CINCINNATI — The Bearcats are 7-0 this season as they look to make an NCAA Tournament run in their first year in the Big 12 conference.

Head coach Wes Miller has brought in plenty of talent during his first few seasons at Cincinnati. He's hoping to add to it in 2024.

The Bearcats have two four star recruits committed to the program in Tyler Betsy and Tyler McKinley. Couple that with four-star freshmen that are on the roster in Jizzle James and Rayvon Griffith and it's easy to see why there's optimism around the present and the future of the program.

Miller gave credit to Bob Huggins and Mick Cronin when asked about recruiting.

"The credit needs to go to the people that came before us," Miller said on SiriusXM. "What Coach Huggins did here. What Mick Cronin did here. They made Cincinnati a national brand and those teams made Cincinnati a national brand."

Miller also made it clear that the Bearcats transition to the Big 12 has helped them in their pursuit of their top targets.
