STARTING FIVE
PG. Cane Broome
Although UC will miss four year starting point guard Troy Caupain, Cane Broome can certainly step right in. Broome is a transfer from Sacred Heart where he was the nations 8th leading scorer and he averaged 23 points a game. The 6-1 guard also put up 3 assists and 5 rebounds a game. In his first year at Sacred Heart Broome shot 38% from three so he adds that element of his game as well. Here are some of Cane's highlights.
G. Jarron Cumberland
After electing to stay home and attend Cincinnati, Cumberland had a very solid freshman season. The highly recruited freshman put up 8.3 points a game, but showed that he can go off in a couple games. Cumberland put up 15+ points in 9 games this season, which is topped by a 26 point performance against South Florida. Cumberland also lead the Bearcats in scoring with 15 points in their final game of the year against UCLA. This kid is built like a linebacker and is a great driver and finisher. When he gets to the basket, chances are he is going to score. Jarron has the potential to be great when his four years in Clifton are up.
G. Jacob Evans
Evans was UC's leading scorer this year with 13+ points a game and their best three point shooter at 42% this season. In the last 7 games Evans had at least 4 rebounds in everyone. He averaged just 4.2 for the season. Evans was UC's dominate scorer and I expect him to lead the team in that category again next year. He should be the Bearcat's best guard next year.
F. Gary Clark
Clark has become a staple of this team for the last couple of years. Gary has been known for his double-double and Jon Rothstein tweeting "Gary Clark is a problem." Clark averaged 10.8 points and 7.9 rebounds a game this season. Gary is a great finisher at the rim and gets a lot of offensive rebounds. He ended the season with 9 double-double's. Clark also attempted a lot more three pointers this year than he did last year. He started out hot, but made just two three's in the last seven games. He shot 28% from beyond the arc last year.
C. Kyle Washington
Washington transferred from NC State, but he was a huge reason why the Bearcats were able to win 30 games this year. He threw up a lot of shots that you would wonder how he got them to go in the basket. Nonetheless, he still put up 13 & 7 a game. Washington had 25 games in which he scored 10+ points this year. Unfortunately, he did not end the year the way he wanted to, but he made some big shots for the Bearcats. He also shot 36% from three point range this year.
BENCH
G. Justin Jenifer: Despite only seeing 12 minutes a game this year, I thought he improved a lot. JJ proved that he could take care of the ball. Last year he had 17 turnovers on just 8 minutes a game. This year he had 16 turnovers on almost 13 minutes a game. He also had a 4:1 assist/tunover ratio.
F. Tre Scott: This 6-8 freshman played just 10 minutes a game this season. Scott certainly has the potential, but he leaves his freshman year still with a lot of questions. He averaged 3 points a game and 2.5 rebounds, but didn't score in the Bearcats last 6/8 games.
C. Nysier Brooks: He played a big role in the Iowa State game playing minutes down the stretch, but much like Scott, we haven't learned to much about him yet.
F. Quadri Moore: We all are familiar with Moore's struggles. I will say, this year he did show some ability to shoot, but struggled at the end of the year. When ever Washington got in foul trouble, Moore was the one that checked in the game.
INCOMING RECRUITS
SF. Trevor Moore: According to ESPN, Moore is a three star recruit and a 79 overall. ESPN also went on to say "he is a shot maker how scores in bunches."
SG. Keith Williams: Also a 3 star and 79 overall, Williams stands at 6-4 from New York. ESPN says he's a "well built wing with a cut-up physique. An early bloomer physically." This just screams Mick Cronin's typical athletic defensive player.
C. Eliel Nsoseme: He is a 6-9 center from Canada so he will be UC's first international player since 2013.
