Zach Harvey

This is the more relevant point. Is the Harvey news by itself concerning? No. But this team just okay and there is nobody coming in right now for 21-22. I would have thought Harvey would start next season. Guess not.

This is very upsetting. On top of this, we have nobody signed for the 2021 class. I want coach Brannen to succeed, but that is beginning to look less likely. How long until the fans cry out for a new coach?

Playing behind Mason Madsen??? It’s time to GO. Madsen is a Patriot/Horizon League player. My nephew plays for West Point. They were laughing when UC signed Rap.

was he really playing behind Madsen? is there enough sample size to say that? idk...wasn't Zach just getting better from covid too?

Makes me nauseous to think where the program could be headed. For now, I'll hold on to hope coach knows what he's doin and Harvey just doesn't work hard enough or something. wish he would mature with us, but...it is world we're in now...how do you build a program in this climate?

I have had concerns this year with the future of the program. Many have said year 2 was always supposed to be a rebuild year. But with the pandemic combined with the new transfer rules, a concerning time to be trying to build things up as part of a coaching transition. (Different but reminds me of the unfortunate timing of the apex of the Reds’ rebuild coinciding with the pandemic).

In todays recruiting enviornment unfortunately it seems it cant be done by legal methods. The entire system is inherently flawed. When recruits are promised everything and anything 4 and 5 star they are not going to be content waiting for playing time to open up for them. Not to mention the kids' families expectations. I hate to see Harvey go also as He is going to be a great ball player someday, but also that only makes Brannens selling the bearcat brand even harder. What a shame.

I worry about Eason, honestly. Something is just off with Brannen’s style as a head coach here at UC.

Huge loss for the program. Kid was shooting 50% from the field and 46% from three on a team where nobody can shoot. This is REALLY disturbing. I’m baffled on why this kid couldn’t get on the court over Adams-Woods and Madsen.

I admit I am lost on how all the "opt out" stuff works and am not asking for a summary here. I know he has long appeared unhappy, but then I am simply watching some image on a screen. My question is, Why opt out if planning on transferring? Wouldn't it still be worth finishing the season, getting the practice/playing/coaching time? That would seem invaluable given the state of the world and the precious little time available for any players to play anywhere these days.

Justin Williams reporting he’s not expected to return to UC

[EricWP96]

That sucks. I can't imagine he won't transfer.

Zach Harvey has opted out of the rest of the season per Brian Snow at 247 This does not necessarily mean he will transfer out but we’ll see

I missed this write up from Justin WIlliams on Zach this week. Lots of video breakdown on Zach's WSU game. ($)
