CINCINNATI — It's Recruiting Roundup time as we focus on the hardwood. Cincinnati continues to go big game hunting under Wes Miller with an offer to four-star 2026 center Latrell Almond out of John Marshall (Virginia).

According to 247Sports, Almond is the 44th-ranked player nationally and fourth-best center.

The 6-8, 205-pound talent holds 17 offers from schools like Florida State and Georgetown.

Next is an offer for four-star 2026 small forward Cornelius Ingram Jr. out of Oak Ridge (Florida).

According to ESPN, Ingram is the 70th-ranked player nationally and the 16th-best small forward.

He holds nine offers from schools like Florida and Arizona State.

Moving to 2027 we have an offer for Isaiah Mack-Russell out of Toledo Central Catholic (Ohio).

There are no major rankings for the class but he's expected to be one of a few candidates for the top spot in the state. The 6-5 talent holds two other offers from Toledo and Liberty.

We finish with an offer for 2027 small forward Babatunde Oladotun out of James Hubert Blake (Maryland).

There are no major 2027 rankings, but Oladotun will be a five-star talent when they start rolling out and potentially the No. 1 player in the class.

The 6-7 weapon holds nine offers from schools like Tennessee and Louisville.
