UC Basketball Offers Five-Star 2026 Forward T.J. Crumble

CINCINNATI — UC basketball is after one of the 20 best players in the 2026 class. Wes Miller & Co. offered five-star power forward T.J. Crumble out of Lutheran East (Ohio).

According to ESPN, Crumble is the 18th-best player in the class and the seventh-best power forward.

He holds 11 offers from schools like Georgia Tech and Illinois. Crumble told Stockrisers Jake Weingarten this week that he'll visit UC Aug. 9-11.

Pace, pace, pace drives Crumble's game as a great player in transition.

He should fit seamlessly in Miller's uptempo system with great movement in those chaotic scenarios. Crumble attacks the rim with a nice dribble-move package and can bring devastating muscle in the pick-and-roll.

At 6-foot-7, 180 pounds, Crumble has all the makings of a high-level wing in the Big 12.

He and guard Marcus Johnson are the only five-star 2026 talents in Ohio and UC is involved with both.
