    @DraftExpress: "@DraftExpress: NEWS: Baylor transfer Jalen Celestine has committed to Cincinnati, Mike Simonetta of Life Sports Agency tells ESPN. The Ajax, Ontario native is a career 38% 3-point shooter with 109 games of high-major experience."

    The 6'7, 215 lb. Canadian was at Cal for four years, which included missing 22-23 (recovering from offseason knee surgery) before averaging 8.7 points in 23-24. He transferred to Baylor this past year, where he posted 7.1 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, starting in about 1/3 of Baylor's contests (8 and 7 versus UC). Jalen is coming off a 38% / 35.4% / 76.9% season -- with career numbers including 35.4% from 3 and 76.9% from the FT line, though hasn't gotten to the line much. His best Big 12 game was 18 points, 7 rebounds against Kansas State. He played in 33 minutes of Baylor's first round NCAA win (6 and 8) and hit a 3 in 20 minutes versus Duke in round two. Jalen played high school ball at Long Island Lutheran (NY), which has produced a lot of D1 talent including VJ Edgecombe (Baylor) and Syracuse-bound Kiyan Anthony.

    I love his experience, and am as excited to have him as a player as I am to have him mentor Shon and the other younger guys. Welcome to the Bearcat Family Mr Celestine.
    Red and Black are more of an Attitude than merely a color combination.
