Christopher Columbus High School forward and 2026 5-star recruit Jaxon Richardson should be a top priority for the Cincinnati Bearcats staff!

Following an impressive sophomore campaign, Richardson is scheduled to compete in the high school nationals in Indiana in the coming days.

Richardson received an offer from the Bearcats coaching staff last July and is the son of former Michigan State star guard Jason Richardson.

Other potential targets playing in the upcoming tournament consist of 2026 5-star guard Dylan Mingo and 2026 5-star forward Tyran Stokes.

Mingo is the top rated recruit from New York in the 2026 class with offers from Dayton, Florida State, Oklahoma State, St. John's and others.

Stokes is a Louisville product that transferred to Prolific Prep in California and is now the highest rated prospect in the 2026 class via 247 Sports.

Wes Miller's coaching staff will certainly keep an eye on multiple talented prospects as the annual event comes to Indiana for the first time ever!
