The Cincinnati Bearcats have made a significant splash in the transfer portal, securing a commitment from Wake Forest guard Myles Colvin. The 6-foot-5 sharpshooter announced his decision to join new head coach Jerrod Calhoun's program, marking a major early win for the revamped Bearcats.
Colvin brings proven scoring ability and valuable experience to Cincinnati. In his season at Wake Forest, he averaged 11.6 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, showcasing an efficient shooting stroke by hitting 36% from three-point range and an impressive 87% from the free-throw line. His offensive explosiveness was on full display in games like his 33-point outburst against Queens University and a 32-point performance versus Syracuse.
Perhaps most intriguing is the championship pedigree Colvin adds to the roster. Before his time at Wake Forest, he spent two seasons at Purdue and played 12 minutes in the 2023-24 NCAA National Championship game against UConn. This experience in the sport's brightest spotlight is an intangible asset that can't be taught.
Adding to the compelling storyline, athleticism runs in the family. Myles is the son of former Purdue standout and two-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots, Roosevelt Colvin. This acquisition signals an exciting new chapter for Bearcats basketball as Coach Calhoun builds his foundation with high-caliber, battle-tested talent.
