Also, I forgot to mention, I am really hoping for at least a 10 pounds heavier Shaq Thomas to show up. He needs to work on filling in his frame....

I'm more concerned with strength than weight. I think his girth means less in the new league, but strength matters no matter where you play. He has to be able to finish and hit free throws.
 
I wish our players would go to professional skill camps or something like that. I agree the DSL is fun for fans to see players up close but its such a waste and a risk for injury. Our players gain nothing from this league.

I mostly agree, but I wouldn't worry about injury too much. They could get hurt falling out of bed or at a skills camp, for that matter. Skills camps would be nice, but it shouldn't matter as much now with the increase of allowed summer workouts by the NCAA. Repetition is the best way to get better for most of our guys. While the DSL is just for fun and players don't really gain from it, it is repetition and it is better than ordering pizza and playing Xbox all summer. Plus, as you said, it is a fun way for fans to see these guys an their athleticism up close. Shaq Thomas had a dunk at the game I went to last year that almost caused me to drop my drink. He was on the receiving end of a lob that looked like it would sail over his head, until one hand came out of nowhere and just slammed it home. Very impressive to see and it gives you a sneak peak of incoming players....
 
Rosters have been partially released, here are the current Bearcats playing so far:
Clovernook: JD3 and JJ
Cincysportsworld.com: Guyn
Jackson All-Stars: Rubles and Sanders
Mansoor Law Office: David Nyarsuk and Shaq Thomas
Slats: Lawrence, Strickland, Morman, KJ, and Caupain

All I can say is that I will definitely have to go see SLATS, it is nice they put everyone in this class together....

I doubt SK will play, considering he has the World University Hames, but he might make a few games if he has time.

Wow, going to have to make sure I get to a Slats. That should be a lot of fun to watch.

SK usually plays in a summer league in New York and they are only allowed to play in one summer league. So don't expect SK to play in deveroes.

Wonder who the returning guys for the slats will be. I think they are still allowed two.

No on else is left, minus SK, everyone on scholarship this upcoming year has been assigned a team already. My guess is that a few former Bearcats (John Willamson, Cash, Cheikh, etc.) would help fill out SLATS, along with a few smaller college/local products.....
 
Lawrence and possibly others are not in Cincy yet, so I wouldn't be in a hurry to go see Slats yet. I imagine we will hear something when Lawrence starts playing for them.

Doesn't start for a few more days, I bet he will be in relatively soon....,,

Lawrence was asked via twitter if he will play this weekend and he said nope, won't be in Cincy. I don't believe any of the recruits will be on town since summer session doesn't start for another week or so I think. Kevin Johnson may play since he is local but I would bet that is it.
 
Caupain said on twitter he gets out the 24th. KJ, of course, can play. Strickland is here. Lawrence looks to be coming soon. Morman is here, so we have almost everybody....

That's the date I really want to go! See our "Fab Five" recruits play Shaq and Big Dave! Really excited for it.

Also has anyone heard if Cash and other older UC players are on a team? I heard somewhere there maybe older UC players would be on a team and I wanted to know if anyone knew if there were any or not. If so, do you know what team(s) they are on?
