The thing these players have to remember is they are college basketball players for the University of Cincinnati you can have any chick you want
 
I'd like to know what our team captains think. They could have very valuable input on where they see the team going from here.

I trust Coach Cronin will make the right decision regarding any of this.

It doesn't sound like a dismissed from the team thing to me personally, unless there were weapons involved or he gets convicted of a felony.
 
Any dude that gets beat up and calls the cops it’s just.... I dunno, not cool to me.

Take an ass beating and move on

Unless I'm missing something we have no idea how bad the fight was. It could be a simple scuffle or he could have broken his jaw and the kid is eating with a straw for the next 6 months. You really wouldn't call the cops if someone came into your house, beat the shit out of you and broke your jaw/nose/eye socket whatever? I'm calling bullshit on that.

I’m from a poor rough town. While I personally escaped poverty and live a nice middle class life with a family, I still carry a few things with me, and one of them is not calling the cops unless it’s a situation I absolutely needed to. If someone did this to me, I’d just get revenge with help from a few friends.

I know my outlook isn’t typical, just dunno how sending one to jail helps me feel better. And in this case, if I was shagging the GF of a 6’5 beast, I’d have known what I was signing up for.

To be fair, a Lot of times the guys don’t know and if someone comes and beat you up for something you didn’t even know you might call the cops. Who knows

Why is that a badass? Im 5'11 170 and not a bad ass at all and will avoid a fight any time i can. But I don't call the cops and Im not scared to lose a physical altercation, unless I beaten to near death, I just pack up my ego and deal with it.

Thats all I'm saying, I personally don't understand another man calling the cops because of a fist fight. Its just a waste of police and court resource IMO

sounds like the best scenario for all of us would have been cumberland whooping your ass.
 
From Deepthroat: Altercation between Cumberland and GF and some other dude. No one was beaten badly, if at all. A lot of smoke being blown. May be slapped on wrist for cupcake games. Big if true.

Haha.

Bright side is that this seems over and will never reach the media nor the court system. Valuable lesson for him.

It’s funny though bc I knew it was him before details came out. Outside of the new guys, I had a ton of confidence it wasn’t one of our other starters. Between ordering the iPhone X at 3 am and this incident, I didn’t sleep a ton last night.
Being this basketball obsessed May not be healthy for me

We are considered a "Dark Horse" this year as they rank 16 teams that could possibly when the National Championship.

https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/putting-the-16-teams-that-have-a-realistic-shot-at-the-ncaa-tournament-title-into-tiers/amp/

Breakdown: Cincinnati won't have five players on our annual Top 100 (and one) Players list, but by year's end it might well have a case for it. I do, truly, try not to get too far ahead of myself in the preseason. I try not to build up programs too much. But every year we get a nice influx of schools that are expected to make a jump and then do. Cincinnati was already pretty good last season. And it's one of the really good all-time programs (I explained why last season.) Yet this team should be right there with Wichita State at the top of the AAC. It can be a top-10 team. It can be one of the five best teams in Bearcats history because Mick Cronin has never had this much offensive firepower and this many reliable two-way players. Cane Broom is a transfer out of Sacred Heart who dominated the NEC, but almost no one has heard of him. He's going to step on the floor with Jacob Evans, Gary Clark, Kyle Washington and Jarron Cumberland -- and Cincy is going to be as entertaining as it has looked since the peak Bob Huggins years.

I feel like there are about 4 teams that would be really tough to beat on a neutral court. I think we fall in that next tier of teams from about #5 to #15. WSU is ranked as high as #5 and I think we belong in that discussion if they do. They bring back everyone but I think we are adding by subtraction potentially in 2 different positions. We are possibly adding our two best play makers to the starting lineup...a lineup that was already very solid to begin with. I don't mind starting out lower in rankings though because there were some questions that needed to be answered.

I don't like to make too much of a scrimmage but Cane looked very comfortable and confident out there. He did exactly what we were hoping for...score some points and drop a bunch of dimes. It could not have went much better really.

Our bench looks much more capable than I was planning for as well. I was a little worried we might have to play our starters 30-35-38 minutes in some games but I don't feel that way now. This team should be able to run and press while we sub for breathers without losing a lot. We can play just about any style we want.

I agree. Our bench is the best it has been in years. You could make an argument that we will be bringing off the bench 3 players that would start on a majority of our opponents in the AAC in Jenifer, Brooks, and Scott.
