Tahirou Siby's Senior Winter Gives DePaul Cristo Rey a Scoring Story
Updated: 15 hours ago
DePaul Cristo Rey • Class of 2027 • Cincinnati-area boys basketball • 2026–27
Tahirou Siby brings one of the area's most substantial returning scoring averages into his senior season. The DePaul Cristo Rey player earned third-team Southwest District recognition after a productive junior winter.
Why the next winter is worth following
The district award announcement credited Siby with 22.0 points per game. That makes him worth following beyond the schools that usually dominate preseason conversation. A returning scorer with that level of responsibility faces a useful next challenge: producing when opponents have both the incentive and the film to focus their coverage around him. A strong season will involve how he responds to that attention as much as the final total.
A high-scoring returner can also give teammates a consistent reference for where the defense is likely to focus. The next step is using that knowledge early enough to create an advantage elsewhere. Siby's previous production makes him an understandable headliner, while the team's response around him will shape the senior story.

Wolfe Sports outlook
Watch what happens after the defense takes away Siby's first preferred option. Can DePaul Cristo Rey find another productive action and bring him back into the possession with an advantage? His junior numbers provide the foundation for the attention. The senior winter offers a chance to make that scoring part of a more dependable team attack.
