Cincinnati Bearcats land commitment from 7-1, 220-pound center Hayden Koval

Wes Miller needed more size, length and rim protection on his roster, and he got it Thursday night.

The newly hired University of Cincinnati men's basketball coach landed a commitment from 7-foot-1, 220-pound senior center Hayden Koval.

Koval announced he will follow Miller from UNC Greensboro, where he played for Miller last season and helped the Spartans to a 21-9 record, the Southern Conference regular season and tournament championships and a NCAA tournament berth.

Koval, who played his first two collegiate seasons at Central Arkansas, has averaged 10.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in 128 career games.
