Cincinnati has landed Baylor transfer Jalen Celestine.

The 6-foot-7 native of Ontario, Canada averaged 7.1 points and 3.5 rebounds last season on 38% shooting.

“I’m excited to get on campus and get to work,” Celestine said.

Celestine joins Kentucky transfer guard Kerr Kriisa, West Virginia transfer guard Sencire Harris and UCF big man Moustapha Thiam. They are also adding four-star wing Shon Abaev and four-star guard Keyshaun Tillery.
