Season Outlook

The 2025-2026 Men’s Basketball team will be a young team that only features 3 seniors. The team will be lead by senior Luke Shaw (who is coming back from an ACL injury but started as a sophomore), senior Ashton Washburn (one of the elite defenders in the city) and sophomore Brady Bowman (one of the most skilled point guards in Cincinnati). Along with those guys we have 3 players who earned limited but valuable minutes last season in J.J. Smith, Brody Hayes, and Isaiah King.
