Uhhhh, where'd my post go? Was that really too personal towards NTS? I just wanted an explanation why he believed that, to which it appears he responded to without any issue. Now the thread just looks silly.

Jacob, if you'd like, DM me as to why you deleted that, because I think that was a little soft, to be completely honest.

I didn't delete it...

Edit-ohhhh I think I know what happened. I moved my response to this thread so it wouldn't derail the Culver thread. Sorry.

At one time, Mick said he wants his assistants to be coaches first then recruiters (I'll try to find the article or link). If that's his philosophy, the results we're getting shouldn't be a surprise.

This! it is all about the Jimmy and Joe's (at least mostly), not the X's and O's. I know all about St. Johns,and Memphis, and I appreciate Mick's bench coaching. But we need the talent. That is the most important thing to get to the next and higher levels
 
We need a coach with ohio connections. Like a Kerry coombs type recruiting. Been saying this past two yrs. Its time to leave NY/NJ area for a while unless its a G. We need hit Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Ky and Michigan for talent.
 
I don't really care where a recruit comes from, but I do agree that it is easier to convince a more local kid to play close to home than it is to pick players out of other markets. We used to recruit Indiana pretty well and now that has dried up. I'm kind of agreeing with the philosophy of recruiting local, especially when your rounding out your roster. We have two scholarships available. I'm pretty certain based on track record will will hold one for the coveted 2016 class and come next April we will hold one for the all important 2017 class and so on and so on. If you find a Gary Clark in North Carolina or a Troy Caupain in Virginia or a Sean Kilpatrick in New York and they are "Bearcat type players" that fit your system then by all means go after them. At the same time there are players of that caliber here in Ohio and the midwest so go after them as well. But when you're filling your roster with projects and role players you can find those anywhere. Recruit our backyard and it will help generate new fans and excitement. There are competent, fundamentally sound players that would jump at the chance to play for UC within 100 mile radius of here. Go watch the MAC. They turn out some pretty good players and even land guys in the NBA and those guys are right here in the midwest and more than likely landed in the MAC because the top programs didn't want them. Say what you will about where Cincinnati stands in the grand scheme of college basketball but even the most pessimistic person will acknowledge we are higher than any MAC school.
 
The NBA top 100 camp is in a few days. I believe last year that is when the staff really locked in on Jacob Evans. As we get into July we'll get a better idea of who they are serious about and visits will likely be made then. My guess would to keep an eye on Team Loaded out of VA since we are recruiting practically that whole team. Also I'm curious to see the mutual interest between Charlotte Ace Alston Davis who from what has been said like the perfect Bearcat. Will be an interesting few weeks, a lot of new names will likely pop up too.
 
Currently, 6-foot-5 tough guy wing Deshawn Corprew sits just outside of the 2016 Rivals150. However, he's making a serious case for inclusion when it gets updated before July's live periods. He's always been able to attack in transition, rebound and defend but he's sporting a much-improved jumper and says he's been working hard to upgrade that area of his game. Corprew said that he took an unofficial visit to Arkansas-Little Rock and mentioned that he recently shortened his list to Florida State, Cincinnati, Kansas State and Texas.

Sounds like a prototypical Bearcat. Here's some video. Looks like he has a good frame.

Our staff must have spring/summer homes in Virginia. Aside from Cumberland, it seems like every other guy in the 2016 class is from Virginia.
 
DeShaun Corprew is a flat out scorer. He has great size, good handles and vision. His first step is outstanding. If you watch the video below, you'll notice his lift and athleticism. He has improved his shot but he excels in transition. I'd love to see this kid in a UC uniform.

My guess is they will begin to do that following the July evaluation period. Things will move quickly in August. Think back to last fall and we saw the saw thing.
