BearcatB- One "Down Year" and UC is going to the NIT? You are a perfect Example why UC has some of the worst Fans. FAIR WHETHERED FAN. -- NC CAT, 07:53:38 05/17/03 Sat
"Well, it may happen even though we may not be better 3 or 4 in conf.USA.- What a joke. Go jump on somebody else's bandwagon. YOu have been SPOILED. UC doesn't win the conference for the first time in 8 years and now they are the 4th best team in the conference?

"Huggs is gonna go they way of Denny Crum if he don't fix this problem." What Problem? They lost the Conference for the first time in 8 years, they have been to the NCAA's 12 straight years, the 5th Longest in NCAA History. They had won 8 Straight NCAA 1st Round wins until last year.

“But somehow we're stuck chasing scraps, getting players who consider American U and Maine. These are'nt even mid majors” "Just more middle of the road players."
EVERY Recruiting Services has UC Class ranked in the Top 15. James White was a McD's and Top 10 High School Player.
Jamar Butler?

Only things you got right in your whole entire post- were “And everyone who beats out UC are not paying the players.” Twig will be going to OSU.

“Just the facts, just the facts.”- Only fact is what an idiot you are and a joke of a fan.

Why is it that UC is not able to get any high school studs...

For the class of 2003 we were targetting Bass, Shanon Brown, von wafer..we were not able to get any of them...I really dont know why these guys opted for LSU and Florida State...I am just hoping that we get AJ....

We have a much better basketball tradition when compared to those schools...

AJ has NO Leader as of Friday Night -- AJ You would look good in Red & Black, 10:09:21 05/03/03 Sat
Mike Sullivan Spoke with AJ's Coach Friday Night

"I just spoke to Alexander," said Bridgton Academy head coach Whit Lesure. "He is in the process of thinking about where the best school for him is. He has three great schools. They all have something different to offer him. This is what Alexander is trying to figure out. He isn't confused. He is just thinking about where he wants to go and doesn't want to do so until he is sure."On each trip, Johnson expressed praise for the programs involved. "He did enjoy all the visits," Lesure said. "This is what makes it hard. It's like saying do I want to take my vacation in Hawaii, Aruba, or another beautiful destination. Either way, Alexander will be fine no matter where he goes."

It is possible that Johnson will wait until he goes home after graduation to make a decision. Then he would sign his letter and have his parents do the same to make this a binding decision. If so, Johnson then would announce his decision after next weekend. "Alexander doesn't have a leader," Lesure said. "This is what he told me tonight (Friday night)."
Mike Sullivan- Rivals

If UC doesn't get him I hope he goes to FSU. Too many UCONN fans showing 0 Class on their website doing nothing but slamming Cincinnati and thinking they are the only basketball program in the Country. My favorite post on their website is from a dillusional fan who thinks their 15 year run is as good as UCLA's in the 60-70's.

"We are, right now, on the same level. Thanks to the last 15 years. No program has had that dominant a strecth for that period of time except UCLA in the 60's/70's and Duke...right now."

How much better will UC be if they get AJ than without him? -- Chatter, 07:16:05 04/20/03 Sun
I think AJ will actually battle Whaley for playing time. The e-mails I've gotten about AJ from people who've seen him play say he could start for most big time programs. The fact that Whaley made 2nd team All-JUCO and that his work ethic are in question at times, makes me wonder who would play the most?

The best thing would be having the two of them practice against eachother every day.

I still think back to Anthony Buford saying on Lance's show that Huggs said he was going to bring in 5 studs next year.

How true that could be.

Are these 5 studs?
Nick Williams
Mike Pilgrim
James White
Robert Whaley
Alexander Johnson

Definitely.

AJ clearly makes UC 2 deep at every position.

1. Huggs rarely lose guys who visit
2. He's always wanted to be a bearcat, so it seems
3. Parents seems to stay out of it, Works in our favor
remember fuller and hall?
4. This is the best team recruiting him

Seems Uc and AJ have played cat and mouse long enough. I'd be surprised if he did not go with the bearcats

Pilgrim -- Cliff, 23:16:28 04/18/03 Fri
Saw Mike play at Hughes tonight and here are my two cents worth.

He's gotten a lot stronger the last two years and certainly has the hops to play at the high division I level. I don't think he has the ball skills to play the three spot and I personally doubt he ever will. He looks like a four to me. With this in mind I think he will need to develop his inside moves and improve his tenacity. He tended to let the game come to him. It may be due in part to the fact it was an all star game. He does seem to have the athletic ability to play for the Cats. He is quick enough and jumps like Maxiell. My prediction is he will likely see significant minutes his junior and senior year. The player he reminded me of is Aaron McGee. Aaron had a little better offensive skills, but isn't as quick. Both have strong left hands, but have difficulty going to their right.

Several other players of interest. His high school teammate Plummer played on the other team and covered Mike part of the game. Plummer has more ball skills and is more fluid. While not as strong as Mike, he showed his ability to get to the hole. He will need to improve his outside shooting to be a complete player, but I think he is a solid division I player right now.

The other player of interest was O.J. Mayo. I don't know if he is an eighth or ninth grader, but he looks as old as Chad Moore. He physically dominated the competition. Looked to be about 6'2+ and could dunk easily. His outside shot was very solid. I would take him as an incoming freshman right now and I think he would contribute right away.

Anyway, I know there were other Bearcat fans there who will have their own opinion. I will be interest to hear what they have to say.

Alex Johnson prediction -- Cliff, 17:10:36 04/19/03 Sat
I know it has been reported that AJ will visit UConn after his visit to UC. I predict he will either cancel his visit to UConn and verbal to UC or take his visit to UConn and not attend UC.

Given his history of being easily persuaded I think it is critical to have the last visit. In either case this probably won't be over till the signed piece of paper is in hand and maybe not even then with the NCAA having a say.

AJ recruiting question -- Cliff, 20:33:44 04/01/03 Tue
It is being rumored that Mike Davis will leave Indiana and go to Georgia. AJ wanted to go to Georgia before Harrick pulled his tricks. AJ likes Indiana with Mike Davis.

If Davis gets the Georgia job I can see AJ pulling a late switch (again) and sign up with the home school with the new coach. I think he would really like to stay close to home.

I for one would continue to recruit AJ at the present time. I think there is a less than 50/50 chance of getting him, but he is too big a talent not to go after him. And it's not like it will keep us from offering someone else next year. I also think you have to give the kid the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the recruiting problems with Georgia. If we find that he was part of the problem then we let him go and work harder on a big man in the class of 2004.

Offers pouring in to 2 guards from the Bearcats -- bearcatattack, 11:41:09 04/01/03 Tue
Lofton,Price and Tyree Evans have offers from UC.Price is a High Flyer won the Illinois State Dunk title as a Fr.

O'Fallon junior guard Xavier Price is a pretty accomplished shooting guard prospect in the Class of 2004. On Sunday, Cincinnati offered him a scholarship and that's not all he's got cooking.

Price's current list is Oklahoma, Purdue, Cincinnati, UNLV and possibly Miami. Price says that the Rebels, Boilermakers and Bearcats offered. Oklahoma continues to express interest in him.

"My main goal is the same every year," Price said. "I want to get better at everything - passing, rebounding, defense, shooting and ball handling." Add point guard skills to the list as well.

Price contends that he's working on playing some point guard. "[They St. Louis Eagles coaches] told me they want me to play some this year. I ran it a little bit in high school but mainly for set plays.

"It's just something else that I have to work on right now. I spend a lot of time running the point in practice."

Price and the Eagles won the AAU Super Showcase last year and they'll be in contention for major tournament championships on a weekend basis this spring and summer.

Meanwhile, Price will continue to examine his college options. "My main thing is playing time. I don't want to come out and have to red shirt or ride the bench. I feel like I can go in there and play now."

UC is going to save their last scholarship for 2004 -- Neo, 16:40:58 03/29/03 Sat
From what I hear, UC is going to hold their last scholarship unless Alexander Johnson or Guy Ngarndi signs with them. 2004 targets are Lofton, Terwilliger, Chris Moore, Jason Rich, D'Aaron Williams, Aaron Agnew, and Seth Gorney.
Priorities are a couple of big men and an outstanding shooting guard to go with Jamar Butler. Jamar Butler is the next Steve Logan, but even better.

Cali Forward considering UC -- bearcatattack, 15:29:01 03/27/03 Thu
Coach Legree has done a nice job of scouting West Coast prospects for UC. The Cats are also involved with a Oregon Forward

Tim Pierce, a multidimensional 6-foot-7, 190-pound combo forward from Fremont High School in Oakland, California, is just one of the many talented forwards in the class of 2004.

Pierce might not get a lot of national recognition, but he has the natural ability to be one of the better players in this class.

“Right now, I’m standing about 6-feet-7. I’m probably better suited for the combo forward position, but I can play a little of both positions,” Pierce said. “I can score from the inside or I can take my man out to the perimeter.”

Pierce has not decided what schools he will officially visit and he does not know if all five visits will be used. It is still very early in the evaluation process, but he is hearing from some impressive schools.

“I’m hearing from Kansas, Cincinnati, Texas, Miami, Oregon and California,” Pierce said. “I’ll start planning my visits after my AAU summer season is complete, and I will select a school a couple of weeks into my senior year. I’ll base that decision on how I fit into the environment, my relationship with the players and coaches, and my comfort level.”

Pierce will spend his summer touring with his Oakland Solider One AAU team. If he is going to gain the national attention that many think he is capable of, this is when and where it will happen.

He kicks off the summer with a trip to Las Vegas and, after that, will travel on to places like Chapel Hill for Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions, Houston, Texas for the Houston Superstars Tournament, Adidas Big Time in Las Vegas and several other venues around the United States.

Plummer Update -- bearcatattack!, 16:23:24 03/07/03 Fri
Norman Plummer, the 6-6, 205 pound junior combo/small forward from Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., told Rivalshoops.com that he hopes to visit a Big East school in the very near future.

Plummer said he has been offered a scholarship by Providence College and plans to visit the Rhode Island based school sometime over the next few weeks.

A native of Fairfield, Ohio, Plummer has already taken unofficial trips to Louisville (Kentucky game) and Ohio State (Louisville game), but neither of those programs have offered him a scholarship to this point.

Plummer played well in the second half at last week's NEPSAC quarters to help the Bobcats knock off second seeded Maine Central Institute.

In addition to the aforementioned colleges, Plummer said he also has been hearing from schools like Wyoming, Dayton and Marquette.

A lanky and long armed forward, Plummer is a bit of a tweener position wise. What he does exceptionally well is score around the basket, be it by running the floor and finishing in transition or stalking the baseline for second chance points. He consistently puts himself in good position to score and is more of a quick forward than a power forward at this stage, even though he's a master of scoring inside six feet.

That said, Plummer admitted that he needs to fine tune certain aspects of his game. In particular, he hopes to extend his range from the perimeter and improve his ball handling. If he can do those things, there's little doubt he could play the small forward or swing position at the college level.

"Anywhere around the paint I can score," Plummer said. "I am working on my perimeter game in general."

Plummer plans on suiting up for Ozie Davis' Queen City Prophets program this spring and summer. Rivalshoops.com will keep you posted on his development and recruitment in the weeks and months to come, so keep it here for the top coverage of the Class of 2004 and beyond.

ChicagoHoops.com has some interesting info on a few targets for the 2004 class in the state of Illinois. I have been hearing a lot about DeAaron Williams, a 6-5 SF from Bartonville. I know that Marquette is all over him. Another kid I have heard us mention with is 6-4 point guard Justin Cerasoli. Ohio State is all over Cerasoli. Cerasoli's plays on the same high school team with Dameon Mason (Marquette recruit) and Shaun Pruitt. Pruitt has half the Big 10 chasing him.

Hubbard -- Dan Meyer, 13:30:38 02/25/03 Tue
Jimmy Hubbard was a JUCO transfer last year who battled back problems and ended his season early. I saw him once in Clifton and asked him what his future was. He said he was applying for a medical redshirt for this season (which would be his senior year). He is still on the bench during Bearcat games this year. Does anyone know what his future is and if he will be in uniform next year?

- Hubbard was very unimpressive last year. Always a step slow and very poor defense. I can't see him sticking around unless he used up his scholarship this year and is going to pay his way next season and sit on the bench just to be a part of the team. Who knows? Unless sitting through practices and watching games has taught him alot and he understands better what to do....? (NT) -- Chatter, 15:13:03 02/25/03 Tue
- Jimmy actually got is bachelors degree after only one year. He is in grad school this year on a free ride. Once he gets this degree he is off to the real world. -- John J. Powers, 15:19:15 02/25/03 Tue

From what I have read recently, UC is in the mix for 2 guys, Alexander Johnson and Guy Ngarndi. Both of these guys have IU first and UC as their second choice. Here is the question, does anyone know how many scholarships IU has left to give for next year? If they only have one avaiable due to the 5/8 rule, could we be choice 1A for the guy who waits to commit?

- There are only a few good recruits available for 2003, nearly every good recruit is already signed. IU has 16 players on their roster right now, 3 of which are scholarship seniors (there must be some walk-ons). They've given one schollie for 2003 already, so they have 2 to give. Any quality 2003 recruit that's still available is being sought after by everyone. -- Chatter, 16:35:25 02/24/03 Mon

    - Because he's more of an off guard/shooting guard than a PG. He has good ballhandling skills, but his forte is shooting the 3. Huggins and Co. basically like having PG's at each guard position, kinda like when Logan and Satterfield were starting together. When you have a Field Williams that's afraid to dribble, it limits the offense. (NT) -- Chatter, 22:24:45 02/24/03 Mon
