Bigman in portal gets prediction to Clemson....

6-11 Viktor Lakhin from Russia a junior at Cincinnati in the B12. On3 recruiting service rates him as a top 15 center in the portal. Had some really good games in the Big12 this past season before late wĥen his minutes went down in the post season. Might have been injured. Averaged almost over 9 pts and 6 rebs a game. Also pretty good passer.
Remember the Tigers are going to bring at least two bigmen in the portal so i like this as long as eventually know what the other big(s) would be. This might be why Godfrey was not guaranteed a starting spot? Here are some links:

I really thought and was hoping we'd land the big man from Harvard. Absolute dunk machine.

Oh well, can win the portal every year. What goes up must come down, all that jazz

Bearcat fans were bummed that Viktor was transfering. After a breakout Sophmore season averaging almost 12 pts a game they thought he would takeoff and be an all-Big12 type player.
Maybe because getting usèd to stronger competiton from a power conference in the Big12, he took a bìt of a hit. Regardless, that might help him next season in the ACC.
One fan says maybe 7-0 from fello Russian Golden from FAU might be package deal.

You think we are fairing poorly in the portal because we chose the center from Cinn over the center from Harvard? Have you seen either play? What are their strengths and weaknesses?

Viktor was rated the 6th best PF (guess since skill like PJ Hall but actually plays the 5 position)by USA Today.

Also, if it came down to Clemson beating out Providence for him this shows Clemsoñ does have significant $NIL because Providence certainly does. Link:

Yeah, this Bearcat fan is saying he had a weird injury at end of year that slowed him down late because he minutes really dropped of in March:

i would suggest you read up on NIL and foreign players. It is actually pretty difficult for them to receive NIL funds due to visa rules.

I wouldn't say Clemson has done well or poorly. We've still got another month of portaling to go. We'll see what happens.

Here's the Harvard transfer. This YouTube channel has many of the players' highlights that in the portal.

You already said we can’t win the portal every year but could not provide a single sentence on why you liked the other guy over the Russian.

Kid looks decent, but I’d much rather have an athletic rim runner/rim protector especially with RJ Godfrey gone (which I really hate).

Yeah, I would easily take Godfrey over Lahkin. But let's let him prove us wrong. Hope he does.

Guys, that probably is still the plan. They have three spots in the portal to take.

A big guy with some skill to replace PJ wich is probabky Vik.

Another athletic rim runner maybe a little taller to replace RJ

And probably a good tall wing as the third
