Rayvon Griffith 2023 OH SG 6'7 commit

[GoBearcats31]

Rayvon is a Top 50 recruit attending Taft HS in Cincinnati.


Today (Jan. 17), he went for 28 and 7 rebounds at the Flyin to the Hoop event up in Dayton https://twitter.com/FlyinToTheHoop/s...035650/photo/1 (box). I believe UC staff was on hand.


He recently (Jan. 1) announced a top 10 of Cincinnati, OSU, Kansas, UCLA, Alabama, Penn State, Louisville, Oklahoma State, Arizona State and South Carolina. https://www.on3.com/news/4-star-sg-r...op-10-schools/

Rayvon Griffith was born and raised in Cincinnati and it’s been home his entire life, so you might imagine the Bearcats have made him a priority recruit.

“It’s a great program,” Griffith said. “They’ve been riding me real hard, people in the city and stuff because I’m from Cincinnati. And you know, I’m like a top-level kid so they definitely want to do everything they can to try to keep me in the city.”

With that being said, does Griffith feel any pressure to stay home and attend Cincy? “I don’t think there is any pressure,” Griffith responded. “Whatever decision I end up making, I think my family, friends, and people in the city will respect my decision.”

Cincinnati’s coaching staff had a complete change once Wes Miller was hired as head coach in April of 2021. Obviously, the staff is new to Griffith as well. So, what’s their relationship like now that they’ve gotten to know each other over the last several months? “It’s great,” Griffith said. “They came in and told me I was the one. Ever since then, they’ve been recruiting me hard just trying to build a relationship.”

Opinions are like a..holes.....everybody has one.

Right? It seems every recruit shines less brighter as soon as he becomes a bearcat. And it doesn't help that he's not from the bball center of the world right across the river.

The good old bearcat bounce. Don't waste time worrying about it. these aren't rankings based on their skill. It's about what they want to happen foro their favorite teams.

He didn't commit to a huge landgrant or blue blood. I know y'all know how these rating and star systems work by now.

I figured it might be something like that. Shows how little the ratings mean.

Seems strange that he dropped 23 spots.

I'm a little late to the party on this one, been traveling the past few days..... This is Huge! I'm guessing two years from now, NCAA Tourney Bound once again!

With Rayvon's commitment, 247sports.com moved UC into the #12 slot for team rankings. CWM obviously isn't done, so that ranking should improve.
