Cincinnati Bearcats Player Profiles | Shaquille Thomas

Defense and guards. That has been the foundation of the Bearcats rebuilt program under Mick Cronin. The one position that the Bearcats haven't been able to recruit particularly well is that hyper athletic wingman. Thats something that every big program has.

Cincinnati Bearcats Basketball Profiles | Jermaine Sanders

Jermaine Sanders and Shaquille Thomas. Two New York born and bread wings who were supposed to come in and provide scoring punch right off the mark. That was the theory, but it didn't quite come off. Thomas was held out, then red shirted because of his transcript, and Sanders hardly resembled the player of the year in Manhattan.

Player Profiles | Titus Rubles

Mick Cronin jumped into the JUCO ranks to nab Titus Rubles, the number 2 ranked player in the country by JUCO Junction. Rubles is the kind of long, athletic wing that has been notable in its absence from the Bearcats roster as Mick rebuilt the program. Rubles has a chance to be a really exciting player for the Bearcats, and how Mick handles him will be one of the story lines of the early season.

Player Profiles | Justin Jackson

Justin Jackson carved out a role as the hype man for Yancy Gates, the injector of energy, spontaneity and chaos into what could be, at times, a very stagnate team, not just offensively, but defensively as well. What will become of Jackson with an expanded role?
