Maybe because of the proposed new 5 year eligibility rule?

That's what I was thinking, so was Baba not elgible for another season at UC? If Baba was, he would have been my #1 priority to keep.

No news that Brumbaugh has committed anywhere yet. But there are reports that a couple of schools are throwing upwards of $3.5M-$4M at him.

I'm sorry and I know it's the state of collegiate athletics today but I just can't fathom schools offering that much for any player much less coming out of the less than power four conferences. I'm not saying that the kid can't play but 3-5 million is over paying. Perhaps that's why he hasn't been signed here yet. If he's wanting the money then he's not going to be proud to wear the cpaw or any brand for that matter.

There are a couple dozen PGs still available with higher BPMs than Brumbaugh. He's not worth overpaying for in my opinion.

Utah State's Adlan Elamin has committed to UC

Bumping this for the evening-only BearcatNews crowd

Not sure all these guys would even be eligible. Claude played 4 seasons -- most recent one he missed a bunch of games (I assume an injury?) but may not qualify. Conerway was a senior at IU this season -- and didn't live up to expectations -- but maybe he can get another year Day Day Thomas style. He came in as a defensive specialist and started much of the season but isn't a Big 12 level starter.

Is Desmond Claude a PG? At 6' 6", I always thought that he was a wing/shooting guard.

Not sure, but 247 has him listed as a PG. I would guess with his number of assist, a PG.

Utah State's Adlan Elamin has committed to UC

I like Elamin. From what I have seen of him, he plays hard and can score and rebound some (6.7 pts and 3.1 rebs / gm). When I saw USU last season, I got the feeling that Elamin was more of a defensive player. However, his defensive stats are not impressive at all (shot blocking and steals. Less than 1 / gm for both).

I do think that he has a very high upside. He is only a sophomore. Here is a surprise. The Utah State roster from last year has Elamin listed as a 6'9" 185 WING. I thought he was an undersized power forward. His defensive stats make more sense now.

Still, Elamin probably could stand to gain about 20 pounds. I like him. Glad he is at UC

I am with you on this one. UC should not overpay for anybody.

Yeah. You are correct. The media has him listed as a "non-shooting point guard". Good call.

He leaves UC tied for last in career points scored, three points behind Gabe Madsen.

I'm wondering if CJC just wanted to clean house and start over. It seems at least some of the players on the roster could fit into his vision. Maybe they were paid too much for his perceived value.

I thought so - would they be coachable after being babied by WM and getting rich by the NI. So much turmoil and infighting with the recent Cats. Not a whole lot of joy on the bench with players coming off the court. Some but not much team love. I will speak - yes we lost some players, but not many team players and few which Bearcat stamped on them. The great unknow might bring some fear, but after seeing what we already knew about them, give CJC a chance.
