Mike Saunders Jr. was the first player John Brannen offered a scholarship to when he was hired as University of Cincinnati men's basketball coach in April 2019.
Now, after one season with Brannen, the 6-foot freshman guard is looking to leave.
A source confirmed to The Enquirer on Tuesday that Saunders is planning to enter the transfer portal.
Fellow Cincinnati freshman guard Gabe Madsen, who opted out of the remainder of the season in December, entered the portal on Monday.
Saunders averaged 3.5 points and 1.4 assists this season. The Indianapolis native started 10 of UC's last 12 games after beginning the season as a reserve.
