push us over the hump in a wide open year. S16? E8? Further…with him on the roster it was certainly possible.  
 

Either way, him coming back next year should be coup for us.

I hear you and that was, in the moment, exactly what I was thinking. Buuuut, In after thought, could it be better that he returns this year, as a foundation so success can stay equal or even gain, instead of having a step backwards year? I don’t know the answer obviously, but to me I think him being back is greater than an E8 run last year, for program longevity sake. 
just an opinion of course.

Would Pack have even scored on XJ?

Also changes the lineup quite a bit. JHS/Gallo able to guard SG,SF primarily would’ve been a much better matchup for us against Miami. X is a dog but IU without a small/quick guard forced them into playing unfavorable lineups pretty consistently (@MD, Iowa, Miami, Mich St).
