bad news for cincy

  CINCINNATI (AP) -- Point guard Cashmere Wright, a freshman who was expected to play a big role for Cincinnati, tore a knee ligament and is out for the season.
   The team said Thursday that Wright tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during practice this week.
   The Bearcats had hoped that Wright could blend in quickly, allowing Deonta Vaughn -- their top returning scorer -- to play at shooting guard. Instead, Vaughn will have to move back to the point guard position.
   Last year, junior forward Mike Williams ruptured his Achilles' tendon during preseason workouts and missed the season, a blow to the team's front line. Williams is expected to play this season.

OH SNAP.

Now, this is interesting.  They certainly wanted to play Deonta off the ball... maybe Dion Dixon can spell him.

I want to say this will sink them, but if they can find another way to curtail Vaughn's minutes (if Larry Davis or one of the new guards can score a little), Deonta will still be nice out there.  And won't slump at the end of the year.

I think Reik could be a force but I do think he is a bit overrated as well. One of my friends attended and played at winchendon with him and he said his knees are really bad. So I'm curious as to how this plays out over his career.

I like Cronin as a coach and I think he can help squeak out a few more wins for Cincy.

Deonta really needs to be off the ball for that team to do well.
