Cincy Basketball??

[rollskies]

I like to pay as little attention to the Am***can A***etic Conf***nce as possible. But what the hell is going on with John Brannen in Cincy??

They have nine (9) available scholarships for next year and ZERO commits, with 3-4 players enter the transfer portal today and most likely more to come. They must really not like the guy. I don’t know how they are going to fill an entire roster by next year.

Cumberland didn't like playing for him either

Where’s @kobe ?

 

[HuskyBoi]

Jarron Cumberland, this you?

 

[Waquoit]

Doing better than Mick was going to be a piece of cake, they said.

I remember this one. This is one of my favorite sequences of basketball i’ve seen.

If recruits talk to current players and they're disgruntled, they'll hear it.

aac is gonna be a glorified JUCO conference going forward. underrated players will commit and then transfer to a p6 program after a year or two thanks to the 1 time redshirt waiver rule. hope to benefit from that for years to come.

4th transfer of the day:

I don’t feel bad for any of the schools in the conference, but at the same time I look at every school and just know they would be a better fit somewhere else.

I wonder if any of them are going to make like UConn and get out, or if they are just going to be complacent there until the conference eventually dismantles.

That said, some of their fans legitimately think that UConn leaving made the conference stronger, so yeah no feelings of empathy from me.

Holy $#!?. That’s now ten (10) available scholarships for next year and zero commits.

Edit: I read somewhere it was 10 but now i’m seeing it’s 7, so I don’t know which one is correct. But either way.

 

[phillionaire]

I remember things only getting better for us after a bunch of players transferred out. Good times ahead for cincy!

 

[metsfan2323]

With everyone in the country getting a redshirt there will be a scholarship squeeze so finding players won't be difficult.

Stronger in their delusion, ya

but where would they go? cusa? the a10? none are getting p5 invites that's exactly why we finally bit the bullet and joined the BE. and they arent welcome here either!

Just sayin....this is 1 million times worse than the Roscoe Smith heave.

cumberland should be one of the most hated players in cinci history after that. (Can’t forget Jalen Adams of course)

How would that work? Would all the players just go to the P6 programs? Would UConn end up with 25 players?

Ideally,

I think Houston would want to be in the Big 12 and Memphis in the SEC, but you’re right, I don’t think either would get invites. I also like Temple to the A10, but would be a problem with football and the A10 is pretty crowded already. Wichita was a better fit in the MVC. UCF has a good enough football program to (maybe) get some p5 interest, but unlikely.

You are 100% correct. There isn’t really anywhere for these schools to go. It seems like they are stuck. I just think on paper they would fit better elsewhere.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Where’s @kobe ?

Working out at the Y. He's got a good shot to make the team next year!

i'm not sure i understand the question. it would work like it always has with transfer players. they take up a scholly but going forward they wont have to redshirt after their first transfer thereby leaving no downside to transferring. the 13 scholly limit applies again starting in the 22-23 season. only returning seniors dont count against the limit for the 21-22 season.

 

[XLCenterFan]

They lost to Houston by 37 in the AAC championship. How is that even possible? I had them getting 14 - thought that was too many.

Only 3-4 Cinci players in the transfer portal? Purportedly, the Bearcats are trailing behind their feline cousins at Penn State with at least 5 portal players.

Report: Multiple Penn State men's basketball players enter NCAA Transfer Portal

More Penn State players entered the NCAA Transfer Portal Tuesday morning.
