AAC Media Day

Bearcat_NTS · 10-28-2014, 10:34 PM

Tomorrow is AAC media day. It starts with the coaches roundtable hosted by Len Elmore will be at 9 am and I believe it will stream live on the American's website. I am expecting to see Cincinnati being picked to finish 4th slightly above Tulsa and below Memphis.

Cincinnati predicted to finish 4th. Preseason rankings, all-conference teams, and interviews with Mick Cronin, Shaq Thomas, Jermaine Sanders, and Ge'lawn Guyn:

Good stuff. Its funny to hear these guys talk because for 3 years you really never have heard from them. In a serious question, does Shaq have a speech impediment or do you think that was nerves? Brutal interview to watch.

I've never noticed it in the hundreds of times I've spoken to him. Had to be nerves...

Thanks for the info! Sure is genuine to see these guys on a different big stage. They should have plenty of experience dealing with reporters this year.

I enjoyed the GG interview. I sense a new level of maturity for GG. I know everyone on here has been wishing long and hard that GG's role will be diminished, but I think the opposite will be true. I anticipate he will have a really good season and will be one of the keys to our success. I believe his 3-pt. shooting & FT shooting will be vastly improved and his defense will be stellar as usual. I'm hoping we see an improvement in his court vision and distributing the rock, but overall, I'm expecting a big season from him. Our depth and talent at the guard position will be the team's strength.

L-T I think most like myself have no problem with GG we just like Caupain better. Yes there are some outliers who bashed him but by and large I think most just thought TC demonstrated he was the better player based on his time on the court and statistically.

That said I agree that he will be better this season because he is healthy. We will need him to be better and certainly his leadership.

I doubt he plays more than 10-12 minutes a game at the one...
