For those interested, and for what it's worth, bustingbrackets.com has an article ranking all of the incoming MVC recruiting classes. UIC checks in at #10 (of 12).

Probably could’ve been higher had we kept Tyler Stevenson. Also interesting…Drake came in at #8 and they have former UIC signee Bryceson Burns, who de-committed when Yak took over. We’ll see how much this guy hurts us over the next 4 years Btw, we really need to get a replacement for Stevenson. Wonder if we have a shot at Eral Penn…guessing not with the names (er, money) after him. How does this whole Stevenson thing happen anyway? Was he not signed with us? You leave this late in the game, and screw over the team, you sit a year. Remember Eboigbodin? Man that guy had a crap career.

Well he’s a grad transfer so he will be eligible immediately where ever he goes as long as he is admitted into the school (so guessing he was admitting in Mississippi State).
Also I won’t blame the kid if the the coach who recruited him here (Dee) left for another job

The past week has me much more pessimistic on our first season in the MVC.

The Flames offered 6'10" F/C Anthony Robinson of The Christ School. I actually went to YouTube to see his videos, but was too ashamed to post them. They were actually atrocious (you can see for yourself). He is a straight project! Only to be put in to grab rebounds or take his allotted fouls. Who scouted this guy! Actually, he's a '23 recruit.

I didn't look at his video, so I'll take your word for it Chuck. I did see on his twitter account that he's been offered by Duquesne, Missouri State and St. Bonaventure (UIC and 2 other offers came on the same day). I guess when you're 6'-10" and weigh about 230, you'll get some latitude; somebody will take you on as a project. Guys that size don't come around very often.

I’m actually surprised UIC was ranked 10 out of 12 as this was easily best recruiting class Yak has had. Are there anymore open spots on roster?

In terms of actual freshman recruits, I think this is by far coach’s best class ever. I think those rankings that were shared on our board in the MVC board included also transfers. I don’t dislike what we got but I feel like some of our transfers or more projects whereas some of the other transfers within a league or more establish players. I think that’s what gave us a low ranking. If we were talking just straight up freshman I think we deathly be higher

Looks like we quietly added another big to our roster. Bessanty Saragba, a 6-10 freshman C, who appears to have committed a week ago. If he’s been officially added to the roster, why no announcement? Walk-on perhaps?
Not a ton of info out there on him. No idea which schools were interested, if any. Looks like a a project that can help protect the rim and rebound primarily. Assuming this is our replacement for Tyler Stevenson whose production and experience are impossible to replace at this point in the year.

Nothing on Twitter at all from anyone. Just so odd.

Can find absolutely NOTHING on this guy. Nothing on Verbal Commits; Nothing on Rivals; Nothing on YouTube; Nothing on Twitter.
