CINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati men's basketball junior guard Jarron Cumberland (Wilmington, Ohio/Wilmington High School) has been named a unanimous First Team All-American Athletic Conference selection by the league's coaches.

Cumberland was one of three players in the league to earn unanimous first-team honors along with Cory Davis Jr. of Houston and Jeremiah Martin of Memphis. The other first-team All-AAC honorees were Temple's Shizz Alston Jr. and UCF's B.J. Taylor.

It marks the second consecutive season and third time in the league's six years that a Bearcats student-athlete was tabbed a unanimous first-team all-league selection. UC All-Americans Gary Clark (2018) and Sean Kilpatrick (2014) also earned the distinction.

Well deserved for Cumberland.

Having no other players in the top 15 nor in the top 5 freshman is telling.

I think some of guys could have been third team guys

Congratulations to Jarron--hard working, hard nosed player who was instrumental to UC's successful season.

I would also echo Bruce Monnin's comment above. If UC intends to stay at the top of this conference, one would reasonably expect a player on the all freshman team every season.

Great for Cumberland and well deserved. The fact we have no other player on any list is concerning going forward.

Jarron deserves it. He single-handedly carried the team this year.

They are a recognition for rewarding individual player performances and that’s it.

I was trying to read Mick's mind.

Congrats to Jarron... this team would not be anywhere near 2nd place without him.

Agreed on Cumberland. As to the bolded part, sure I'd love to see the awards littered with UC players, especially returning ones. But don't forget that Cumberland wasn't on any of those teams last year either, iirc. Regardless of whether he comes back though, I agree we need somebody (actually a few somebodies), to significantly up their game next year ala Cumberland this year.

Yeah, the next man in theory only really works when you have talent replacing talent. Next season will be miserable if Jarron goes pro, pretty confident that he stays for his senior season though and splits time with LoJo at point.
