10.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists ------ as a frosh -- sg put can play t6he point. -- 81 % from the line--- 5 guards now but he has potential and 3 years if we can keep him - 33% from 3 but he goes to the basket- the word is that he can play defense -- how did he make it this long and what a find for CJC.

It does seem strange that he lasted this long. Also, it sounds like he didn't start right away, but had some higher scoring games late in the year. Sounds like a significant signing to me.

Akai Fleming, 6'4" guard, from Georgia Tech apparently committed during the time we were away. Any real info on him?

I thought that there was an independent thread about APR. However, it is such an old topic that I could not find it. Keep in mind that it was the academic progress report that haunted Huggin's teams. Initially, it required your student-athletes to graduate and if you did not score high enough, you started losing scholarships. The fault was that if an athlete transferred out of your program and did not graduate, it scored against your APR. Now with the portal and unlimited free agency, how does the APR still remain relevant? With this in mind, fourteen UC teams had a perfect score.

So far for next season, UC's roster has 10 guys in total (so far). The roster composition consists of 2 point guards, 5 shooting guards/wings, and 3 big men. So, UC has three more scholarships to give. In my opinion, UC could use another big man. Perhaps a pure 4 or a combo 4/5. Somebody about 6'10" or taller, can play on both sides of the floor, and can shoot a jump shot. I am amazed at all the bigs that cannot shoot a jump shot. The jump shot is one of the most basic tools in basketball. Back to the main topic. With the last two scholarships, UC could bring in 2 freshmen. Maybe Quincey Wadley could be a recruit, and another freshman point guard or big man that Calhoun and staff can develop.

Any thoughts on how the remaining 3 scholarships could be used?

While technically only 13 scholarships, the other 2 roster spots will get enough NIL to get make up for a scholarship. My thought is go after best available high school guys or overseas. The transfer market is going to make it hard to find the talent we need.

It probably won't include a transfer big. The well is tapped out in that area for quality.

Yes there are. No news is good news perhaps.

[Oldtimer_UC_fan]

Rumors are awfully quiet.

here is some good news concerning $$$$. Huggs and several players were raising $$$. Besides the usuals (Cory, Terry, Keith G) Nicky V and Melvin L. showed up and praised the new coach. Nicky says he gets the UC tradition especially about X and that CJC can coach. It tells me they might be raising a little more for perhaps this year and it sets the foundation for generous giving in the future.

PS Nick shared his disappointment with the last 2 coaches. he made a comment how the X game while just one game, wasn't just a game. That was a direct hit on WM and his bunch. I also think that it was great that Huggs allowed his documentary to be a plat6form for $$$ raising. He is allowed to have his heart back in the program.

Whether it's money for top 50 high schoolers or transferees, it's good to see Huggs pulling hard for Calhoun.

Thanks for this info Leo. Good to know that former players are rallying around the program.

As to wearing C-Paw clothing, I do that. But I am surprised by the reaction I sometimes get when I hail another person toting the C-Paw with a “Go Bearcats” shoutout. Some look at me as if I have three heads. I just smile and point to my logo. But the good thing is that I’m seeing the C-Paw on more and more people around here (southern suburbs of Dayton).

Quincy Wadley will be on campus this coming Monday for an official visit. He already took an OV to Cal last fall, as well as an unofficial visit to BYU.

He isn't a transfer https://vb.bearcatnews.com/forum/bas...2026-va-sg-6-4

$10 million now seems to be the minimum expenditure necessary for a major conference program to put together a roster that will compete for a NCAA tournament berth. Regardless of what our budget ends up being, I'm sure Corey Evans and staff will maximize it to the best degree.

Considering we're still in the running for a top 50 high school recruit, Quincy Wadley, I'd imagine that we still have some money to spend on guys who can be instant contributors. Trust CJC.

The staff have shown interest in Ole Miss big man James Scott. 6'10" rim protector who posted a 4.8 BPM in his junior season. Ultra low usage on offense but a 4.0 DBPM and 9% block rate, both top 10 in the portal.

James Scott is off to to Georgia
