One thing people need to remember is that the team wasn’t good. That was on the coaching staff but the players weren’t good either. Not a single player that left would start on a top 25 team next year. Maybe in a few years Eason or Saunders could.

Screw it with freshmen, in modern college basketball you should be recruiting transfers who then are stuck with you, older players, with a track record. Freshmen are basically free agents who are looking for tape for their next school.

Whoever is coaching UC needs to adjust to the new normal and kill it every year with the portal. Coaches are wasting their time bringing in large freshmen classes.

I actually agree with this to a degree and why my love for college basketball has gone from about a 100 to 5 over the last decade or so. Add in AAU recruiting BS and the brand on your jersey meaning where players can't go and the sport isn't anything like it used to be.

Oh well at least I still have football left. How much longer. We'll see.

Idk if the portal is going to ruin NCAA basketball, but it sure ruined Bearcat basketball today.
