Bearcat Basketball Vs. Football

Twitter and all the Bearcat Bloggers like Chad are 100% about football. Thats why I wont even join Bearcat Journal. Am I wrong, but did basketball take a backseat to football? I get it, the football program has a lot of positive buzz and I'm happy for them but wow, never put your top 15 basketball program behind your football program. What do you guys think? I might be 100% wrong I just am sick of checking Twitter seeing 100 things a day on football and no basketball stuff. Again, I like UC Football hope they have good years to come, but basketball is where it's at when it comes to Bearcats.

Unless it's just this slow right now in basketball and this is a very busy point in football I don't know?

June is a heavy football month because it is camp season and there is a ton of recruiting activity. Basketball is quiet because AAU is off for the month and all that is going on right now is summer workouts. BCJ is the only outlet that has had any updates on hoops this month but there isn't much to report on at the moment. That will shift when I hit the road to cover hoops recruiting on July 13th and carry through to the start of football camp in August. We have also been publishing articles on each of the new guys in hoops to keep some basketball content flowing while things are slow...

Bball season is over for awhile. I think most uC fans are bball 1st but aside from the schedule, which is already done, what is there to talk about? If football gets better it's helps everyone

Right now there has been some commitments and visits from some really good players to schools like Xavier and others local schools and just haven't seen one thing about us, but oh well it's coming.

As someone who was only a casual UC football fan, but a diehard basketball fan, I will say that the current football staff has made me move towards becoming a diehard football fan. Seeing all the action on Twitter has me pumped up enough to the point where I am thinking about hoops less and less. Honestly, joining BCJ has made me even more involved with the football scoops and such. I think it's free until football season starts so I'd join up and see if you enjoy it.

Especially since the hoops recruiting news will ramp up here in two weeks like Chad said. Going to be a great summer for UC sports news.

Hoops recruiting will be 3-4 players at most and they rarely sign this far in advance. Also with mick, you almost never hear about recruits. Also there are way more players in football so, Obviously there will be more talk about them

I think the coverage will usually be proportionate to demand. More coverage on one doesn't mean less coverage on the other. In fact you can have both.
I cut my teeth on basketball and arrived to UC in Huggins first year. There was probably 10-15 years of basketball with very little football enjoyment.

I am very happy we now have reached a time when there are actual expectations out of our football program other than fielding a team. Basketball will probably always be my favorite but I am excited as hell for football. It's pretty cool we can be this excited about a coach or recruiting in football as a fan base without a down played yet.

We have had some very good coaches on the sideline over the years but we haven't had this type of success in recruiting ever IMO. I expect some very good news from BB recruiting soon and the coverage and fan chatter will follow.
