2024/25 Cincinnati Bearcats

[Walter]

Year two in the Big 12 and the Bearcats should be a preseason top 25 team.

Returning:

6'6 Dan Skillings: 12.5 ppg, 6.5 rpg

6'8 Simas Lukosius: 11.4 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 2.8 apg, 38.5 % 3FG

6'1 Day Day Thomas: 10.1 ppg, 3.4 apg

6'2 Jizzle James: 8.8 ppg

7'1 Aziz Bandaogo: 7.0 ppg, 7.4 rpg

6'6 Josh Reed: 2.2 ppg2.4 rpg

Incoming freshmen:

6'7 Rayvon Griffith: 4* #64 nationally (2023 class- redshirt)

6'8 Tyler Betsey: 4* #41 nationally

6'9 Tyler McKinley: 4* #74 nationally

Incoming transfers:

6'3 Connor Hickman: Leading scorer at Bradley this season - 4* transfer rating

6'11 Arrinten Page: 4* top 60 prospect out of high school

Departing:

John Newman, Ody Oguama, Jamille Reynolds, Vik Lakhin, Sage Tolentino

Cj Fredrick will likely return as well but hasn't posted anything publicly yet.

Regardles, this will be the most talent UC has had on a roster since Mick's 2019 team that earned a two seed in the NCAA tournament.

Fredrick has been playing college basketball for a long time. I know he's had some injuries, but he's been out of HS maybe 7 years???

Should be a good team!

Class of 2018. 

Redshirt freshman year

Redshirt freshman/sophomore year at Iowa

Redshirt junior year- sat out at UK with injury 

Redshirt senior year at UK

Grad year at UC

Has one year of eligibility left with his Covid year...not 100%, but I'd think he could potentially qualify for a medical redshirt as well, if he really wanted it

5* Duke transfer Sean Stewart currently on campus visiting UC. He was teammates with Jizzle James on the AAU circuit for Florida Rebels.

Big time get today with Dillon Mitchell committing.
