Titus is the type of player every team needs. He goes full speed all the time and loves to pass and rebound. He needs to become a more consistent outside shooter but he is a slasher. He also needs to slow down with the ball on offense and not force things.

Earlier in this forum I said he was comparable to Rueben Patterson and Mick recently said the same thing. He will hit foul shots over 70% of the time too. He will fit in nicely to the new Bearcat system and be a solid player from the time he arrives by rebounding and hustling on defense. He is a good pick up for the Bearcats. He may not be a superstar but he will be a solid contributor.

If he is #4 in blue in that above video, there is no way your statement is true.

Looking forward to seeing what he can do in a Bearcat uni.

Jeff, It seems like our frontcourt is getting a bit crowded with JJ, Rubles, Mbodj, Gaines, and Ellis (and maybe even Obekpa).

With Rubles and no Obekpa, who do you think starts at 4 & 5 next year?

Not really sure how you can tell anything from that video. Would like to see other videos of Titus if there are any.

Yeah, it's pretty terrible. It does show him giving up on getting back on a fast break as well as letting a guy take the ball up to the rim without contesting...then again, maybe he was in foul trouble.

I just thought it was funny to have a video posted showing him giving up on some plays right after being said he never gives up on plays. Just messing around.

From all I've heard I'm looking forward to seeing this kid on the court for UC.

C - Mbodji/Obekpa
PF -Jackson

Mbodji and Jackson will have the opportunity to win the positions. You'll see combinations where Jackson, Thomas and Rubles are all on the floor together with Cash and Killa. I love the athleticism of that line up.

Per Rothstein: Titus Rubles will give the bearcats a new athletic dimension. Cincinnati can have a small, fast lineup with him in it.

I think rubles has been partially forgotten with the obekpa recruitment. I think he will surprise some people and be solid the next couple years. Nice to see him get some love from an outside source.

Word is Titus Rubles continues to impress for Cincinnati. Combo forward is perfect fit for Bearcats. Will close games regularly in 12-13.
