LATE 2006 ADDITIONAL FOR UC

August 28, 2006


It has been speculated for quite some time, but now it looks like Adam Hrycaniuk, a native of Poland, will be suiting up for the Cincinnati Bearcats this season. The 6'10 JUCO transfer from Trinity Valley (Tex.) Community College averaged 12 PPG and 7 rebounds a contest last year. He becomes the 9th newcomer in the class for Mick Cronon as the Bearcats Add Big Man (Cincinnati Enquirer).


With the addition of Hrycaniuk, here is a new updated projected roster for UC:


Projected 2007-2008 Roster:


Seniors: John Williamson (F), Marvin Gentry (G), Jamaul Warren (G), Tim Crowell (PG), Marcus Sikes (BF), Hernol Hall (C), Adam Hrycaniuk (PF/C)
Juniors: Mike Williams (PF)
Sophomores: Abdul Herrera (C), Deonta Vaughn (PG)
Freshmen: Larry Davis (SG)

NEW NAME ON UC RECRUITING RADAR

August 18, 2006


The regular Recruiting Buzz feature by the writers at Scout.com for FoxSports.com was updated yesterday and summarizes a couple Big East commitments (Trevor Mbakwe - Marquette and Carlton Scott - Notre Dame). Mike Sullivan also profiles the recruitment of Mike Scott who has Big East schools such as St. John's, West Virginia, Cincinnati and Seton Hall seriously involved and Pittsburgh has shown some interest as well. Scott originally signed last year with Temple and the Maryland native will spend a post-grad season at Hargrave Military Academy. Sullivan also gives an update on Jabari Edwards who has fielded calls from St. John's, Seton Hall and West Virginia.

BIG EAST RECRUITING UPDATE: CINCINNATI

August 9, 2006


COMMITMENT ALERT: Larry Davis, 6'3 SG from Houston (Hastings HS), TX

Article from the Cincinnati Enquirer on Hasting's commitment: UC Adds Davis to '07 Class.

Projected 2007-2008 Roster (Updated Aug 28th):


Seniors: John Williamson (F), Marvin Gentry (G), Jamaul Warren (G), Tim Crowell (PG), Marcus Sikes (BF), Hernol Hall (C), Adam Hrycaniuk (PF/C)
Juniors: Mike Williams (PF)
Sophomores: Abdul Herrera (C), Deonta Vaughn (PG)
Freshmen: Larry Davis (SG)


The University of Cincinnati basketball program has always found success when recruiting the state of Texas and new head coach Mick Cronin looks like he intends to keep up their profile in the Lonestar State. The Bearcats have secured a verbal commitment from 6'3 shooting guard Larry Davis from Hastings High School in Houston. Early comparisons of Davis have been made to another former Texas standout for the Bearcats: Field Williams.

Davis is the first commitment for the incoming class of 2007 for coach Mick Cronin and he chose UC over schools such as Boston College, Oregon, UTEP and SMU. Cincinnati assistant Tony Stubblefield had been in contact with Davis for some time and the Bearcats recruiting efforts with Davis intensified after a solid showing at the Adidas Superstar Camp in July. Davis has yet to visit the UC campus, but is expected to do so in the next few weeks.

With the commitment from Davis, we show the Bearcats with two open scholarships since Hernol Hall committed late int he 2006 recruiting process and Dominic Tilford recently decided to transfer out. With the available scholarships we definitely expect coach Cronin to continue to try to add size to the roster with at least one of the grants. Some players that saw the UC staff watching them intently this summer were Mamadou Diarra (6'11 from Stoneridge Prep), Anthony Randoplh (6'10 from Dallas, TX), James Johnson (6'8 from Cheyenne, WY), Tearon Hill (6'9 originally from TX) and Kennan Ellis (6'10 North College Hill, OH). as you can tell, Cronin's recruiting stretches far and wide with interest in players across America. Anthony Randolph is the highest rated player among the group and the toughest to get, but the Bearcats are among his top 5 schools.

With the final scholarship available, it looks like the Bearcats are likely to add a backcourt player. A couple of the players they seem to be on the most aggressive include 6'4 guard Eshaunte Jones, PG Dwan McMillan, PG Biko Paris (another form Texas) and Georgia's Tony Neysmith.


I am still trying to narrow down the Cincinnati recruiting targets. Every day it seems like new names from just about anywhere in the country pops up on the Bearcat radar. Mick Cromin is a tireless worker on the recruiting trail and he has already brought nine players into the fold since being hired last April. There will certainly be a lot to keep track of with this new staff.

We will keep you posted!
