Cincinnati Bearcats Land Jayden Hastings

0:00On April 29th, Cincinnati Bearcats just snagged forward, Jaden Hastings for their 20-26-27 roster. First year head coach Jerah Calhoun dropped the news Tuesday. The six-foot-9 forward transfers from Boston College with two full years of eligibility left after logging 62 games over two seasons. Calhoun's pumped about Hastings fitting right into the Big 12 grind from day one. He brings that physical edge up front that the conference demands. Coach sees him as a defensive anchor, ranking 57th nationally in block percentage last year. Learned under solid mentorship at Boston College 2. As a sophomore, Hastings started 29 of 31 games, putting up 6.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game. Shot 61.1% from the field, with multiple double-digit scoring and rebound nights, plus seven games of three or more swats. Bearcats stacking talent early, Hastings could turn their front court into a lockdown unit come next season.
