young UC Irvine guard with size, local roots, and developmental upside
In the 2024-25 season, Tishan Ahir was a freshman guard for UC Irvine who appeared in 11 games and logged limited minutes, so the box score is still a teaser rather than the full story.[1][2] What stands out is the foundation: a Southern California product, four-year scholar-athlete, and all-academic type who fit into a winning Anteater program right away.[3][4] He looks like a long-term fit for teams that value composure, coachability, and guard development more than instant-volume production.[3][4]
