Following a back and forth battle with the NCAA, Cincinnati Bearcats center Jamille Reynolds was finally cleared to make his long-awaited debut!

Reynolds joined Cincinnati in the summer but has been ineligible until all two-time transfers were granted a waiver for the rest of the year.

The former Temple center is expected to make his debut for the Bearcats in a highly-anticipated matchup against the Dayton Flyers on Saturday.

Wes Miller's team should get a significant boost from Reynolds returning to the court as he adds much-needed depth to the Bearcats frontcourt.
