Campbell’s Arrival Could Shake Up Big 12 | College Basketball News

Cincinnati just pulled off a major coup by landing Javontae Campbell, the MAC Defensive Player of the Year and a steal-worthy guard who averaged 18.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.1 assists while leading NCAA in steals at 3 per game. Standing 6’2”, Campbell brings elite defense, efficient scoring (50% FG), and playmaking to the Bearcats’ backcourt alongside Trevian Cannon. With potential for multiple seasons of eligibility and recent Summer League exposure with the Sixers, he’s poised to be a game-changer — especially as Cincinnati aims to break its NCAA Tournament drought. Preseason practices are already ramping up as the team fills roster spots and eyes a Big 12 run. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
