Fellow guard Mason Madsen also entered the portal alongside Saunders and could join him in Utah. Madsen's brother, Gabe, is a current member of the Utah roster.

Saunders averaged 7.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game in 33 games. The season included a career-high 20 points in a win against then-No. 14 Illinois in the Hall of Fame Classic last November.

Cincinnati is yet to add a player from the portal but has been talking to roughly 20 players in limbo so far.
