Bigs are not in short supply for the Cincinnati Bearcats, who boast a roster that has top playmakers like Gary Clark and Kyle Washington as well as promising youngsters like Tre Scott and Nysier Brooks. Both Scott and Brooks carved out roles for themselves as freshman and look to be key pieces both on the glass and on defense for the next few years.
But the college game doesn’t allow for complacency so there will always need to be that next guy. In that regard, Mick Cronin and his staff did well in recruiting for the 2017-18 season, adding even more height and depth to the frontcourt.
