Pinging The Portal: UC In Contact With Two Freshman Guards

CINCINNATI — Some more notable UC noise out of the transfer portal as the program continues to peruse its options.

St. John's transfer guard AJ Storr (8.8 Pts, 1.9 Reb, 0.8 Ast) has reportedly heard from Cincinnati. The 6-foot-6 guard shot 40.4% from deep on 2.8 tries per game en route to Big East All-Freshman honors last season.

He has three years of eligibility left and could be a nice entrenched piece of the Bearcats Big 12 plans.

On3 has Storr ranked 50th among all the players currently in the portal.

Hoping to see Syracuse target ST Johns freshman transfer AJ Storr. He could provide Syracuse with second side shot creation and shooting from the wings that the team lacked at times this past year. His touch from all three levels is incredibly impressive. https://t.co/z9cHy0YFxY pic.twitter.com/7naGMkfj3z

Next, we have reported contact for another freshman guard in Washington's Keyon Menifield (10.0 Pts, 2.9 Reb, 3.1 Ast).

Menifield cracked the Pac-12 All-Freshman team this past season, as he posted top-10 assist numbers in the conference. The 6-foot-1, 170-pound guard would be an instant spark to the UC offense.

He has three years of eligibility left and is On3's 18th-best transfer available.

Instantly becomes one of the top targets available. Keyon Menifield Jr. was the PAC-12 freshman of the year, averaged 10 ppg, 3.1 apg, and had the best assist to turnover ratio among all Pac12 freshman.
