On Monday, junior guard Trevor Moore announced his decision to enter the transfer portal, after playing 75 games as a Bearcat. Moore becomes the sixth player to depart the program since the end of last season, coinciding with Mick Cronin’s departure to UCLA.
Any time you lose six players, it’s going to hurt, though none of them were particularly impactful on their own. The fact that many fans shrugged at the departure of each player is proof that Cincinnati might have been recruiting the wrong players and their last few classes certainly reflect that. 2017 and 2018, in particular, since those classes should be the heart of this team right now as sophomores and juniors.
