Analysis: With Evans leaving, has window closed on Cincinnati Bearcats' best hopes?

UC's Evans recaps AAC title clincher at Wichita State/ Tom Groeschen

With Jacob Evans III having declared that he will leave the University of Cincinnati and enter the 2018 National Basketball Association draft, there is a sense that a window has closed on some of the Bearcats' best basketball hopes.

UC already faced the reality that standout forwards Gary Clark and Kyle Washington are leaving, having exhausted their eligibility this season. The return of Evans would have offered much more hope for the 2018-19 season, but now UC fans wonder what will happen with three of this year's top four scorers gone.
