2021-22 Roster

The only time we’ve seen anything like this, it was Gregg Marshall, and he was physically assaulting players. You have to wonder what’s going on.

Na man, they all love him. He’s a nice guy, he brought them dinner one night to their dorm rooms.

Jesus.

This program is a shit show.

Why would anyone stay at this point ? Clearly Brannen is an awful relationship builder.

I’d be fine with getting rid of him at this point. I’m guessing most of team will leave at this point.

Good talk

This is just a complete shocker. I found it so strange we were talking to PG transfers so it looks like Brannen knew.


I just don't see how this makes any sense. He was one of the core we couldn't lose. Now its hard to see them all not leaving.


This completely sucks.

There is definitely some issues.... At this point you wonder who stays?

 

[cincyalum2014]

Mike Saunders enters transfer portal.... Okay now I am officially concerned because the departures aren't over yet.

 

[justinhub2003]

Here are thinking Mikey and JD and all these guys are super bought in. Instead they are just auditioning for better team not in cincinnati.

There is a lot of smoke that Brannen is a lot different in the locker room than he is in public. We've heard hints of it quite a bit. That he acts one way when recruiting and another way once the guy is actually here.

Mikey's mom made a twitter post that she was "glad the cameras caught that" when Brannen walked off the court early, again hinting that there is behind the scenes stuff.

To me it's clear that Brannen's public personality and locker room persona do not match up. Huggins and Cronin were tough on guys, but they made it clear that's how they coach and recruits knew what they were going into. Brannen seems to make recruits think they will be getting one coaching style and then giving them a different one when they get to school.

Also, Mikey was Eason's roommate. I wouldn't be surprised to see us down to DDJ and maybe one or two other guys.

Cumberland, Diarra, Rap, Harvey, Gabe, Mikey. The smoke that Brannen is a locker room cancer is turning into a fire. It's time for Brannen to go.

 

[cincyguy13]

I’d put Eason leaving at 100% at this point

 

[cincyalum2014]

What does everyone think the odds are Tari leaves? Id say 60%... JD is a Cincy kid, i would find it hard for him to leave? I hope … The transfer "portal" is literally terrible.... It gives a lot of false hope to kids who think they are better than they are and they try and leave and don't get the offers they thought they'd get and cant come back because they have already been replaced. I agree you should get one free transfer but the portal makes roster turnover for every team unbearable

Eason is gone, he’s going to leave

 

[justinhub2003]

Question now is: who in their right mind wants to play for John Brannen ? Like we have to hope that the guys in the transfer don’t have access to the internet. Because who the hell would want to play for John Brannen.

Fans raised money to give Miller the boot. Should we start a year long campaign to buy John out after next year.



Here is the crazy thing.... John was singing mikey praises. John must have been caught flat footed on this one.

To note on this UT Tennessee only has 3 active players right now, literally 10 players have entered the portal from that team. I know they aren't a basketball power or anything but imagine trying to coach with that much roster turnover.

There has to be something behind the scenes going on with JB, he seems like a decent guy in public and post games. He must be terrible in the locker room and in practice.

 

[sedziobs]

Thats not the only time. Penn State just lost 4 starters.

3 of the top 19 players by PRPG are from Penn St.

Lots of teams have multiple good (2+ PRPG / top 50) players in the portal now. Penn St, Pitt, St Johns, Charleston, Samford, Tennessee Martin, Tennessee St, Green Bay, Fairleigh Dickinson. This is insane.

Something going on. Brannen had known Saunders for 10 years. It’s not a portal thing

The rumors are he acts one way in public and the recruiting trail and another way in practice and the locker room. With how things are going, have to believe those rumors are true.

Can we make the campaign month long and get him out now? He has no recruits coming in and has his whole team leaving. What recruit is going to want to come into the situation of a coach who is on the hot seat and seems to be a locker room cancer?

 

[justinhub2003]

Pressure is going to really mount when season ticket holders bail.


I’d take Archie in a heartbeat. He knows the area. Wins at this level and plays an exciting style,

 

[cincrulz11]

Welp, in hindsight I guess it did speak to Brannen's character that Chris Mack was his best friend.
