TicketsCINCINNATI – The Cincinnati men’s basketball team has signed four-star guard Kayden Allen for the 2026-27 season, head coach Wes Miller announced Friday. The 6-foot-5 Allen is playing his senior year at Long Island Lutheran High School.
“We are extremely excited to welcome Kayden and his mom, Krystal, to the Cincinnati Bearcats’ basketball family,” Miller said. “Kayden is someone we have recruited for close to his entire high school career. Not only is Kayden talented, he is skilled, smart, tough and versatile. His strong work ethic gives me great belief that he will only continue to improve in the years ahead and be someone our fanbase will come to love and support.”
Allen previously starred at Montverde (Fla.) Academy and was invited to the 2024 USA Basketball Men’s Junior National Team October minicamp. He averaged 20.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists playing for Team Thad at the Nike EYBL Peach Jam this past summer.
