This was posted yesterday and probably generated by AI: Cincinnati Bearcats Eye Two Transfer Portal Forwards | Fan Recap

What is this? Both transfers have already been discussed, and one is no longer on the market.

OSU’s Sean Stewart hitting the portal. Considered UC last year. Not great but could help at the 4. Averaged almost 6 and 6.

There's been nothing but tumbleweeds and crickets chirping on the old forum here lately, i.e. hardly any new news at least as far as the transfer portal . Is there anyone in the portal left worth Wes pursuing or has the well dried up so to speak with very little chance to fill the last few roster spots? What do we need two, three?

I thought the portal was only open for an early period of a month or so before closing only to open again at a later time.

Chad Brendel has mentioned a couple times that there isn't much of value left in the portal. He is of the opinion that the staff are looking overseas.

What about Junior colleges?

Hasn't said anything about Junior college I don't think. Overseas is the main area.

Correct, players can no longer enter the portal to leave their current school until next portal session. Players in the portal can sign with a new team any time, even after portal closes.

Wanted to point out this guy, Baba Miller, because We went down to Florida to see him.

Chad said on last night's Bearcat Bounce podcast that we are back in play for him after it previously seemed like he was a lock to return to FAU.

Miller played a lot of PF alongside 7 footer Matas Vokietaitis. Miller posted a 4.5 BPM playing 30 mpg. He made 35% from three on 112 attempts, and 56% effective field goals. Good passing for a big with solid rim protection. Led the Owls in defensive BPM. He would be perfect for our team (and many others). I'd make him the priority if we can afford it.

Great pickup. Fills the last remaining hole on the roster. Gives us length, rim protection, floor spacing, and passing at the 4.

Negative 1.9 BPM. Can't see him beating out anyone for playing time, even before the Baba commit.

The core of the roster seems "set" but wouldn't be the end of the world to add someone to the end of the bench if it made sense for both sides.
