As the 2016-17 basketball season rolls around, the recent success of Mick Cronin’s recruiting are abilities are coming full circle. In the last few seasons, Cronin has been able to secure players like Jacob Evans, whose impact was felt last season, Justin Jenifer, Tre Scott, Nysier Brooks and Jarron Cumberland. Cincinnati’s roster for the upcoming year looks as stacked as ever and that includes Scott, who redshirted last season but should be competing for a role this season.
Scott hails from Darien, Georgia where his athleticism and size caught the attention of many coaches across the state and even around the country.
