Sage has worked hard and cheered hard. His frane just didn't add the muscle mass needed.

A Wes connection and reco?

I don't think there's a connection between Wes and the staff there. I'd be shocked if Sage didn't get a positive referral.

Is Sage the first of Wes' high school recruits to transfer in his three recruiting classes? Also, is Arrinten the first guy who considered UC as a Wes recruit to transfer in?

I think that depends if you want to include the guys that came over from UNCG when he was hired. Hensley and McGinnis were HS recruits of his technically. Other than that I think you're correct.

Wow. What is going on with the UC big men? Since Miller has been the coach, he has brought in eight (8) center / forward types. Only one has been halfway productive; Aziz (rebounding and shot-blocking). Now three of the four big men that are still eligible are jumping ship. Can the big men thrive in Miller's system? This post is not meant to be critical of Miller, but the facts are what they are. Can the big men be productive in Miller's system? Lakhin (not a Miller recruit) had some very good games and Reynolds had a decent moment or two. However, overall, UC have not gotten much out of the pure forwards / centers since Miller has been the coach. Is there a reason why? Maybe McKinley will change all of that. Hopefully. If not, UC may have problems attracting quality big men in the future.

Cool to hear -- still a student at UC, no reason not to think he'd stay close with the guys. Ultimately, he's leaving for a better opportunity for him. No bad blood.

Mamoudou Diarra loves UC despite transferring out his last year. DeShaun Morman was on the UC TBT team last summer despite leaving after his sophomore year (if nothing else, was still friends with old teammates). Jeremiah Davenport had nothing but good things to say about UC/Wes last year... and I expect Lakhin to remain a Bearcat through it all.

they all now know that it is a business and so a comradery among the independent agents.

Viktor Lakhin 247 crystal ball to Clemson. Good for him if that’s where he lands.

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.
