Cincinnati Bearcats starting point guard Jizzle James has been dismissed from the team as he deals with \u201cpersonal issues,\u201d coach Wes Miller said Tuesday in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cJizzle James has been dealing with personal issues throughout the summer. We removed him from the team last month,\u201d Miller said. \u201cHe is currently not a member of our basketball program. As this is a personal matter, I will have no further comment at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
He boosted his role last year and was Cincinnati\u2019s 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\u2019 35 games last year after primarily coming off the bench in the 2023-24 campaign.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
