He is going pro

Really wish we would have tried to get involved with Carton. Shocked he didn’t choose Iowa

Or Missouri. Both have been given indications he was coming.

From Michigan to Cincinnati. Perplexing!

The worry about Missouri was they weren’t sure if Cuonzo would be there next year when he will actually be able to play.

Then they need to temper expectations. Though all the best to DDJ.

DeJulius and Kenyon Martin will be a really good PnR duo at Cincy.

For sure! Demarr Johnson and Jason Maxiell should benefit too!

Brannen* but they absolutely are. Live in the area and know a bunch of UC people, seemed pretty down after Tate didn’t transfer from NKU to Cincy, but DDJ is easily an upgrade, at least offensively.

Sounds a bit like Beilein in terms of being a 3pt guy and more about Xs and Os than recruiting, might just be DeJulius thought that kind of coach was his best shot at developing into a 17+ point a game lead guard and securing a good start to a pro career either in high level European ball or as a 3rd PG/G league guy stateside.

“There was a game that I really think turned the tide where Dave got off to a really good start, he was dominant, and then he didn’t play the first 12 minutes of the second half. I think that was the beginning of the end.” - Tim McCormick

I do remember a game like that and I wondered what the deal was?

I mean that probably happened multiple times when Simpson was in foul trouble in the first half. All it meant was that we needed him more in the first half but tightened the rotation in the second.

I remember a few games like that. I’d like to have him here. I have a feeling based on Dylan’s coverage that Juwan doesn’t necessarily feel that way, or, at least, didn’t until April 13. Has he changed his mind since then? I don’t know, but it would be interesting to know. I do hope Juwan is being thoughtful about recruiting, given how much he’s been given to think about.
