CINCINNATI — Wes Miller and Corey Evans have built up another intriguing roster so far in the 2025 college basketball transfer portal. Cincinnati's five additions, plus the incoming top-60 freshmen, have UC ranked 12th on 247Sports's overall roster rankings as of this writing.

The Bearcats added two key pieces on Monday in former UCF center Moustapha Thiam and former Baylor forward Jalen Celestine to go with guard Kerr Kriisa, guard Sencire Harris, and forward Jalen Haynes out of the portal.

Cincinnati is now up to 11 scholarship players out of a possible 15 on the roster. Check out the ranking below, which still has not factored in the addition of Haynes:
