I feel like we are all getting antsy for the season to start and keep finding everything to point out. Some negative some positive but lets just focus on the positive for right now. Forget about last season and forget about if you like or dislike Cronin.
We have a strong starting 5. This might be the best starting 5 in the last 10 years. Yancy and Dixon's SR. year can be the only starting 5 that you can argue that's better.
Weaker AAC. Yeah, that makes it less exciting. But if we really can get through the conference only losing 2-4 games that's pretty good no matter how you look at it. It's very doable. Not only with our talent but also because the lesser talent in the AAC this year.
We have some great non-conference games. Michigan game is a bummer but we are playing ISU, Rohde Island, (hopefully Duke), Xavier, and Butler. Some chance for some quality wins. Really need to win the RI game to have a chance against Duke.
Caupin - invited to Steph Currys camp. Read tweets from random bloggers how impressed they are with Caupain. A 3 year starter that hopefully knows that this is it for him at UC and wants to go out with a bang. Coming off one of his best games ever and could possibly be one of the best performances by a UC player during the UCONN game.
Clark/Evans - One year older one year wiser. Another year under their belts and could be possible NBA players. Gary's shooting range has expanded a ton, and Evans just showed us during the St. Joes game that we do have another superstar in the making at UC.
Washington - All positives here. Gives us much more than Ellis did. Never have seen someone make so many costly mistakes as Ellis did. Washington is a proud Bearcat wants to win and goes 100% everyday. He will give us his all and is extremely talented.
Cumberland - One of our biggest recruits we have had in the last 10 years right from our own backyard. Big 6-5 frame that can score.
As a bonus, the red uniforms should be back this year!
