Cincinnati Bearcats starting point guard Jizzle James has been dismissed from the team as he deals with “personal issues,” coach Wes Miller said Tuesday in a statement.
“Jizzle James has been dealing with personal issues throughout the summer. We removed him from the team last month,” Miller said. “He is currently not a member of our basketball program. As this is a personal matter, I will have no further comment at this time.”

James, 20, is the son of Edgerrin James, a Hall of Fame running back who played 11 seasons in the NFL. A 6-foot-3, 195-pounder from Orlando, Fl., the younger James debuted with the Bearcats in the 2023-24 campaign, where he primarily came off the bench in a supporting role, playing 37 games while averaging 8.8 points and 2.1 assists per game.
He boosted his role last year and was Cincinnati’s top scorer and a productive playmaker, averaging 12.7 points and a team-best 3.5 assists per game. He scored a career-high 25 points against Utah last season, notching double figures in 25 of the Bearcats’ 35 games last year after primarily coming off the bench in the 2023-24 campaign.
The Bearcats won 22 games last year, finishing 7-13 in their first season of Big 12 play, ultimately missing the NCAA tournament for a sixth consecutive season.

Hierarchie, Kultur, Mitarbeiter – Gladbach erfindet sich NEU
