Mitchell is gone. He is transferring to St. John's. Great reporting by boothmark77! I hate that for UC. Best of luck to him though

Looking forward to cheering him on at the Garden next season while wearing my UC gear.
St. John's is going balls to the wall with this transfer class.
Love that they picked up these matchups against Louisville. I would rather the games be at Yum and 5/3, though. Makes for a better environment than the neutral site games in my opinion.

The NIL they’ve made from the Dayton series must be too good to give up.

Both of these venues should be restricted to horse shows and monster truck shows.

I’ll give this a bump. Saw a Rothstein tweet a few days ago saying it was in the works, but just saw the schools made it official. Home and home with UD the next two years; at 5/3 next year and at UD Arena in 2026-27.
Great move. No more games at the trash heap that is US Bank Arena. It also works in UC's favor with the way the home game happens when they're at Cintas in the Shootout and vice versa. Hopefully this series continues for years to come.
Isn't Dayton supposed to be down next year, though?

I assume the two best players will be Bennett at PG and the 7’1 French kid at center. Alter grad Jacob Conner probably plugs in there at the 3/4 or as the 6th guy as a stretch big with the lower end rotational minutes he played last year. Tons of question marks everywhere else IMO and they have to have 4-5 guys emerge between transfers and freshmen to play a lot.
Anthony Grant has gotten a lot of fan heat for perceived underperformance the last 2-3 years. If they take a step or two back and struggle to win 18-20 games and get over .500 in the A10 I could see him either getting run out or calling it quits after next year.
Thanks. Just took a look at their current roster (with the additions) and Bennett + the French guy far and away look like their best players for next season. The Georgia and Iona transfers look like they can both be solid if their development takes that next step.
Lots of question marks after those guys, but Grant deserves some benefit of the doubt. Hopefully Dayton can keep up with the pack as the pay-to-play era hits full swing.

With how things are with NIL I’m somewhat surprised the big French guy didn’t leave; IMO he will be their featured guy next year. He flashed a lot of potential last year as the season went along. He has to be really good for them to be good.
The last 15 or so games last year when he started gradually supplanting ex-Buckeye Zed Key in their lineup he averaged close to 10 points and 5 rebounds. I could see him having a big year and then getting a big pay day to go elsewhere.
Unless something goes way off the rails UD should let Grant coach as long as he wants IMO. Good guy, good representative of the school, and has a strong player development track record that regardless of the NIL should be attractive for recruits. He has a couple solid NBA guys and some guys that have transferred upwards to blue bloods to hang his hat on.
The Cincinnati Bearcats basketball uniforms are tops in the country, according to a fan vote on Uniswag. Cincinnati made the switch to Jordan Brand outfitting in the past few seasons and it's turned into a beloved change.
