Former Cincinnati Bearcats forward Dan Skillings Jr. is in Kansas City, Missouri, for Big 12 Media Day for Men's College Basketball. Skillings was asked about many things, but one question stood out from the rest: "What's that gonna be like, going back to your first home?"
"Cincinnati is a forever home for me," Said Skillings. "I feel like when the basketball is done dribbling, I will truly live in Cincinnati," Skillings noted that he has family just outside of Cincinnati and would spend a lot of time there outside of his home in Blackwood, New Jersey.
"It's going to be a lot of fun going back to that arena and [see] the fans that I love so much with or without the hate," Said Skillings. "It will be exciting to play there... if they boo me, I love them, and they will boo me, I know that." The Baylor Bears travel to Fifth Third Arena on January 28th, where Scott Drew's brand new roster will try and spoil the Bearcats. Skillings did want Cincinnati fans to know one thing:
"Just know I did it for my future."
