Cincinnati is also welcoming in four-star 2025 guard Jalen Reece out of Oak Ridge (Florida) for an official visit next weekend.

Sam Lance Reported the news after Reece put Cincinnati in his top-seven schools earlier this summer.

Cincinnati is in the mix with Dayton, LSU, Ohio State, Penn State, Providence, and USF. According to 247Sports, Reece is ranked 67th nationally and 11th among point guards.

The 6-foot guard displays consistent scoring ability as an active decision-maker at all three levels of the floor. He can turn defense into offense quickly, a Cincinnati hallmark.
