CINCINNATI — Wes Miller has his 2024-25 squad as Texas transfer Dillon Mitchell picked Cincinnati as his new basketball home.

BREAKING: Texas transfer forward Dillon Mitchell, a former 5⭐️ recruit, has committed to Cincinnati, he tells @On3sports.

The 6-8 sophomore also considered Miami, Auburn, among others. Averaged 9.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game this season. https://t.co/uYBUYfq6AZ pic.twitter.com/yW1ijMOvzK

Trilly Donovan first reported a visit earlier this month as Cincinnati got their guy with the final scholarship spot. The 6-8, 205-pound versatile sophomore posted 9.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game last season on 58.5% shooting.

Mitchell is a switching frontcourt piece that can guard multiple positions and play with major energy on both ends of the floor. He doesn't offer an outside shot right now, but UC already has plenty of shooting on the roster and Mitchell can be a punishing force around the rim.

He should fit in perfectly as the frontcourt piece Cincinnati needed to balance its roster.

The former five-star player was ranked fourth by ESPN in the Class of 2022 and has two years of eligibility left. He rounds out the best roster of the Wes Miller era as Cincinnati guns for Big 12 title contention and an NCAA Tournament breakthrough.

Check out his highlights here.
