Cincinnati Bearcats Transfers

[BigKari]

Looks like the entire team basically has entered the transfer portal. 6 transfers. Which leaves them with 4 players and zero commits from the 2021 class. Looks like an absolute dumpster fire and makes you wonder what the hell is going on there.

In other transfer news, KyKy Tandy has announced that he is leaving Xavier and entering the transfer portal.

 

[STEVECAT]

Their coach sucks. Should have hired Kenyon Martin or Nick Van Exel

 

[YardCat]

How many Kentucky players would Cal have on 1 team?

 

[YardCat]

Cincy players are really hard nosed and tough.

You’re right, but it also makes me wonder how feasible this whole no repercussions for transferring thing really is. I mean their program is going to be absolutely gutted by this.

At what point is there accountability on the part of the kids? Those kids made a commitment to that school. Anymore, it just seems like young people aren’t being taught to honor commitments. It seems to be a society-wide thing, not just sports.

Cincy players are really hard nosed and tough.

And not very good at Basketball

 

[MdWIldcat55]

I'll bet Brannen wishes he never left NKU. His next job in a year or so will be in the assistant ranks.

 

[EliteBlue]

I'd take KyKy Tandy right now

 

[Kuhldaddy]

Brannen must have a little Greg Marshall in him.

 

[megablue]

I'd take KyKy Tandy right now

I suspect he will be a Topper. Just a guess.

 

[rolaid]

Well Brannon does have a immediate playing time for available to replace those six with a new six they must’ve not been very good anyway

 

[bookerfan66]

I suspect he will be a Topper. Just a guess.

I would rather have Powell anyway.Hope we can get him.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Only way we are getting Powell is SEC to change the in conference sit out a year rule. ACC already did it, now it’s time for the SEC to do the exact same thing.

 

[MWes11]

This transfer portal situation is getting out of hand, imo. Same thing happening at PSU with 6 players entering the portal, all being productive players on the team. Totally depleting the roster and leaving them with nothing.

I do think certain situations are okay for players to leave, just not sure where the line should be drawn.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Wonder how many schools will not even have enough players to field a team when it is all said and done?
Open tryouts on several campuses next fall.

Now tell us how this applies to coaches.

 

[nickhorvathsuxazz]

The whole system is broke...just a damn mess

 

[crawfords corner]

Maybe UK can start a 2nd team for guys who are from Kentucky, Xavier, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Indiana.

 

[westerncat]

"This transfer portal" they may have opened up a can of worms with this.

 

[yes_takeaside]

Some may not find new homes. Hard to imagine many schools having more than 2 slots for transfers.

Whoa whoa. That only happens here🤷🏽‍♂️

 

[villefan76]

I'd take KyKy Tandy right now

But not his Dad, Orton 2.0.

 

[yoshukai]

It’s going to be Helter Skelter every year.

 

[the stat man]

I would really like to have Powell on next years team !

KyKy won’t be at Kentucky, no chance

And people change jobs every day. No commitment to their jobs. Farrar them all.

Brannen isn't a bad coach. He did good stuff at NKU.

March 19, 2005.

Beautiful day in the Greater Cincinnati area for UK fans.

Seems like all UC fans died that day. Haven’t heard a peep since.

 

[aikenite4uk]

College free agency

 

[villefan76]

KyKy won’t be at Kentucky, no chance

That’s good, never personally wanted anything to do with the kid.

 

[gollumcat]

Cincy players are really hard nosed and tough.

They used to be.

 

[HarnessedCat]

Agree Huggins hasnt coached there in years though.

 

[RunninRichie]

Agree Huggins hasnt coached there in years though.

Cronins teams were pretty tough.

 

[BigKari]

Cronins teams were pretty tough.

That’s nice and all and I really enjoyed some of those teams. I’ve been to a bunch of UC games being from Nky, and I’ve always pulled for them and followed them...but Cronin never took them past the Sweet 16.

 

[megablue]

I would rather have Powell anyway.Hope we can get him.

I’m hoping Pippen can play for us, maybe 2 years, since he can repeat the Covid year.

I meant they were hard nosed lol

2 sweet 16s in 13 years was the best he could do. Shows you how desperate UCLA was for any coach.

 

[MakinMusic]

And not very good at Basketball

Ha. Be great for a street fight. All joking aside, it would be great to have some toughness and kick ass attitude on our team again.

 

[UKRuppster]

Should have hired Kenyon Martin or Nick Van Exel

I seem to remember Van Exel wanted the job, K-Mart endorsed him for the job or both.

I remember Mick was something like their seventh choice, of course after bigger names that they struck out on (Cal was one of them if I remember correctly). I think they could have had Rick Barnes, but decided they didn't want to pay enough to buy him out from Tennessee. Not that I necessarily thought of Rick Barnes as this great 'can't miss' hire for them, but it wasn't a good look for a program with as much history as UCLA not being willing to pay what was necessary to pry him away and settle for what they thought was a lesser option in Cronin because it was cheaper.
