The above post makes me wonder if he's had issues all along since this is his second trip to John Lucas. I think when he went last time, I really didn't connect the trip or JLE to a 12-step program but that seems to be the case after all at this point. Definitely explains why he's not with the team.

And I just read he's posting and deleting stuff from ig again, but idk what.

The Skills Academy is invite-only-i.e. it is an honor to be invited and having players selected reflects well on their college team. Jizzle's situation was different in that it seems to have been his choice to go to Houston-but as others have alluded to, his recent posts where it seems like he is coming back to the team also mentioned starting step 1 of a 12 step program-so seems likely that his time in Houston has more to do with getting help for off-court trouble than any sort of statement of confidence (or lack thereof) in UC's coaching staff. If that's the case, then good luck to him-it's a brave step to pubicly acknowledge your struggles like that.

Curious, how does this differ from JJ working at
the clinic in Houston - neither working with Bearcat
coaching ?

Good news, obviously. I’ve seen so many guys elevate their game in their Jr. year. And this year he may have inside guys who want the ball for something more than just lob passes.

Episode 1 of "Bearcats Reloaded" from UC just hit YouTube etc. It is 6 mins long. I have not watched yet but wanted to share:

Seems to me that his training away from the other team members says that he has no confidence in CWM or the coaching staff to develope him further. He self ostracized himself and therefore derelict any team chemistry, especially if he expects to obtain one of the starting guard positions. This also puts CWM in a very precarious position when it comes to determining his rotation. I am looking forward to the upcoming season but this latest move seems to confirm that JJ's "people" continue to dictate the terms of playing time. jmho

This AI article makes it sound that JJ will be back and more polished. https://v2.fanrecap.com/cincinnati-b...-rumors--w23SJ

It is hard to see him less polished. I am hoping that BB players and not famous players in other sports are able to get to him. I would love for him to succeed in a big way.
