2016-2017 Season

[AZ BEARCAT]

Without JJ we are a single injury from not having a PG or having to play our PG and two wings all 40 minutes (without an option for foul trouble ).

If you don't think that would be a mess...I'm not sure what is.

unless we get two Jucos for back up

..and then judging them for it and questioning their work ethic. SMH

You should re-read. Didn't question his work ethic, just said he needs to be working hard and getting better. Didn't say he couldn't or wouldn't.

If he really was tweeting about leaving, he needs to go talk to his coach. Cause I'm sure both in that equation aren't very happy.

unless we get two Jucos for back up

That's been a point I have been making. Getting a wing should be our top priority. The speculation on JJ makes it all the more apparent. If one guy twists an ankle and someone else is in foul trouble...suddenly we have a very difficult situation.

We have 5 bigs so we have back up even if they aren't the greatest options. We could also potentially run with one big in the game and 4 perimeter guys essentially giving us 6 options.

Running with 4 perimeter guys would be a lot more effective than running with 3 bigs on the court.

I just asked him and his response:

@justinhub2003 nah man not at all lol (https://twitter.com/round3_/status/724236070632734720?s=17)

Almost like it was a ridiculous question and he was probably talking about a girl or something

It's not like he would say either way though

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Glad we can finally put this to bed! Lol.

Weirdo

I replied to him and it is what it sounds like. It looks like he is on the fence as to whether he is staying or not. I think he should stay. With conditioning and a improved shot he could be a poor man Steve Logan. He shows so much potential as a distributor we just haven't put him in a position to use his skills

I would love to know why he told this person one thing and someone else something entirely different??

Link??

Only Bearcattalk can create such drama and misinformation.

Good work, gents.


In all seriousness, with broome coming in i'm surprise the whole team isn't ready to transfer out. Guy could see minutes at all 5 spots. #superballa

Your posts are always extremely informative and equally as insightful. You are a valuable poster, keep up the good work!

Good for Troy if this is current. He got invited to Steph Curry's select camp.

I think his status as a player and our affiliation with Under Armor got him an invite. Let's hope he gets some pointers on his shot and his handles

 

[Bearcat513]

Will be working with high school kids. Maybe he can do some recruiting.

22. Cincinnati Bearcats
There are teams whose characteristics carry over, regardless of personnel, year after year. Cincinnati is one of those teams. Mick Cronin's groups always rebound, defend and play with a punishing physical edge. The last time Cincy finished outside the top 25 in adjusted defensive efficiency was 2009-10. Offensive execution is a different story. Which is why having finishers like Troy Caupain and Gary Clark on the rolls is so important; the other stuff will take care of itself.

Couldn't agree more. Get it done. We have too veteran of a core group to freak out and think we're hot sh*t bc we get in a Top 25 poll.

I agree but it always seems to be an issue/excuse. I hope its different.

I agree but it always seems to be an issue/excuse. I hope its different.

The only legitimate "excuse" to fall out of the Top 25 this year would be an injury to Troy, Gary or Evans. You only need a rotation of 7 or 8 players to win a lot of games. This team has that. You need a good PG, wing scorer, and inside presence to win. This team has that. In my opinion, only injuries could derail that. A lot of that is luck. I would like to be deeper this year but that isn't a reason for this team to not consistently be in the Top 25 and earn a top 6 seed in the NCAA Tourney.

New Bracketology has us as an 8 seed playing Kentucky if we advance to the 2nd round. Sigh.
