Connor Hickman at Cincinnati

[Da Coach]

CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein watched Cincinnati practice yesterday, and came away impressed, especially by a certain transfer from Bradley - https://x.com/JonRothstein/status/1841950109560668335

They also have a familiar 2025 basketball recruit on campus this weekend for an official visit - https://x.com/bearcatbunch/status/1842217587528151321

I hate Cincinnati.

I don't really care,Connor is no longer a Brave when he had the opportunity to return.

We'll be fine without Hick. I can't wait to see who steps up to fill his shoes - might be a collective effort, though I have a lot of hope for Zek.

Bingo! LB with the positive outlook, as always! That's why we love him!

Me, too. I hated to see Connor leave, but it opens up a lot more quality playing time for Zek, as well as more time for Dillon and Burch to contribute. Zek has the skill, athleticism, and shooting ability to be a star in the MVC.

Connor Hickman is asked if anyone is surprised with his athleticism (i.e. that he can dunk) - https://x.com/GoBearcatsMBB/status/1843728694952767884

I wish him luck because he was part of our regular season championship . We as a team just need to move forward and compete with the players that want to be here now.

Yeah, I understand most fans feel that way. But Connor was such a good kid, and a major part of the successes of the Braves the last 3 seasons. I can't blame him for pursuing his goals, and I wish him success.
