Cincinnati Basketball: Bearcats add Utah Valley veteran center Aziz Bandaogo from transfer portal

After displaying intriguing potential during his sophomore campaign, former Utah Valley center Aziz Bandaogo announced his commitment to the Cincinnati Bearcats on Saturday!

Bandaogo became one of the most sought-after transfers due to his elite athleticism, size and shot-blocking ability that helped him secure the WAC Defensive Player of the Year.

The veteran big man began his career at Akron before breaking out with Utah Valley last season, averaging a career-best 11.7 points and 10.4 rebounds in 29.4 minutes per game.

Wes Miller’s staff saw just how effective Bandaogo can be as the former Utah Valley center compiled 15 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks during a win over Cincinnati in March.
