Cincinnati Bearcats add guard Tylen Riley from Tulsa to fold

After visiting the Cincinnati Bearcats, then taking an additional visit to Oklahoma, guard Tylen Riley from Tulsa has committed to UC and new coach Jerrod Calhoun.

Riley made his announcement on April 22 on the CBS College Basketball YouTube channel. Riley had a 4-star transfer portal rank via 247Sports. Riley wore a No. 10 pendant in the appearance, which was somewhat awkward as he couldn't initially hear the host.

Seven minutes into the event, Riley could hear and talked about his recruitment before the video went black.

"I can only go to one school out of all these amazing schools," Riley said. "I will be a Cincinnati Bearcat."

Putting on a UC hat he said he loved the fanbase and the coaches and he didn't want to leave after making his visit.

"I really feel like we can make a run," Riley said. "I love his (Jerrod Calhoun's) coaching style. I feel like they're all players, coaches. He has a good history. That's the school I want to play for, a coach that knows how to win."

In his last game, April 5, he had 20 points in Tulsa's overtime loss to Auburn in the NIT championship.
