I don't get what Jennifer does for us anymore. I was honestly hoping he would have been a Grad Transfer somewhere this year and I know that's mean to say. I like Jennifer, he's a tough player, but if Cane's not running point Id rather see Logan in there. I think we have had those Bearcat players where we don't want to let go (Gary, SK, Justin Jackson, etc.) and others we are just ready to see move on (Shaq Thomas, Ellis, Justin Jennifer, etc.) Last edited by GarradJ21; 08-10-2018 at 02:55 PM. |

Halfway through the offseason and who has improved? Keith, Elle, Tre? Very concerned about guard play, Cane has been turning the ball over and has taken poor shots and Jenifer a non factor on offense. Neither has shown anything significant this preseason. Hopefully Logan can push some of the vets. And what is going on with Brooks, seems to have been going backwards, Elle may start just by principal. UC needs Cumberland to be all league and at least 2 other guys honorable mention out of Tre, Fredericks, Cane, Keith, all are solid but no locks.

I’m excited about Johnson and Fredericks and think both (especially Fredericks) will contribute this season. Really need moore to find his shot and Williams to get to the rim. Won’t be as good as the last 2 years but these kids seem to be working. I do have concerns about Cronin using their strengths because he failed the last 2 years. |

Eliie's FT shooting is vastly improved. He also looked good on the court, though he needs a better inside scoring game. Fredericks looked like the real thing. A tough player who can rebound and score downlow. According to this Rothstein tweet: "The wildcard for Cincinnati in 18-19 is Mamoudou Diarra. All of 6-10 and 220. In drills, he looks like Jakarr Sampson. In games? TBD." Diarra may also be improved, but he wasn't on the Canada trip (Visa issues). I'm expecting a starting lineup of Cumberland, Williams, Fredericks, Scott, Eliel based on Canada. Guard play and Brooks seem to be the two likely dissapointments. If Diarra is the real thing, Brooks can just sit on the bench. Logan will get some minutes. I expect Cumberland will be playing quite a bit of PG. |

You seriously expect neither senior guard to start? I want Broome, Cumberland, Fredericks, Scott and Ellie to start when big and sub Williams/moore/ in for Ellie for small ball. What we will get is Jenifer and brooks starting for some unknown reason and a coach that won’t adjust. |

I think the senior advantage generally comes from being a veteran and knowledgeable. Cronin wants guys on the court who can teach others as the game goes along and help players be in the right position. Broome/Brooks/Jenifer don't fit the mold. Broome and Brooks are too error prone and lost too often to be teaching others. Jenifer just isn't good enough. I expect Cumberland and Scott to be our veteran leaders and the seniors and Brooks not to be guaranteed playing time because of their knowledge of the game. The Cumberland, Williams, Fredericks, Scott, Ellie seems like the type of lineup Cronin will love. Defensively they can switch anything and anyone can guard any position at a reasonably high level. They are also all able to go in get rebounds. It's the lineup that started vs McGill and Cumberland finished the first quarter with 4 assist. |

Cronin will play the guys he thinks give him the best chance to win.
