Recruiting Roundup: Bearcats Basketball Enters Four-Star Forward’s Top-8 Schools

We are back with another Recruiting Roundup this week as the Bearcats basketball program cracks a new top schools list. Rivals’ Joe Tipton reports four-star 2027 Brentwood (Tennessee) power forward Davis Cochran has Cincinnati in his top eight schools.

He just visited earlier this summer during a June trip and is ranked 154th nationally on 247Sports, while being 24th among power forwards. The Tennessee native is down to UC, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Kansas State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Clemson.
