Chad filled in for mo today. He talked a lot about uc. Worth a listen. The link is on his twitter timeline. Sounds like brannen has some good recruits visiting. A lot to get excited about.

Not really a huge fan of Chad but even he made Mo sound like a scrub. Cincy really needs to get someone better.

I think Brannen deserves a one hour nap! He has earned it.
The buzz from this past week has been a lot of fun! He has filled every significant hole on the roster and managed to lock down the #1 SG grad transfer left on the market. I went from talking about a full rebuild to having legit expectations for another NCAA appearance in about 1 week. |

Last years team had 1 star (Jarron), 3 very good players (Jenifer, Scott, Brooks), two other solid players (Keith, Broome) and some others who could usually play well enough to let the main 6 rest (Moore, Fredericks, Diarra, Nsoseme). This year we have 1 star (Jarron) and 3 very good players (Jaevin, Williams, Scott - who may even become a star). But we don't have another obvious two other solid players. Diarra and Moore are who I hope will fill those roles, but they have some question marks. The other veterans (McNeal, Sorolla) look worse and the freshmen (Hardnett/Prince) are unproven. If we don't make the NCAA tournament this year it is because we can't develop a 5th and 6th man fast enough to go with our solid main 4. Center is the biggest concern, I don't think we have big/strong/athletic enough guards to play small with Scott at the 5 for long periods. That means Diarra, Sorolla and/or Hardnett (who could play as a slightly undersized 5) have to give a combined at least 30 quality minutes per game. If we are a great team this year it's because Moore finally finds his shot and Diarra (or maybe Hardnett) quickly becomes a solid starter. |

I think the one thing with McNeal is we are all envisioning him in a Cronin system, or at least I am.
If he can be a guy that pushes the pace, gets us a good look early in the shot clock and runs out in transition at every chance, he could really be productive for us. Really is a shame Broome didn't have 1 year left, this seems like a perfect spot for somebody with a game like his. |

I think Sorolla is what he is and we will need him for backup but he's not likely going to wow anyone. |
