Son of an 11-year NBA veteran, names Cincinnati in his final 5 schools

Brandon Bass Jr., son of former NBA player Brandon Bass, announced his final 5 schools, the Cincinnati Bearcats being one of them. Bass Jr. named the Bearcats along with Florida State, Central Florida, Purdue, and LSU

The Bearcats are yet to add a player from the class of 2026, but are in contention for several high-level recruits. Cincinnati is also in contention for another former NBA player's son, Jaxon Richardson, the son of 14-year NBA veteran, Jason Richardson.

Bass Jr. stands at 6-foot-4 and is the No. 81 player in the Class of 2026, No. 12 shooting guard, and No. 16 in Florida.

Bass Jr. has the length and speed to make him a great perimeter player defender but at only 180 pounds, he gets into trouble when matched up inside the paint. He has a tight handle, and a fantastic offensive game, being able to score efficiently at all three levels.

Being the son of a well-known NBA player, Bass Jr. has always been in the limelight and is used to playing under pressure. He is exactly the kind of player you want to see in a Cincinnati Bearcats uniform.
