'It's Been Crazy' - Cincinnati Bearcats Basketball GM Corey Evans Discusses Opening Months in Fresh Role

  Transfer portal madness can be an adjustment for anyone, and new Cincinnati basketball general manager Corey Evans felt that firsthand over the past two months.

He appeared on The Mo Egger Show on ESPN 1530 this week and dove into how he's adjusting to the new role after leaving the newly-minted NBA Champion Oklahoma City Thunder.

"It went right from late March through the portal, which was one of the most crazy, hectic periods of days that I've ever encountered," Evans said on the show. "I hope that does not happen again next year. I can safely say that everyone else in the industry feels the same way, but I'm blessed and lucky this place is it's pretty impressive. What I thought it was, it's even better, times 10, as far as the resources and support. And I'm really, really excited about the people in the building, whether it's the support staff, the coaching staff, the administration, and better yet, the players.

"So yeah, it's been crazy. I feel like I'm finally getting my feet on the ground here a bit, but, man, I'm just ready for the season to start. So ready to get these guys better, and Coach Miller and those guys have done a great job so far, having everything organized and planned out. I'm patiently optimistic here about what we can really have."

Cincinnati has brought in 10 new players to make up the biggest roster overhaul of the Wes Miller era so far.

The team is together in town now and will continue maximizing their team workout chances this summer and gelling as much as possible along the way.
