Cincinnati has landed a commitment from 4 star wing Zach Harvey. The Topeka, Kansas native visited the Bearcats officially last week and will now join John Brannen’s program as a member of the 2019 class.

Harvey, who is rated the #48 prospect and #9 shooting guard in the country for the 2020 class, but with this move he will join an impressive collection of talent for Brannen on the perimeter that includes AAC Player of the Year Jarron Cumberland, Junior Keith Williams, grad transfer Jaevin Cumberland and a pair of fellow freshmen in Mika Adams-Woods and Jeremiah Davenport.

Harvey does come in with some baggage after pleading no contest to two misdemeanor charges in 2018, but after a thorough vetting process he was admitted into the university on Tuesday, which opened the door for his commitment a day later.

In terms of what Harvey will bring to the program, he is known as a skilled wing that can impact the game with his shot making from all three levels. He is also a prospect with a high basketball IQ that has shown the ability to pass, rebound and defend at a plus level.

Harvey joins Jeremiah Davenport and Mika Adams-Woods as the now three man freshman class in John Brannen’s initial season.
