The big guy with the soft touch around the rim will always be a Bearcat legend, but what has he been up to since walking away from the Queen City?
On Friday, German basketball team Telekom Baskets Bonn and former Cincinnati Bearcat Yancy Gates agreed to part ways. It was another in a growing list of stops for Gates since he left the hallowed halls of the University of Cincinnati.
For the four years he was with the Bearcats, there was no more consistent Cincinnati player in the paint than Gates. From 2008 to 2012, Gates was a lock for at least 10 points and six boards every night, turning it up as a senior on his way to being named to the 2012 Big East Championship All-Tournament team.
