I'm really not trying to be the bad guy here, but this dude has no business playing at a school like Cincinnati. A former walkon from Monmouth, who's going to be a 5th year Sr. and averaged 12 a game? Guy averaged 3 rebounds and 1.5 assistant a game, so it's not like he's some elite passer or all around player either.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe a kid like a kid like this could do well here. But IMO if we started filling out our roster with players like this we're already dead in the water. If this kid sees more than a couple minutes a game then we're in some serious, serious trouble.

We need 7-8 good rotation guys. The rest can be developmental or role players. So we have room for just about anything. We have to get an impact 5 and wing. Need another shooter. The rest can be role play or HS.kids

One thing I would start doing if they don’t already is video early practice when concepts are being taught. Send those videos to new recruits to study until practice starts so we aren’t so far behind the learning curve.

I honestly do not believe a lot of these high major kids are wanting to play for Brannen, I may be wrong but if you had other major offers would you seriously consider UC at the moment? With how things have played out JB has dug himself a very deep grave and he is trying to claw out. Remember how much he talked up Rap? We all saw how that turned out. We can offer playing time and that's what a lot of these mid major kids want, they want a chance to play at a bigger school.

Remember similar things said about Adam H &
He couldn’t hit the ocean from the beach.
Rebounded a little but other than that....

Thats the kind of guy I'm taking a chance on. 9.6 block rate in very limited minutes. Plus Houston recruited him out of high school so that should make Justin happy.
