Former Bearcat Tari Eason Posts Photo of his old UC Jersey

The SEC Sixth Man of the Year transferred to LSU and exploded with the Tigers.

CINCINNATI — The LSU Tigers are searching for a new head coach and it could spark a reunion in Clifton. SEC Sixth Man of the Year Tari Eason answered Will Wade’s call to leave UC for LSU, but now his coach is gone due to high-level violations as the Tigers get ready for the 2022 NCAA Tournament

The 6-foot-8 forward posted a picture of his old Bearcats uniform this week.

Eason is undoubtedly one of the best players in the country and would be a major boost at the swing forward spot for Cincinnati. That being said, this defines long shot.

The sophomore is a great defender and is shooting 35.5% from deep this season. At his size, and with that shooting stroke, Eason screams NBA first-round pick.

That’s exactly where ESPN has him slotted, as Eason goes off the board at No. 12 in the site’s latest mock draft. It would be shocking if he turns down lottery status and returns to college.
