UC Bearcats basketball transfer portal tracker | Rumors, commitments

The NCAA basketball transfer portal opened Tuesday, April 7 and runs through April 30. It’s a dead period with no visits permitted until April 10. In-person and off-campus evaluations are permitted April 10-30. From May 1 to June 30, in-person, on-campus visits are permitted during the “quiet period.”

An evaluation period takes place from May 8 to 10 at the NBA G-League Combine and continues until May 17 for NCAA-certified events. Last season, UC signed Kerr Kriisa and Sencire Harris in early April, but did not come up with an agreement for Baba Miller until mid-May.

Abaev was the first of the current Bearcats to leave, with his departure announced by On3 Sports on Monday, April 6, the day before the transfer portal actually opened.

Cincinnati Bearcats guard Shon Abaev (10) makes a three pointer over Arizona Wildcats forward Koa Peat (10) Jan. 21 in Tucson. Abaev was UC’s first 2025-26 player in the portal.

The McDonald’s All-American was UC’s highest-ranked recruit since Lance Stephenson (dating back to when such rankings began). Abaev started with a bang with 15 points in the 100-98 exhibition win over Michigan, then had 18 points in his debut vs. Western Carolina. He had 18 vs. NJIT but lost his starting job in late December. In the Big 12 he had 13 points in 19 minutes at Arizona. Abaev averaged seven points and 2.9 rebounds and shot just 26% from the perimeter.

The 6-foot-8 guard would likely still get looks based on potential. He did spend some of the latter half of the season injured.
