Four-star guard Kayden Allen has announced his commitment to Cincinnati. Allen chose the Bearcats over California, Georgia Tech and Ole Miss. He is a 6-foot-5 senior at Long Island Lutheran (NY).
“I took an unofficial last year. But I guess they were focused on like, you know, winning, like the season, but ever since l’ve been playing good this summer, they’re back on track, and I’m going to start like that’s going to be a serious option for me. I’m going to schedule an official visit and go from there with them. But me and Coach Wes Miller have a really good relationship, and Coach Chad Dollar.“
Allen recently visited Cincinnati on August 23 and has been Wes Miller and staff’s most-recruited prospect and one of their highest-ranked commits in recent history.
He was one of the biggest stock risers this summer with Team Thad on the Nike EYBL circuit, averaging 20.8 points per game, 3.2 rebounds per game and 2.2 assists per game for his team,
Allen is rated as a four-star recruit and the No. 48. player in the 2026 recruiting class, according to 247Sports.
