Victor Bermudez lands at a Wyoming JC

Bon (Mslacat) Robinson has informed PTW that former Hawaii recruit Victor Bermudez has joined the basketball program at Sheridan College in Wyoming.

Was it simply a matter of Hawaii choosing Garrett Jefferson over Bermudez or did the latter have an academic issue?

Does Hawaii have a(nother) new recruit?

Bob (aka Mslacat) Robinson, who covers college athletics in Montana and the Big Sky Conference like no other, sent this along:

"Just heard a rumor that Victor Bermudez, a 6-3 shooting guard, has signed with Hawaii. I checked out his Facebook page and according to a post last Thursday (July 14th) he seems to confirm this.

I did a write up on Bermudez a while back here with some info.  I know the Bobcats were interested in him but I do not know if it was for a walk-on or scholarship. In any case, the Bobcats went mostly with JC guards this year and they did not offer him.  Last I heard he was looking to play with the Southern Idaho JC next year before the Hawaii offer. I was a little taken back by this signing but I think I did hear that Hawaii did lose a couple JC signing this year so this might explain it. He will be the third senior player off his 2010 Cheyenne HS (Nevada) team to sign with a D-1 school -- another is playing for a D-2 and a fifth I believe will be playing for a JC next year."
