Agreed. I don't think we're looking for someone to give us what Shaq did.

The idea is for Scott to become more than what shaq became while also adding length to the lineup. But I get it guys, I will leave it alone lol.

Great size, good passer and he didn't look too bad on defense. We'll see. He's definitely going to contribute this season off the bench, just not sure how much he'll produce offensively. He'll be our high energy, defensive presence that's going to hopefully frustrate the other team when he's in the game. His main role this season will be backing up Clark. If a wing gets hurt, MAYBE he would play more at the 3 because of his length and quickness. His game is not quite there this season yet IMO. I do see him being a mismatch forward. Too quick for bigger guys and too big for wings to guard. If he can perfect an outside game he'll be special.
Let's start the season already! Dying for some college basketball...

I know really! I was dying for us to make it to the big12. I live in Austin tx currently and I would have loved to watch us play in person again. I went to UC during the Logan years

The one thing that could hinder Scott's minutes the most is being foul prone. Early on many players have to adjust to the college game and how the games are being called. With him having a high motor and the hand checking fouls, he may have an adjustment period.
I watched 3 games of Scott's senior season' he made multiple 3's in each game. The only bad thing I noticed was he tended to be out of control on drives to the basket. As far as Shaq comparisons - remember Scott was a wide-out on his football team( he won't shy away from contact)

Yea he will come in for both KJ and Evans. Evans will more than likely play 33-35 mpg
KJ more like 25mpg. So just subbing both those guys nets him 20+.. Cumberland getting minutes no matter what this year, his defense could be whack and he still gets lots of minutes. Just no depth on the wing

Can't wait for the season to start. Coach has put a very nice group together this year. Should have multiple guys on the floor who can score in a variety of ways. This will make defending us much more difficult. Really think we will crack the top 50 in offensive efficiency this year. Clark, Evans and TC should all be able to score in Double digits and do it in multiple ways. If we continue to guard with our improvement offensively we should have a very nice season.

CBS Sports top 101 players rankings: http://www.cbssports.com/college-ba...d-one-college-basketball-players-for-2016-17/
69. Gary Clark
One of two returning double-digit scorers for Cincinnati, the 6-8 forward averaged 10.4 points and 8.8 rebounds last season while shooting 51.9 percent. He should be a double-digit rebounder this season en route to helping Mick Cronin make a seventh straight NCAA Tournament. -- GP
72. Troy Caupain
You see we've got two Cincy players so close together. It was a really close call. Caupain: not a true point guard, yet led his team in assist rate. He doesn't foul, is a steady defender, a total leader. Might average 15/5/5 this season. -- MN

Jake I think the list did not include our best player. Evans.

Was wondering when they were going to announce that. That's good. We will have to see how it goes.

I think your right! He has a very well rounded game. Good to very good defender, hits outside shot, makes FT's, has good handles and understands the game. I think you'll see him attack the rim a bit more this year. Its my opinion his upside is higher then SK's. I'm not saying he will take over games they way SK needed to but I think from a all around talent stand point he is more talented. Especially at this stage of his career.
