ESPN Ranks Cumberland as 14th best player in College Hoops
http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketb...basketball
14. Jarron Cumberland, Cincinnati Bearcats
Last season, Cumberland was one option among many in a Bearcat offense that featured the likes of Jacob Evans, Kyle Washington and Gary Clark. In 2018-19, however, those guys are all long gone, and Mick Cronin's junior is suddenly carrying the heaviest possession-usage figure of any UC player in the KenPom era. (That statement includes Sean Kilpatrick, by the way, who was certainly no wilting flower in terms of commanding the ball.) As a 6-foot-5 combo guard, Cumberland is drawing fouls, hitting 3s and serving as a highly capable distributor of the ball alongside Cane Broome.

Been saying he should be an All American for a while now. He's having a special season.

That is a nice recognition for Jarron. He's earned it.

Had I written it I would have finished "... along side Justin Jennifer."
We'd be in BIG TROUBLE this year without Jarron Cumberland. I hope he continues to have a great college career that leads to whatever goals (NBA?) he has for himself.

RE: ESPN Ranks Cumberland as 14th best player in College Hoops
He's definitely earned it. He's single-handedly carried the team this year. Honestly this is a sub .500 level roster without him. Great player who has really taken this team on his shoulders. Really hoping he sticks for his senior year and then has a nice NBA career.

RE: ESPN Ranks Cumberland as 14th best player in College Hoops
Saw the headline on ESPN about their top 25 players but I'm not a premium subscriber so I didn't see the list. I would have been deeply disappointed in ESPN (wouldn't have been the first time) if he had been omitted. Let's hope this is the beginning of much more of this kind of well deserved recognition including All-American teams. He's a great Bearcat on an exciting team.

Well deserved. Wasn't someone saying on another thread that he wasn't even listed in their preseason top 100?

Same here.
I know I'm in the minority, but I see Jennifer as a potential NBA-level backup point guard. He knows his role and he's very, very good at it.

Awesome news, well deserved, and great recognition for both Jarron and our program. Hopefully, he's on to bigger and better things come March and beyond.

Caupain was a 6'4 point guard who was 21 when he graduated and had been a three year starter and multiple time all conference player. Caupain I believe is within days of being the exact same age as JJ.

Like I said, I know I'm in the minority
I've always liked his game.
An NBA point guard these days needs to hit spot-up threes, play defense, and avoid turnovers when bringing the ball up. Jennifer does all of those really well now at the college level. His height will make it hard for him to play defense at the NBA level. But his ballhandling and decision making are truly elite, and he can hit threes better than Clark or Evans ever have.
