Not every highly touted prospect works out. Just because a player dunked on everyone in high school and has a highlight tape that looks more like and And1 Mixtape than video of an AAU game doesn’t always mean he’ll turn into a star.
Although its obviously too early to make a final judgement on Jarron Cumberland, it appears that he will not end up being a dud. A tremendous all-around player with great size in high school, Cumberland has come in and worked through some early growing pains to become a consistent and important threat off the bench for the Cincinnati Bearcats.
