RT @Edgar_Walker: 2013 VA Assault guard DeShaun Morman has added offers from Illinois, Cincinnati & Murray State.

I think this kid's recruitment is getting ready to absolutely take off. He is extremely impressive in this highlight tape. Good size, shot, and athleticism.

Formerly of Richmond, Virginia Deshaun Morman has become a high profile basketball recruit in the Washington D.C. area recently.

Offered by Antwon Jackson at UMass, Morman's recruitment followed to Cincinnati upon Jackson's hiring in June. The Bearcats are still interested in adding the 3-star shooting guard to the mix.

Friday Coach Cronin watched Deshuan Morman July 12th at the adidas Invitational. Walker loves teams like VCU, Murray State, UNLV, Virginia, and now Cincinnati.

He has not worked to whittle his list at all. Cincinnati should be able to get Morman on campus within two months.

Deshaun Morman one of Fav guards in country to watch. Relentless! Not many 2013 guards that attack you like him. Cincy out in front for him....

Has cut his list down to two and the Bearcats have made the list. Per Alex Kline

I'm surprised they're going after a third guard for 2013 but if you can get a good player lets roll with this 4 guard concept as far as it will take us!

With Cronin hot on players like Josh Hart, Chris Perry, Joel Embid, Junior Etou, Jermaine Lawrence (although I don't expect him to sign with the Cats), and now Deshaun Morman, what happens if he signs 3 or 4 of these guys? Do we cut players or offer walk-on positions? If so, I have a few assumptions as to who would get the ax, so to speak, although I don't want to cross that bridge until we come to it.

I love Morman's highlight tape. He seems to play like Dion Dixon (active hands, with the ability and fearlessness to attack down low), but he has a more consistent shot like Kilpatrick. His ball handling appears to need some tightening up, but I love the fact that he's left handed.

Down to UC and Rutgers. Says he wants to decide in September/October. Wants to visit Rutgers before he decides. He has already visited UC.

An interesting tidbit is he is going to Faith Baptist in Florida next year where he will be teaming up with Demetrius Henry and Fallou Ndoye.

I know that Andrew Force over at Bearcatreport made a comment today that this is shaping up to be the most promising 2013 Hot Board for UC Bball in a long time... definitely are solidly "IN" with a lot of top prospects with two very good players already on board... question is, can Mick and Co. close on two more?
