CINCINNATI — The Bearcats have found their first transfer addition of the year. Old Dominion forward Kalu Ezikpe is committing to Cincinnati.

Ezipke had the Bearcats among his final six candidates for a new school. The choices included LSU, Western Kentucky, Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Pitt.

The 6-foot-8 senior averaged 11.3 points and 7.1 rebounds last season—to go with 1.1 blocks. Ezipke was a top-10 overall rebounder in Conference USA in 2021-22. He is nice addition as an efficient scorer near the basket and lengthy defender on the other end. He finished ninth among C-USA players in Player Efficiency Rating (22.7).

According to Evan Miya, Ezipke was the 109th-ranked transfer overall and the 21st-ranked power forward. Ezikpe is entering his final year of eligibility.
