Deshaun Morman Projection this Season

Hey guys Vcuboy22 here and I was wondering how Deshaun is doing at Cincinnati. He was a vcu recruit for awhile, and I thought he would fit perfectly with us. I thought he could become the next Kent Bazemore(Except going to Odu part haha)

So if anyone would like to say what he likely to contribute to your guys team that would be nice. Also you guys have a good squad with Kilpatrick returning!

He's been hampered by injury but Coach Cronin has said he may already be UC's best on ball defender.

Exactly why I thought he would be great for VCU haha he has defensive ability/instincts already. Exactly how Bazemore was except with Deshaun he has a much better offensive game coming out of high school.

Well, you guys probably already know but:

Well with a 6'4 frame he can get to the lane at will and finishes well there. He has a good outside shot, but it can get more consistent. He is an ATHLETE defiantly and can jump with the best of them. He is a good defender as your guys coach said too.

I hope he plays a good amount. I was a big fan of his back at Coolidge.

I think he has the potential to be a very good college basketball player. There have been some of the other frosh talked about more but I think Mormon in the end may be the best overall of them all. I love his toughness. The fact is with Kevin Johnson, Troy Caupain and Mormon UC is well set at the guard position for the future.

david aka the TYZ will become famous soon enough
From the little bit I saw of him in the 2nd preseason game I was impressed. I made it a point to just watch him an entire defensive series and he stuck to his man like glue when his man didn't have the ball. I love this because there are certain players you just can't defend once they have the ball. So your best defense is to keep them from getting the ball. This is what the term "shutdown defender" means to me. Granted it was one series and about 20 seconds so you can't predict his career from that, but I liked what I saw.

Sounds good I said a couple months ago either Johnson or Morman would redshirt and I believe Strickland will redshirt too.
