This is a great grab for Wes Miller and the Bearcats staff as he provides great upside for the Bearcats due to his length, athleticism, and his ability to score the ball. The Cincinnati native is looking to make an immediate impact when he steps on campus in 2022 and will play a big role for the Bearcats for the near future! This is a guy that will bring a lot of energy to Fifth Third Arena and will have fans going crazy when he arrives on campus. Cincinnati fans should follow him along his senior year as he will finish his high school career off at Hamilton High School this year. Tolentino becomes the first high school recruit to announce their commitment to new head coach Wes Miller, and coach Miller is making it known he wants to recruit all over the country including in the local Cincinnati area.
The Front Office News would like to welcome Sage Tolentino to the Bearcats family! We are very excited for the future and can’t wait to see him represent Cincinnati to be the next hometown hero in the red and black!
