Hicks, who signed a one-day contract with the minor league squad (it's even more minor league than the Terrell Owens-led Allen Wranglers!), is slated to play in the April 28 home opener against the Marion Blue Racers, and the 6-foot-7, 250-pounder who averaged 15 points and 9.7 rebounds per game during his senior season for the Bearcats in 2005-06 is excited about the opportunity.

In the past year, Hicks has played in Spain, Israel and China, and in that last stop, he averaged 18 points and 11 rebounds per game.
