Babies because they missed a meaningless summer league game? Hell, the coaching staff would love it if they missed them all.
Oh, you can't drive over and take them.

JJ called it again. No excuses. They were sore and can't hang. Lyle Jones would be very disappointed in the way our freshman represented the C today. Oh wait, they didn't at all.

HAHA 4 hours early to a summer league game the first week on campus while they are in summer school. Now you guys are just reaching.

It is just immaturity. Excuses are like assholes, everyone has one. Stuff like separates players who actually care about the sport and the ones who just play to groom their egos......
Would have actually been closer to 5 hours considering they fell behind schedule a bit.
Separates those who care about the sport? Again, it is a summer league game.

Again you have no idea why they didnt show up. You are just making blind assumptions. You dont think these kids care? All they tweet is that they are in the gym or weight room. The hard work they put in in HS got them a D1 scholarship. Have a little bit better perspective.

Cheikh is just one example. KJ knows plenty of people in Cincy. I bet that at least 2 of these guys have cars on campus, so transportation isn't a valid excuse.

You bet? So you dont know. Again blind assumption.

Strickland is also complaining how he needs to rest up because he is sore. Before it was Lawrence. Pretty sad when a bunch of 18-19 year old's can't hang and show commitment. Can't wait til our strength coach and Cronin rip them a new a$$hole this year in practices.

It's not an overreaction when you gave up your time to go watch them play and they don't bother showing up. I work 60 hours a week, Sunday is my only day where I don't have to work. Sunday afternoons are my time. I chose to give my time to go watch these guys play, same as I choose to give my money and time to support the school and Bearcat athletics in general. And they don't bother showing up. If it's an excuse of a ride that is complete bullshit. The team has followers and are royalty on campus. If they don't know people yet, which is probably a reasonable assumption the veterans have friends and girls and followers that would gladly bring these guys the five mile ride up to Woodward. The summer league has gone on for years and years and this has never been an issue. All of a sudden in one day we're supposed to believe that ten Bearcats or so who are choosing to be in this league can't find a ride? In my opinion these guys made a decision as a whole they weren't going to play today and the ride is their excuse because they're probably catching flack for it.

Boo-hoo, they get a full ride at a great university. I study my ass off, get a 4.0 GPA, 8th in my class, work hard on bringing my test scores up, and only can get 2,000 off at UC. I have no sympathy for them, unless they are sick or are going out of town and tell people in advance.

Jamaree Strickland @JDot0 18h
my body has been on 0 lately.. i need to rest up.

Smh body sore af
Sh!t is weak. No respect for that. All they do is play ball, they should be able to play a pick up game. They have been doing that their whole lives. What they pulled today shows a lot about their character and the lack of respect they have for UC.

I was there today. I wish I had seen them, but I am not sweating the fact that they didn't show up. Even if they just didn't want to play today, oh well.

I could care less if they play in the summer league or not. People need to get a grip and stop overreacting. It is more important for them to be in weight room and in class than it is to be playing in this league. Yes, it's fun for fans to get to see them but its really not a big deal. Lighten up guys.
Tweets like this come from the freshman players every year. Playing open gym with the veteran guys always gets reactions like this.

It's not an assumption, Jack, it's called the 21st century, more people have cars than people who don't have cars. Lawrence tweeted about how he was driving up here. KJ went to Summit, unless he was on their diversity scholarship plan to bring in better athletes (aka cheating), Im sure his family could afford a car. If he can't afford a car, he shouldn't be going to a $20,000/year school.....
