Mike Saunders Jr., a freshman guard this past season for the Cincinnati Bearcats who entered the NCAA transfer portal in March, tweeted a video Friday indicating that he will be returning to UC to play for new head coach Wes Miller.
On Thursday, Saunders posted on Instagram that he wouldn't be announcing his commitment as previously expected. Stockrisers.com's Jake Weingarten had reported Monday via Twitter that Saunders completed virtual meetings with Wichita State and BYU and would make his college choice on Thursday. Saunders retweeted it.
Saunders was one of six UC players in a three-day span to enter the transfer portal.
