Cincinnati Bearcats guard Zach Harvey has decided to opt out of the rest of the 2021 season. It seems that Harvey could be a candidate for the transfer portal per reports. The sophomore was a Top 50 recruit in the 2019 class after reclassifying. He played his best stretch of ball before the 25 day shut down earning AAC Weekly Honor Roll and consistently scoring in the previous four games. Playing in 12 games he’s averaging 6.4 points and 1.2 rebounds on 50% from the field and 45.8% from three.

Harvey is not currently in the transfer portal, but is not expected to return to Cincinnati in the future.
Harvey is the #Bearcats third opt out this season—fourth if you include Mamoudou Diarra, who later returned. A 4-star, top-50 recruit, Harvey was a late-summer addition to UC’s 2019 class. He averaged 6.4 pts, 1.2 reb, 0.7 ast in 12 games this season.

If the big time recruit doesn’t return this will be a huge blow to the program, you can see the tools Harvey possesses. TFON will keep an eye on this story!
