Former Bearcats

[waterhead]

Samari's Nebraska team struggled last night and lost by 19 to UC Riverside. He only played about 10 minutes with 1 assist. ( I know he's technically not a former bearcat) But I think some will be interested to see how his college career goes.

I was looking at his results in the exhibition. He was 4 of 5 for 12 points and went 3 of 4 from deep. 5 rebounds, 3 turnovers and 3 steals. No assists in 21 minutes. Other than assists and turnovers that's a pretty good start.

yea, but that exhibition wasnt against such a powerhouse like UC Riverside

Quill made his debut for Buffalo last night playing 12 minutes off the bench in a 68-63 loss to Dartmouth. He had 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 fouls, and missed his only shot of the night to go scoreless.

Let’s not downplay samari Curtis, when our coach had a top 50 recruit that he brought in to the OSU game for just 2 minutes.

I thought we should have given Harvey more playing time if he is as good as we think.

People always said that mick never trusted his freshman but mick played Logan Johnson 10 minutes against OSU. This year MAW didn’t come in at all, Harvey played 2 and Davenport 4... 6 combined from your freshman isn’t exactly trusting them especially when one is rated around the same spot Jarron Cumberland was ranked.

He’s a wing, we have 3 elite wings, how much time do you want him to get?

3 elite wings ?


He’s a top 50 recruit on a team who lacks proven depth. If he only plays 2 mins, I can’t see how it helps develop him for next year season.

Where was he ranked a top 50 recruit? On 247 he finished as #191.

Are we talking about Harvey?

I’m referring to Harvey and he is like top 50 recruit

It’s one game...

He’s not better than jc kw and jaevin I’m not sure what you want, you clearly are just finding things to complain about that brannen does and find negatives, we lost to OSU by 8 2 years in a row one was at home one was away, I get your mad about mick leaving, but you have to give brannen a chance

 

[mdchick]

Nebraska 0-2 lost to UC riverside(or something like that) and southern Utah
Miami 1-1 lost to a good Louisville team/ brooks is not eligible this year
Buffalo 0-1
St Mary’s 1-0 beat Wisconsin and lojo had a big role

UCLA 1-0 beat Long Beach by 4 at home

I’m not mad that mick left or the John Brannen is our new coach.

But there are UC fans who made the last few years miserable after every loss. People acted like the Mick Cronin era was this oppressive regime and that John Brannen is this beautiful breath of fresh air. It’s not hard to see I liked Mick Cronin, but it was also clear a huge portion of the fan base thought we could do better. And a lot of them think a John Brannen is the guy. So my expectations are high. If this guy is better then our old Coach then I’m all for it. I want to win. But I also don’t want to see this team take a dip this season. I want to make the tourney, I want to make a run.

So im considering this season a pickup right where we left off kinda deal. I’d critic the game the same way if mick were coaching. You have Keith Williams, Jarron Cumberland, Tre Scott & Jaevin Cumberland in your first year as a UC coach, you have 2 of your guys in the starting lineup and you have a sold out arena to boost you. I expect results this year. So I’m just pointing out things that I see. If Mick Cronin coached this years OSU game, I think it’s fair to say people would have critiqued his handling of Jarron Cumberland, his lack off playing time for elite freshman and his defense in the 2nd half.
I know I’d personally have those same comments no matter who the coach was.


Next year can be the rebuild. This year we need to win. Because if recruits aren’t signing with Brannen because they don’t know him, then next year they won’t sign with us because we had an all American and didn’t win with him. Brannen has to use Jarron Cumberland to win but also make a name for himself.

So you think Harvey should really get minutes over those 3 wings

 

[mdchick]

He’s coming off of a season ending ankle injury and didn’t play basketball for 5 months not to mention he is supposed to be a senior in highschool right now, he’s going to experience some growing pains, he was the 2nd guy off the bench for us after jaevin idk what else to say

No.

He is not supposed to be a senior in high school.

He was always a 2019 recruit. But when he had his issues, he was going to go to Prep school and be a 2020 recruit.

But then there were rumors that his prep school didn’t want him and he went back to his original class. He is every bit of a college Freshman as anyone else

 

[justinhub2003]

My biggest point was that we basically played just 7 guys. Clearly that took a toll on the defense in the 2nd half.

Harvey never saw the floor in the 2nd half.

And McNeal played more minutes then anyone else. He simply cannot do that when he applies the kind of effort he did.

Brannen said it himself he only played 7 guys and wasn’t happy about it

There is no depth at the pg position, that is why McNeal played the most minutes, Adams-woods is a question mark right now still adapting to playing pg

Concerning Cronin not playing elite frosh soon enough had to do with a lack of good options in front and a demonstration of better value by certain frosh. Harvey has not accomplished that yet and he may not considering the quality options in front of him. But if he does eventually outplay even 1 of them he is going to be very very good.
