6'3 combo guard Connor Hickman chose the Cincinnati Bearcats over his hometown Indiana Hoosiers. Last season with Bradley, Hickman averaged 14 ppg and shot 40% from three. He was a third-team Missouri Valley Conference selection.

Hickman will have one remaining year of eligibility and fills the Bearcats 11th scholarship. The Cats have two remaining scholarships, assuming CJ Fredrick is returning. He's yet to announce.
