Sage Tolentino is now in the portal.

I hope the young man finds a team that will give him playing time. Good luck young man.

He played a year at Hamilton Badin (I think), but is from the island state Hawaii. I get what you're saying, you really never want to run off any kids, especially local - oposing coaches will use it against you on the recruiting trail.

He played at Hamilton High not Badin but yes he's from Hawaii. I don't remember the entire story on how he and his family ended up in Hamilton.

As far as negative recruiting tactics go it exists but it's not anywhere close to football from a local players standpoint. Basketball recruiting is much more geographically spread out.

He went to the Big Blue. Not Badin.

hard to get rid of a local. The local coaches watch.

I seriously doubt that will happen. Didn't mean to imply that at all.

Are you suspecting Wes will cut his scholarship involuntarily?

I have no idea. I think I was expecting everyone to go into the portal at once and that obviously didn't happen. I'm still waiting to see what Sage is going to do. The expectation was that he would be leaving on his own.

Is it going to be a busy Tuesday? Lol

Not this Tuesday (or even next Tuesday). The current D1 basketball dead period (contact only via phone or electronic means) ends at noon Thursday (4/11/24). There will be a short open period, when coaches and players can meet in person, until a new dead period starting next Monday, running through Thursday (4/15/24 - 4/18/24).

This afternoon, I saw an interview with Dan Skillings during UC's baseball game (a victory over TCU). He loves Cincinnati, he loves Wes Miller, and he's not going anywhere.

Also helps when his GF is on the Dance Team.

I believe he has exhausted his eligibility. He was a graduate student in 23-24, his fifth season playing college basketball.

He’s definitely done. No more eligibility
