At least one piece of roster news John Brannen delivered Friday about Cincinnati basketball before Midnight Madness was encouraging.
While four players, including star Jarron Cumberland, are sidelined with injuries, transfer Chris Vogt received an NCAA waiver for immediate eligibility this season.
The 7-foot-1, 240-pound center from Mayfield, Kentucky, played two seasons for Brannen at Northern Kentucky, averaging 4.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks and hitting 57.7 percent from the floor last season while serving in a reserve role behind NKU star Drew McDonald.
