The JUCO center from Hutchinson community college was the first verbal commitment on Mick Cronin’s 2014 class but the last to sign. Today anyways, as there is still one more scholarship to give in the class. But back to DeBerry, the 6’9″ 270 lbs center gives the Bearcats an immediate size advantage in the post the likes of which Cincinnati hasn’t seen since Yancy Gates. Given the loss of Justin Jackson and David Nyarsuk, he should get plugged in right away next season.
