Strickland to Cincy

Josh Verlin has the scoop that Jamaree Strickland just gave a verbal to Cincinnati and Coach Mick Cronin. The Bearcats are members of the Big East Conference.

Strickland is at Queen City Prep (Charlotte, North Carolina) this season.

Verlin also writes that Houston also recently offered the former McClymonds High big.

Congrats to Jamaree, especially so for overcoming his injury.
