Hick at U Cincy

[yoda]

Wardle's hands were 100% tied in the Childs situation - he was not allowed to even speak about it.
The actions were 100% from the President who allowed him to stay in school and get his degree but nothing else,
he was never allowed to be involved in any team activity. He did break curfew rules, but was never charged with anything
and was the victim of a setup and false accusations.

Thanks for that info, Yoda. I'm glad to hear that BW had nothing to do with it, because I find the Childs incident to be the biggest debacle in the BW era. I feel terrible for him to have his career at BU end the way it did. He was honestly one of the most dominant players we've ever had, and I'd like to see the fence mended and find a way to get him back on campus, though I imagine that's a pipe dream.

Though the orders came from the President, it was the lawyers who directed the decisions.

Hickman is still one of Cincy's best 6 or 7 players, esp defensively, but he has struggled offensively against Power Conference big guards
...averaging 4.3 ppg, but scoreless (0-8 ) in his last 4 games and averaging just 1.6 ppg (5-29 shooting) over their last 9 games.
Also just 2-17 from 3-pt in that span.

Totally with ya on this Tommy. Childs was the closest talent we've had to NBA, other than the recent contract for Malevy, since POB.
He was a beast for a couple seasons and actually pretty solid for the Covid season which we'd all rather forget.

I think Malevy was better then childs.

I think Malevy was better then childs.

That's hard to say as they were very different players, but they are both very special nonetheless.

They were completely different players, Malevy was more of an outside player while Childs was mostly an inside player. I would not trade either one of them.
