 Cincinnati's seventh transfer portal entry of the week dropped on Tuesday as star forward Dillon Mitchell plans to search for other options. 247Sports's Travis Branham reported the news with Mitchell leaving open a return to Cincinnati.

The 6-8, 205-pound forward transferred into Cincinnati from Texas last offseason and averaged 9.9 points and 6.9 rebounds per game at UC. He started all 35 games this season and was Cincinnati's best all-around player throughout the whole campaign.

Mitchell's potential exit leaves Cincinnati with just two frontcourt players firmly in the fold: Redshirt freshman Tyler McKinley and Halvine Dzellat.
