Kameron Mercer, the No. 16 overall recruit in the class of 2028, has committed to Cincinnati and will reclassify to the Class of 2027, he told 247Sports.

The 6-foot-4 shooting guard, a Cincinnati native, recently moved back home to finish his high school career at Princeton High.

“It means everything to me and my family to stay home for college,” Mercer said. “I’m just ready to help this program get back to where it should be.”
