Well taking a look around Oakland basketball twitter, they seem to think Jarron's cousin is pretty much guaranteed to commit to the Bearcats.

One thing to note is nku's 2018 team did not shoot the 3 well, 34% as a team and that ranked 219 in the country. But they still were 19th in 2 point %. that shows me that he likely has some really good offensive sets. |

Someone who write about Oakland basketball went as far as to say its more than "expected" to happen.

I still don't think Curtis needs to worry about playing time if he's good enough from the start. I mean he was pretty much capped at 20mpg under Cronin in year 1 which is about where Cumberland, Evans, and Caupain were able to get. I think a different coach would be willing to live with a few more mistakes early and let the players get the feel. |

Will be interesting to see how Brannen handles it? Play 6-7 guys for all the minutes or work in 8-9 rotation so he can still go all out on press for 40 minutes. |

I was pleased with how the press conference went. He's well rehearsed in most of his comments, but that's not such a bad thing. I wasn't unhappy with Cronin in the way some fans were, but it's exciting to start a new chapter and know that we're not rehashing the same old philosophy.
It's really something new to look forward to. Hopefully, the fans turn out to support this coach and the team, as I think good crowds could really help elevate this next season's squad. Should be interesting to see just how much of the defense will utilize that press. I hope there's some chance this summer for players to start to learn his offensive playbook. Not saying he's fully got one set for these kids, just if they can start to learn the floor spacings he likes to employ and their options. I'm sure there is going to be a huge learning curve this season. |

I watched Dan Hoard interview coach Brannen. I thought of Brannen as more of a Northern Kentucky kid, but it sounds like he spent a lot of his time in Saint Bernard. This is getting hometown talent working to build up the program. It's not a mandatory thing, but I like that.
Seems like a total gym rat, in a the best way for a player and coach. I also didn't realize that he played for Billy Donovan in college. So this guy really has worked or played for guys who've had impact in the college basketball world. I wonder if they'll do summer basketball camps for kids? You can never start working to win those fans too young. |
