“True playmaker” Xavier Hutchinson one of many ISU receivers shining in practice
- Thread starter The Rob Gray
- Start date
Way to craft an excellent article out of some entirely discrete quotes, Rob!
It was interesting to me how, between White, Hutchinson and CMC, they managed to touch on almost every single scholarship player In the WR room as being impressive—and I’m guessing the one they missed is still working his way back into shape from a high school injury and sitting out a year.
That Xavier Hutchinson interview—he sounds like an excellent young man. I like him.
Go Cyclones!

Honestly I felt bad for Xavier. First Randy asks him why he went JUCO instead of going right to a 4 year college? Why do you think Randy? Xavier just tells him he had some things he had to take care of before he could go to a 4 year school.
And then the brilliant journalist, someone from the ISU Daily I believe, asks Xavier if he could go into what the "things" were that he needed to take care of? Seriously? Xavier told him that was kind of personal, but does tell him that he didn't take his school work seriously enough in high school.
It's obvious from this interview today that Xavier is a very bright kid, so I have no idea where Randy and this other guy were trying to go with this stupid questioning?
Some of these journalists need to be better.
Rob Gray did a great job of course as usual though! He's a professional....... unlike Randy and this other moron.

Sounds like he handled it well...sometimes I wish more players answered those kinds of questions like this though.
That was awesome!
It would have been funny if Xavier said something like..... "yeah, I could have went to an awesome football school like OU with all their flashy facilities, best coaches, awesome history, etc.... or to ISU with their great coaches, great campus, and an awesome QB to throw me the ball...... but I just felt a lot more comfortable at the s**t show Blinn Community College in the middle of nowhere.".
Well, it was one thing for Randy to ask, because with Xavier having Navy parents, there might have been a “hidden gem” story there. He missed his senior year with an injury, or only caught three passes or something.
Whoever followed it up was a jerk though, maybe looking for a good “Oh, I stole a car” story.
Xavier handled that and the OU questions well. Basically: “Umm...I liked ISU better than OU, all right?”
I enjoyed this young man.
