Look: Cincinnati Bearcats Basketball Among Three-Best Big 12 Transfer Overhauls

 The Bearcats have brought in some strong talent to reshape the roster under Wes Miller, entering the highest-pressure season of his college coaching career.

Miller and general manager Corey Evans have done just about all they can to set up the roster best to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time this decade. According to Evan Miyakawa's transfer player rankings, Cincinnati is one of three Big 12 schools, along with Baylor and West Virginia, that brought in five-plus top-300 transfers during the 2025 cycle.

All of Cincinnati's talents are in the top-270, highlighted by Moustapha Thiam at No. 29. One or two more additions should fully round out a rotation that will only feature Day Day Thomas and Jizzle James as experienced returning talents.
