Tom,
I know what you're saying here.  I watch the NBA *just because* of the UC 
players.  But it is a shame to know what Kenyon can actually do and see him 
......for whatever reason......not do it.

Your above statement is just one of the IMO.  There is no crashing the boards 
with relentless abandon and the tough nosed rebounding that we all grew 
accustomed to here in Cincinnati. :-(

Don't get me wrong,  I really enjoy watching any of our Cats in the NBA when 
I can.......but as a lover of the game in general,  how can one pick watching 
or attending an NBA game compared to the college game is beyond me.

But that is just my opinion.  The only ones in recent memory at UC that truly 
continued *to play their game* in the NBA are Nick and Danny,  but even in 
those two,  Fortson had to sort of change his game even though anyone who 
watched him long enough knew that he could have had the same game at UC,  
that it was just they really needed his inside scoring presence in college.  
OOooops,  forgot about Rueben,  the NBA is more to his style......I really 
enjoy watching him and Nick. :-)
