CINCINNATI — UC and Wes Miller have another key official visit this week. The team is welcoming 2025 shooting guard EJ Walker out of Lloyd Memorial (Kentucky) to town for his first official trip to Clifton.

Cincinnati has yet to offer Walker but he holds offers from Youngstown, Northern Kentucky, Ohio, Toledo, and Duquesne. He is rising fast on the AAU circuit this summer and figures to be one of the top guards in Kentucky when rankings start to shake out for the 2025 class.

Walker can be a physical force as a 6-foot-7 two guard. He has a strong package of face-up and back-to-the-basket moves in the post and on the wing.

He uses his size really well as an incoming sophomore and should have the flexibility to keep growing against bigger competition. He has a bit of a shotput type of jumper on catch-and-shoot attempts, but that form can get tweaked in the coming years.

Cincinnati is also showing interest in 2024 Lutheran East (Ohio) forward Jesse McCullough after offering him this weekend.

According to Rivals, McCullough is a three-star player in the 2024 class. He has 13 offers now from schools like Wisconsin, Xavier, and Ohio.

There isn't much film on the 6-foot-8, 190-pound McCullough, but he's another fast riser on the summer AAU circuit. He continues the trend of Wes Miller's staff being in the mix with the best prospects in the state.
