Week 1 of recruiting:
Star SG Kurt Sngcuacy signed with WVU.
I'm not thrilled with the backup options. I decide to look at PG Christiano Bitee from Cameroon. He is small at 5'8 173, but he is a 4 star player who my scouts think is a dynamic defensive player...
I'm the only team still pursuing Ledell Sorenson, so he is the backup if I don't like what I see when we look closer at Bitee.
Week 2: I like what I see of Bitee, I decide to offer him a scholarship, but I'll continue to pursue backup plans stateside.
One of the backup plans that I really liked, Leighton Gibson just signed with FSU
He was from Florida and was a longshot for us anyway.
Week 3:
Tennessee drops out of their pursuit of Bitee. We move way up on his list! I haven't been able to visit him in person, so this is definitely a risky move..
Week 4:
Decision time. Other teams are honing in our backup plans including my new favorite backup, Lynwood Sarchet. He is a 6'1 180 pound PG from Houston who is a good shooter and good passer but isn't a good defender..
I invite Sarchet to campus, but do not switch my scholarship offer.
Christiano Bitee signs with us at the end of week 4. Hopefully, the kid has really earned his 4 star rating
