And Tate Sage, who was verbally committed to Drake before their coaching change, is apparently not fully committed to the new coach yet, according to this recent tweet - https://x.com/Coach_Ritchhart/status...04986815361079

Tate Sage is all but committed. 6'7 wing that was committed to Drake. Just not "official" yet.
