Two-time NBA Champion and 1999 Xavier graduate James Posey arrived in town yesterday prior to tonight's Hall of Fame festivities that will honor him as well as former volleyball star Sara Bachus and former athletic director Jeff Fogelson. "It's a great honor. I'm not sure it's really sunk in yet." Posey's group that will be in attendance tonight will include Posey's father. Posey made it just in time late yesterday afternoon to play with the men's basketball players during open gym time at Cintas Center. Although Jamel McLean got some bragging rights by blocking back-to-back three-point attempts in one game, Posey clearly showed why he is a valuable part of any team he plays for at any level. Senior B.J. Raymond was one of Posey's teammates and hit almost every shot he took yesterday. Posey worked out at Cintas Center today with XU assistant coach Chris Mack.
Posey's new team this year (New Orleans) includes former XU star, 2003 XU graduate and National Player of the Year David West. He said he hasn't been able to make any progress on a move to New Orleans due to the recent weather there and the impending back weather headed towards his main area of residence in Texas.
There will be a video interview with Posey on GoXavier.com this weekend.
