OVERALL
The Bearcats return a lot of talent led by Kilpatrick and Wright who will be the go to scorers. The Loss of Gates could be big but I don’t think that it will hurt them as much because at times last year they seemed to play around the big man as opposed to playing through so the same philosophy should work with Jackson as their primary inside threat. I like UC’s scrappy tough play and I expect them to compete for a top four spot in the Big East.
Parker will have a solid season this year to, he makes the 4 guard system work because he can guard other teams post players even at only around 6’4″ . We have a lot of solid young guards also, I think we will be better than this 23 ranking you gave us @telnme lol. With Wright , Kilpatrick, Parker and Jackson we have a good core.
People also seem to be forgetting that we have Shaq Thomas this year too. He was a freshman last year and our highest recruit last year. He had to sit out due to problem with the school he came from. He will be a great addition to the team as well. Then add in the probably chance of getting Chris Obekpa and this is a really tough team.
I forgot about Shaq Thomas.. UC is def making positive moves. *Thanks for commenting
