Kids put schools in there top 8 all the time that they have zero intentions on going to.

I mean a lot of these top 8’s are really just 2-3 schools and the others get named as a nod to being on them early, a connection to the coach or whatever.

Seemed funny too that he initially announced it was going to be a top 7 then when it’s released it’s a top 8 with UC the last graphic.

I’m not a fan of kenyons comments after we lost to Nevada. He could never show up around UC and I wouldn’t care.
I’d rather have Kenyon here then most people.

Kenyon is a bit of a loose cannon but he is loyal to the guy who coached him and helped him make a ton of money. Really not hard to understand.

I bet Cronin would rather have Kenyon around than Curtis Bostic

Cool story...when I was in college I remember Bostic, T-rat, and NVE showing up to one of our keggers. Bostic was going out with one of our friends at the time. I doubt they were drinking but it was cool for us at the time to have them at our party. Bostic was probably a frosh at the time.

Bostic was a system guy but he was an absolute beast in terms of athleticism. I remember he was able to do a double dunk with a ball in each hand. He could jump out the roof!! We loved Bostic at the time because we had an inside link to him. He couldn't throw the ball in the ocean from the beach...but that didn't matter to Huggins and I doubt it would matter to Cronin.

He was Tre Scott, Titus Rubles, Justin Jackson (pre senior year), etc. He could switch on anyone but had troubles scoring.

Memphis would be more, in our face. If that would come down to his final two choices, rather him choose Huggins.

I’m probably reading into this too much but he seems to trying to make UC look bad.

Why pin a tweet that says he was offered by UC when most people think mick didn’t even offer him? It’s like he is putting us in a running we didn’t even ask to be in, against teams that either recently beat us (Nevada) or our rival, Memphis or against Huggins. Only for us to lose a recruitment publically that we had no interested in winning. Kenyon Martin is petty immature dude, hopefully I’m just reading too much into it and his son isn’t the same as him

This past year has made me realize a lot about Kenyon and how he feels about UC and Cronin, but I do think you may be reading into this a little bit too much. I believe he just thinks it sounds cool and to picture it is cool to follow his dad's footsteps by showing him in a Cincy jersey more so than worrying about making us mad.

Him saying he has an offer though is strange to me. I mean I don't doubt it though that if he was truly dying to come to UC he could get an offer.

Im sure he could, if he really really wanted to to come to UC. And maybe Mick told him that he isn't coming to see him nor is he actively recruiting him but that if he did want to choose Cincinnati, we'd take him. Maybe Mick wants it to be completely his choice. I have no idea the dynamics of this whole thing.

I read on Reddit too that West Virginia hasn't even offered this kid either and Huggins is also not recruiting him. Just some weird stuff going on with this kids recruitment.
