You forgot Ellis. I think Mick looks for a JuCo big and then either pockets the last scholarship or picks up a guy late maybe after a coaching change somewhere.

I also didn't include Ellis. It may be that MC is going to take the best player he can get at this date.

Obekpa is not out of the equation. UC is looking at a couple juco bigs as well. I think there are several combinations possible but the play of Parker and Killa could push the need for a wing to '13 if the right fit isn't found.

Priority is two bigs. If they could land a stud wing, I'm sure they would take him.

Have exchanged some emails and have been told that the Bearcats chances are very good with Rubles. Have also been told he has put on some weight over the past year and is realistically in the 215-220 range. The guy told me Titus would fit UC's style of play and that he still hasn't hit his ceiling as a player. This is potentially a very good signing for the Bearcats.

With his defensive skills and the way he likes to attack the rim, he will fit in very nicely if he becomes a Bearcat.

I can say after doing some research and talking to some insiders of mine I would say as of now that Rubles seems to be a "lock". I did say Eric Bledsoe was a lock a few years back and he was until Calipari came in hard after him but I don't see that happening this time.

Side Note: This may not be the only surprise Cronin will be giving us before signing day. Hearing a top notch recruit is considering re-opening his recruitment specifically trying to become a bearcat.

Can you be specific? Even in a PM? I do not want to c ompromise your source/info, but I feel like it has been eternity since any recruiting info has flowed.
