Tony Bobbitt Has High D-1 Interest
Cincinnati is taking a serious look at Tony Bobbitt, an ultra talented 6-4 shooting guard from the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls, Id.
JUCO Junction/Rivalshoops.com recently caught up with CSI Asst. Coach Jay Cyriac, and he informed us that Bearcats Head Coach Bob Huggins has personally called the office to express his interest in Bobbitt.

A tremendously gifted offensive player, Bobbitt had committed to Florida State out of high school in Daytona Beach, Fla. He attended the same high school as current Toronto Raptor Vince Carter, which is Mainland H.S. in Daytona Beach.
Bobbitt failed to qualify out of Mainland, and headed off to prep school in Virginia for the 1999-2000 school year. However, he did not last more than a month in prep school, and transferred to Tallahassee C.C. in Florida, where he was unable to earn his GED.
Bobbitt resurfaced last fall at CSI, where he was able to earn his GED. He played last season for the Golden Eagles, and averaged 10.4 points and 3.2 rebounds per game on a deep and sophomore laden team.
According to Cyriac, Florida State and Cincinnati are the most serious suitors for Bobbitt. He added that Missouri and Louisiana State have also expressed some interest in the talented two guard, while Iowa State and Minnesota are the two newest schools in the mix.
What makes Bobbitt so difficult to defend is his unlimited range from beyond the three point arc, excellent size and ball handling skills plus athleticism. He truly has the total offensive package and is very dangerous in CSI's up tempo style of play.
Bobbitt is not expected to sign until the spring, so JUCO Junction will keep you posted on his recruitment throughout the winter months.
