This is an interesting one. We were going to offer Moss coming out of high school when Brannen was coaching UC. He was a non qualifier and ended up at Spire Academy for a prep school year. We went through a coaching change and forgot about him. Full circle.

UC among many schools to have expressed interest in 6’3 Stanford freshman Kanaan Carlyle, an Atlanta native and one of the best names in the portal so far

The former top 60 recruit averaged 11.5 / 2.7 / 2.7 this year

Carlyle was offered by UC out of high school in 2021. He ended up at Overtime Elite and then moved on to Stanford. Chad Dollar should be really familiar with him due to Carylyle being from the Atlanta area. I know we had a thread on him at one point but I think it got wiped out during the site hack a while back.

Well, knew this was coming.

One time UC recruit Paul McMillan IV is entering the portal. 8.3 ppg at Central Michigan, his second school in two years. Here is to #3…

6’2 NKU guard (and all-time leading scorer) Marques Warrick putting his name in the draft and the portal. He’d have one year left.

This guy gets to the rim A TON. Almost 7 times per game. And he has the highest usage rate and second best defensive box plus minus on Toledo. I'd take him for sure.

Sasa Ciani is #3 XU player in the portal - I don't even know who these dudes are

#4 - and biggest hit yet: Abou Ousmane (6.7 and 6.4, had a double double in the Crosstown Shootout)

All good players come from Springfield, OH, my hometown. 😁 I am with sedz - good player who I think improved after entering college. Take him if you can get him.

Iowa State has added 6'11 center Dishon Jackson -- Jackson was at Washington State for three years (one was a medical redshirt season) and averaged 11.4 points and 6.1 rebounds this past year at Charlotte. He should have two years of eligibility.

Turns out we did offer Moss out of HS.....as an Outside Linebacker. That should give you an idea on his build.

Potentially interesting name headed to the portal -- Mike James, a 6'5 sophomore guard who averaged 12.6 points and 5.0 rebounds for Louisville.

UC previously offered James in high school (possibly the prior UC staff). He played at Oak Ridge HS, which is coached by Cincinnati native Steven Reece who was the AAU coach of Jizzle James (and dad of UC 2025 recruit Jalen Reece).

[GoBearcats31]

Furman wing Alex Williams (Xenia, OH / Moeller High School) is portaling. As a junior this season, he averaged 13.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and shot a hair under 40% from three on 148 attempts.

Listed at 6'5, 235 (a bigger/wider Jarron Cumberland).

I forgot that UC offered him a scholarship for football. Good catch Lobot.

Here is an interesting one:

South Carolina star 6'2 guard Meechie Johnson (14.1 ppg, 4.1 rpg, apg) from Cleveland is portaling.

Spent two uneventful years at Ohio State, two very solid years at South Carolina, and appears to have one "COVID year" left.

The name rings a bell and it looks like he'd be an incoming Junior. We offered him early in 2020.
