Sumter, a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., averaged 12 points and 10 rebounds per game as a soph for the Panthers.
Early on, schools such as Ohio State, St. John's and West Virginia looked at Sumter, but a number of factors slowed his recruitment this winter and spring.
"O.J. had a solid year, but some injuries slowed him down a bit," Bernath said. "He had a good year, but he did not surpass last year's output."
Sumter is expected to make a decision very soon, and we will keep you posted on his ultimate destination, so stay tuned.
