PHILADELPHIA – John Brannen has faced many challenges in his short time as Cincinnati basketball coach.

With a finalized staff, roster and schedule behind him and recruiting always on-going, Brannen says the priority is clear as his first season begins next week with an exhibition against Thomas More University.

A trio of returning starters in Jarron Cumberland, Keith Williams and Trevon Scott, Brannen says, must be 100 percent bought-in to a new vision after years of following Mick Cronin's methods.
