'18 MD F LaQuill Hardnett (Commit)

Not in a Power 5

Okay! Now we know what the problem is--not in a Power 5 Conference. Why not? Where does the problem lie? Facilities, sports, or lack thereof, that are offered, lack of fan following, money in the bank, leadership, the city of Cincinnati, no power player stepping up, football went into the tank--football drives everything.
Is it a dead issue?

I blame Tubberville.

What do you say to a kid that says he'd rather play in the BE or Big 12?

How do you feel about playing in the NCAA tournament every year?

You would think that would be an easy selling point.

What have I done...

Anthony Higgs back in play with Kennedy stepping down?

Crossed my mind also... Someone posted on twitter he's opening up his commitment and he had a UC visit on the schedule before he committed to Ole Miss. I guess we will see on the 18th.

He signed his loi. Up to school if they let him out of it or not. Think he would be a great fit here. We see what happens.

Cincinnati in for 2018 LaQuill Hardnett of Perry Hall tonight for the team’s matchup with Milford Mill, per source.

^From Feb 12. Explains why Cronin wasn't at the radio show (knew he was recruiting just didn't know who).

Not sure if this was posted. Can't imagine this kid wouldn't jump at the chance to come to UC. Needs to get stronger...no problem. We can do that.

 

[GarradJ21]

Yeah he's going to be a Bearcat Obviously with his offers .

I think he would be a nice addition. I feel with our bigs graduating and not much being said about landing a big to this point I feel we may be going with a 4 guard line up next year. He game fits that scenario. Now if we end up with a grad transfer that can play the 5 and score that would be nice as well.

We don't need a 5.

I also treat Diarra like a member of the 2018 class. And with a year spent with the team as a bonus.

I don't think we are in as bad of shape there as everyone else does. Would still like to add depth if possible though. So if Hardnett fits that, I'll gladly take him.

I don't think we are in bad shape either. That said what I really like about this years team is we are well rounded offensively. Makes us tough to defend. You think you shut down our inside game and Kyle and Gary step out and knock down a 3. Our FT attempts are up so we are getting to the bucket a bit better and we pressure the defense by running the ball up the floor instead of walking it up. They have to defend us for the whole 30 second shot clock which plays to our depth.

as our roster stands now we won't have that option with Kyle and Gary gone of our bigs having to be guarded out to the 3 point line.

Easy choice.

Can never have too many wing guys like this.

So if Evans stays (he should), we'd have 1 scholarship for the spring?

My opinion is if this guy signs and out only other offers are to guards and combo guards, we will be playing 4 out 1 in offense next year.
