7 - Keyshuan Tillery
10 - Shon Abaev
11 - Kerr Kriisa
18 - Baba Miller

https://gobearcats.com/sports/mens-b...roster/2024-25

New roster showing:
- Tyler McKinley and Halvine Dzellat up 15 lbs. each
- Sencire Harris up 1 lb. from his WVU bio
- Jalen Haynes down 10 lbs. from his George Mason bio
- Jalen Celestine up 10 lbs. from his Baylor bio
- Shon Abaev listed at 6'8 (he was 6'7 per various recruiting sites)
- Addition of Grant Darbyshire (#13), a former Kentucky walk on via Sycamore High School

They really need to add a couple more practice bodies for scout squad purposes. That would bring the Cats back to 15 roster members.

Photos went up on social media yesterday from UC's summer workouts

Exciting to see, but also funny trying to figure out who some of the new guys are

[swilsonsp4]

YES I know he did with Thiam . I was referring to the Big Miller who came after N'Daiye was on board. Did he have any influence on that signing. Will he have any effect on other bigs by being here and ex NBA.

Don't know at this point. There apparently was a lot of wheeling-and-dealing going on at the last minute to sway Miller UC's way. Money certainly was a big part of it, but no one has hinted whether N'Daiye played a major role or not. We may never know, as these matters are handled as discreetly as possible.

[leo from jersey]

N'Daiye certainly had a major role in getting Thiam here. That was the staff's primary focus in hiring N'Daiye. The fact that he can coach bigs is a bonus.
