Just visited UC this weekend - apparently went well and he's someone that Wes Miller previously recruited (per Chad Brendel on 4/9 BCJ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGkmYDInf5g)

Welcome Kalu. Welcome to bearcat nation.

Wait, did he commit or is it serious enough that he deserves a dedicated thread?

[GoBearcats31]

He has not committed yet, to my knowledge. But there are a few threads for transfers who didn’t end up seriously considering UC. So why not start one for a potential transfer who actually just was on campus?

I got it. I thought I had missed something.

Apparently I prematurely congratulated. Lol I misread the post thinking its was a done deal. I apologize to all and hope I didn't jeopardize it.

I thought the same thing when I saw a whole thread dedicated.

Sorry that I misled some people :-) .... i believe we usually include "commit" in the title for anyone who actually commits

Yes, that is usually included for committed recruits.

I guess were all (Me) just anxious to hear some news.

Ezikpe (6-foot-8, 240 lbs) played four seasons at ODU, averaging 11.3 points and 7.1 rebounds as a team captain last year. He is utilizing his bonus season of eligibility at Cincinnati in 2022-23.

(via Justin Williams tweet)

Per this article, he's still working on his degree so - not a grad transfer as I indicated in the thread title https://247sports.com/college/cincin...ati-186260647/

[Lobot]

Edited the thread title a bit to fix some of that

[GoBearcats31]

I've seen some of the national guys (Goodman, Borzello, Rothstein) tweet the absolute most random transfer news, such as a Wofford freshman averaging 2.9 ppg heading to UC Riverside. Would be nice to get some publicity for actually relevant Cincinnati adding a solid C-USA transfer, but probably won't.
