In a matter of 24 hours the Cincinnati Bearcats’ front court went from being a major question mark to an area of stability for the next three seasons. Truthfully, UC is rather loaded down low in the 2015-16 season.
The Bearcats return the best four and five combo in the AAC in Octavius Ellis and Gary Clark. The duo combined for 18.7 points and 14.4 rebounds per game last season. Clark especially was impressive in his first ever collegiate season, displaying the patience and aggressiveness around the rim of a seasoned veteran. Not to be outdone by the freshman, Ellis too turned heads in his second stint with the Bearcats.
