2016 General Recruiting

[rogerOH]

I think Broome could be a good player, but I think bowman could be a high energy player for us -like a Mel Levitt.

 

[Bearcat513]

Even though we can get both, I'd want Broome more. He has played in college, performed well, and can play with the teams in the AAC. Give him a year to practice with our players, improve his shooting %s, he steps in for Troy and could be a solid PG for 2 years.

 

[culverrd]

Totally agree. Quadri made a couple shots but he gave up more points then he scored, plus he fouled yet another 3 pointer shooter and gave up a 4 point play. How many times has he done that?

He drives me nuts I can't stand watching him play.

 

[culverrd]

We get it. You hate him and think hes worthless. Do you feel the same about Jenifer too?

I think Justin Jennifer has upside to him. He played little to no minutes to be able to get comfortable with the game. He honestly should of red shirt his freshman year. But I have 10th and 11th graders on my AAU team that would bust Quadri Moores @ss in a game of 1 on 1 or running up and down 5 on 5.

If you guys had to chose between bowman and Broome who would you choose.

Bowman and Martin twins would be my pick

Does anyone know if the Martin twins are planning on staying together or go to different schools this time?

Pretty sure the article said they were a package deal

Per Jeff Goodman
Grad Transfer Alert: Anthony Livingston, averaged 15.5, 9.4 boards last season, will transfer, source told ESPN. High majors will be on him.

Plays for Arkansas State not sure if any mutual interest but big lefty thats a force down low.

There sure is shaping up to be a lot of options. I rather have a big guy than a guard along with the twins at this point. We are too thin on the front line. And Broome doesn't impress me that much. The turnover rate is abysmal 3 to 4 and he is not a good three point shooter 31 % in an offense that shoots a lot of threes. I really wouldn't consider him a point guard at this point. And we are set at shooting guard for a couple years. If the twins don't come here and he does then I won't complain.

 

[ZCat]

I go the other way. Give me a guy who has averaged 23 ppg and named player of the year in his conference any day. He can play at this level. It's always a crap shoot with high school kids.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.

Are the Martin twins eligible next year if they come to uc?

Are the Martin twins eligible next year if they come to uc?

I find it highly unlikely since they are sophomores, but I believe their father said there is a chance they could graduate this term. Dont know how, maybe they took college courses in HS, had 20+ credit hours a term and loaded up on summer classes. Who knows.

But I also saw on twitter, from just a UC fan, and never looked it up that they may go to different schools. Again, who knows

Broome has cut his list to UC and Creighton!

You have to think with Bowman going to BC, that tells Broome, the position is his.

 

[#BearcatNation]

I think I'd have preferred Bowman over Broome for obvious reasons (4 years here compared to 2, Bowman can play next year), but Broome would still be a very solid addition. Those Martin twins should be top priority, but I still want another body for next season. All these transfers will have to sit out. I wonder about our depth next year.

 

[UCalum08]

With the high number of transfers, I would like to see us lock down a good P5 ex top 100 player. Ex. Kyle Washington. This coaching staff needs to try and step up on quality.

 

[the_one_32]

I'd be happy with Broome and the Martin Twins even though the front court depth won't be great. Better to sign guys you know have talent and can play at this level than sign a HS or JuCo kid who is a complete crapshoot and may take 2 years to develop anyway. At this point in recruiting there's not a big man out there right now that can help this team next year anyway unless a grad transfer comes in.

I wouldn't be so sure about the Martin twins HAVING to sit out a year. Reports have surfaced their family is pretty confident they will technically be grad transfers.

If they would be grad transfers, would they have 1 yr or 2 left?

 

[the_one_32]

2 years still I believe but that's a really good question.
