AAC Basketball Media Day Report

First year men’s basketball coach John Brannen attended his first AAC Media Day with Cincinnati on Monday, flanked by his two seniors, Jarron Cumberland and Trevon Scott.

Bearcats were picked to finish third in the league, behind Memphis and Houston, who were tied for first. Third is a reasonable assessment. Memphis brings in loads of talent in Penny Hardaway’s second year as Head Coach. Tigers have the country’s #1 recruiting class. Houston coach Kelvin Sampson returns after flirting with some jobs. Cougars lose a few key pieces (Corey Davis, Armoni Brooks, Galen Robinson), but return Dejon Jarreau, Nate Hinton, and add Quentin Grimes from Kansas.
