True - - this has been confirmed.

With 9 guys on their roster and at least one skilled player per position, things could be worse. Cincy should be able to fill their open roster spots, through the transfer portal.

Some of these guys will need to maximize their productivity in 2022-23, and the team is probably going to need to add a couple of scorers and rebounders in order for the Bearcats to have a successful season.

Exactly what kind of success they might be capable of having will depend on how they fill out their roster.
