Nick Daniels, who is now known as Rashid Abdul-Rahim, was one of the most explosive offensive players in Xavier history. Daniels, a three-time XU Most Valuable Player award winner, still ranks 12th on Xavier's all-time scoring list with 1,690 career points and ranks third in steals in a season with 79. He ranks fourth in career steals (202).

Daniels was the MVP of one of the greatest regular season Xavier championships of all time. He poured in 24 points to help defeat NCAA-bound and No. 12-ranked Southern Cal in the semifinals and 22 points in the championship game against highly-favored host Tennessee in the 1978 Volunteer Classic, XU's first holiday tournament win since 1955. During his senior season, the team also defeated Detroit, another NCAA participant, on the Titans home court. Daniels was a seventh round pick in the 1979 NBA Draft by the Kansas City Kings, where he was one of the last guards to be cut by that team.
