Absolutely not. The chili is easily the worst thing about Cincinnati. I'd rather they bring me some MadTree.
Wild Turkey Rare Breed on the sphere rock for me *clink*
I'm on some Michter's with a rock. Was the best deal at Binnys last weekend

If we're dreaming I think we could do better than Boswell. Also, if you get Domask back you don't really need a ball dominant point guard since Domask can play point.
If Domask gets a waiver id rather see them go after a bigger guard that can shoot like Gibson Jimerson or Ryan Conwell and then bring Maddox and DGL off the bench(Don't need 3 small guards).
Domask just continued to get better and better and initiating the offense and creating for others as the season went on that his return would allow to get real creative in the portal and how you could construct a lineup around him.
Smh. Proves we're behind the times.
Everyone has switched over to Microsoft teams video calls and we are still stuck on zoom.
Just proves Brad is a fraudulent coach that will tank this program.
Or Libertyville where I think one of Tyler’s old roommates was from.
C'mon, man! Do you even know how much Microsoft licensing costs? We've gotta save that money for the portal.
Teams totally sucks. Companies are only switching over because it is cheaper. Zoom is way more versatile. Bodes well to me that staff is going portaling using the best option regardless of cost….
Wait.. Did I miss something? Reading through the comments from today, people are making it sound like Amani may not be a lock to come back next year now? Say What?
Ayo, Kofi, Coleman, Luke. They don't ALL leave or get pushed out of the nest. Ty Rogers would be a three year guy at least, too, should he stay (and we haven't heard anything to suggest he won't). And if DGL and Amani stay, the transmission from year-to-year of this program's culture will hopefully be sustained.
Continuity matters. Staff of course totally knows that.
So when they can keep guys (HS recruits, or 2+ year portal recruits), they surely will do so.
Every day guy (EDG) culture has to include at least SOME continuity of roster from year to year. Coaches are not, alone, able to draw out EDG culture from the guys that play the game. Leaders on the roster are of course essential in this.

C'mon. It's Lawrenceville.
I expect there is no such thing as a lock, ever, at the moment. Kinda rough to realize that. (That said, it sounds like there is every reason to think Amani will be back -- he wants to, and the staff want him. Hopefully, the roster construction works.)
If we're dreaming I'll go with Javon Small along with Raynaud and Storr.
Honestly, it’s a legitimate question. It’s going to be tough for kids outside the top 50 to play much their first year in a top 30 program. If you can essentially be a free agent every season, why wouldn’t you just go somewhere you’ll play?
I wonder who the first player to leave a team and eventually make his way back will be… It’s going to happen.
Seton Hall
It was almost Adam Miller
Robbie Avila has been mentioned and questioned, but in reading all the posts in this thread over the past week, I have not seen any insider info on whether he might be portaling and if we might be interested. He graduated from Oak Forest (Illinois) H.S. and went to the MVC where he has been a star. He is 6' 10". shoots the three ball over 39%, and is pretty crafty and a team player. Great guy to have for two years, IMHO. Just wondering if BU would be interested if he portaled?
Why not dream bigger- Johnell Davis, Reynaud and Storr!
I thought we lost Small when his coach went to Michigan but if Michigan does get Johnell to follow May there, I doubt Small would go there- they both want the ball in their hands so Small could be in play- but I hope they are making a serious run at Johnell, obviously he would be a big difference maker no matter who comes back
