Outgoing Portal

For what it’s worth, despite entering the portal, Vik was in attendance at the Kelce event last night hanging with Skillings, Simas, Reed and others. Dancing and having fun. Nice to see.

That to me sounds even more ominous. His bball resume suggests he is more of a pick and roll / midrange to trey shooter as opposed to a wing / slasher / driving to the rim type where he would be doing more cutting stopping twisting and so putting more strain on the ham string. In other words if he hurt a different ham string other than the one that was previously hurt in just the limited time he's been at UC then as much as would like to see him get back into his prime, it just seems like a huge gamble. I hope for his sake that he can be productive this next season.

Hard to get rid of a local with a lot of noted relations. Hopefully he becomes the player he was in high school. Hard to get spring for the jump shot with bad legs. We saw that with CJ's missing shots while he was in last year. Any change in the fluid motion of a jumper usually does not end well. I like CJ a lot and I wonder what he can mean to the team.

Per Chad Brendel, the hammy he hurt this season is a new injury. His prior problem was with the other leg.

Seems like a stretch (no pun intended) for him to come back healthy enough to be much of a contributor.

I don't intend to be snarky either but it seems to me that Fredrick's has just been snakebit with a unmendable hammie. He's been dealing with this going on three years and it just doesn't seem to want to heal.

I know a couple of months ago he said he plans to return. I just hope our medical staff can get him healthy. A healthy CJ would be huge.

Not trying to be snarky, but is there such a thing as a healthy CJ Frederick? At least in the last 3- 4 years? That’s a risky move when we need shooters so badly.

I saw an random internet poster say he was staying because of some NIL contract he just signed but I think that that person is mistaken on the NIL front. I can't find anything he's posted lately about much of anything except a promo he did on Twitter for Cincy Reigns and the New Heights Podcast Show.

it’s just as possible, in this era, that these kids are being pushed out for newcomers.

I posted to wrong thread, sorry.

[Lobot]

Any rumors on the status of CJ Fredrick?

Three now open: Sage,Jamille,Lahkin

[Bearcat93]

Do we have 3 open scholarships at the moment? Sage, CJ & Jamille? John Newman 3 and Ody's scholarships go to the Tylers?

[GoBearcats31]

So we’re now down to one true five. Is CWM counting on Tyler McKinley at 6’9 to be the first big off the bench? That’s a lot to put on a freshman, but we don’t seem to be close on any transfer big man.

We are in the middle of a one week "dead period" that runs through tomorrow. After that, expect kids to start taking visits and a lot more portal activity across the country. It's way too early to get worried (and Sage entering the portal does not affect things -- was just a number/body who wasn't playing even before Aziz and Jamille got cleared).

Sage Tolentino is now in the portal.
