Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Scott Nagy and his assistants didn’t expect to spend the spring recruiting for the 2018-19 season, but recent decisions by Everett Winchester and Jeremiah Davenport have the staff working overtime.
“It’s very busy,” Nagy said. “We went into the spring thinking we’d just be focusing on 2019 kids, and that’s just not the case. There’s kids transferring and there’s still kids left out there and so now we’re stuck still recruiting.”
Three weeks ago Winchester surprised WSU by announcing he was transferringdespite playing a key role in helping the Raiders win the Horizon League championship and play in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2007.
Two weeks ago, Moeller High School senior Jeremiah Davenport announced that instead of enrolling at WSU in the fall he would be enrolling in prep school while reclassifying as a member of the Class of 2019 and re-opening his recruiting.
"We knew all along that academically he was going to be a question mark,” Nagy said. “He could still make it, but it would be a lot of work. But we thought it was pretty solid that even if had to go (the prep school) route that he would come to Wright State, but it hasn’t turned out to be the case.”
The door isn’t officially closed on Davenport still attending WSU, but Nagy said he thinks it’s doubtful.
Davenport committed to Wright State before turning in numerous impressive performances in leading Moeller to the Ohio Division I state championship in March.
