			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Chad Brendel reported on last night's Bearcat Bounce Podcast that 2026 IMG Academy center Hakeem Weeks (where ex-Bearcat Marcus Sikes is the head coach) is visiting campus.<br />
<br />
Weems is a 6'9, 170 lbs 3-star recruit who is currently ranked 252nd nationally on 247.<br />
<br />
There doesn't appear to be any other news of his visit online, although there was a tweet from last week highlighting CJC's recent visit to IMG Academy.<br />
<br />

<br />
Weems's recruiting page states that he holds offers from Boise State, Georgia State, Navy, and Yale.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sounds like in this article that Panini will help Mercer make decisions about his brand. Makes me wonder if that will also be about what college he goes to. Much like what uniform brand you wear I wonder what other things in the future will be important to be connected to. The B12 brand I think is good but will it matter if you are Topps vs Panini or making this up Coke vs Pepsi?  Would love for the staff to get Mercer. <br />
