The pressure has been on all spring for college basketball programs, with coaches working tirelessly to assemble the best possible rosters ahead of the 2025–26 season.

One of the latest big moves comes from ESPN’s Jonathan Givony and DraftExpress, who reported that FAU transfer Baba Miller has committed to Cincinnati, according to agents Guillermo Bermejo and Deirunas Visockas.
Miller, a 21-year-old from Spain, began his collegiate career at Florida State.
After two seasons with the Seminoles (2022–24), he transferred to Florida Atlantic for the 2024–25 season. He’s now headed to Cincinnati to play for head coach Wes Miller.

His final game with the Owls came in an 86–79 loss to Dayton on March 19, where he posted 16 points and 7 rebounds. He averaged 11.3 points per game with FAU.
Before his college career, Miller was part of Real Madrid’s youth team that won the 2020–21 Euroleague Basketball Next Generation Tournament.
Cincinnati’s transfer activity has been busy this offseason. The Bearcats lost Tyler Betsey, Arrinten Page, C.J. Anthony, Dillon Mitchell, Dan Skilling Jr. and Josh Reed to the portal.
In addition to Miller, the Bearcats added Jalen Celestine, a 6-foot-6 guard from Baylor, and Moustapha Thiam from UCF.
