Great video highlights Bearcats#1. Agree on Clark. Some of his moves reminded me of one Ruben Patterson attacking the rim. Ellis moves and runs the floor pretty dang good for a guy 6'10" and only 210 lbs? and I like his shot blocking ability. DeBerry is definitely the "space eater" of the three bigs. A lot to be excited about when you add these recruits to the current roster.

Chad said on bearcattalk that those videos were of Deberry when he was still in high school and 16
Those high school highlights of Deberry and Ellis aren't worth much.
I found one of Deberry's Juco team from March, he has a few blocks and scores mostly in the second half highlights. Watch the video the whole way through(it's only 7 minutes long.) and you'll see a pretty typical 5. He's #22
Well coordinated, gets up and down the floor and is a very solid chunk of mass in the middle. His team is very guard oriented, which is why his numbers don't exactly dazzle(though they aren't bad either...) but looking at paltry few minutes he plays, he must be a pretty efficient scorer.
When it comes to the 5, I think the team will be decent. My problem, is that I think aside from the point we may not have any part of the team that is actually exceptional. I think Ellis with his length may have be something special at the 4 but it's hard to know for certain. Plus, when he's off the floor, I'm worried how it will be handled.
Then of course, you have the 3. If Shaquille Thomas was more aggressive, I wouldn't be worried at all. Sanders and Thomas are just adequate. Thomas should be more than adequate, he should be a very good scorer and a hard player to stop. His flashes of potential tease us.
At the 2, Johnson and Morman are iffy. Johnson will be good, but this is only his sophomore year. He's probably not going to take over games or wow us with crazy numbers and while Morman has tremendous athleticism, will he be enough of a difference maker coming out the gate? Guyn may be a 2 and that's where I think he'd be best, since Cobb imo is a better point guard; but will he be consistent?
