Everybody cross their fingers here. He’s not in the portal yet. Evidence suggests he’s about to be.

"I'm excited to welcome Corey and his family to our Cincinnati football program," Fickell said. "Corey is a tough, explosive and smart football player who we expect to have an immediate impact on our football team. He has a tremendous drive to succeed on and off the field. I know he's excited to come home and play in front of friends and family at Nippert Stadium, and we are thrilled to have him."

You'd think. Kiner fills an immediate need for a feature back. There was no one dominant back on the squad this year until now. Have to wonder if some of the other guys will hit the portal though.

Here's your RB room without Kiner included.

0	Charles McClelland	RB	5-11	193	Sr.	2L	Homerville, Ga. / Clinch County
4	Ethan Wright	RB	6-1	198	Jr.	1L	Akron, Ohio / Manchester
22	Ryan Montgomery	RB	5-10	205	Sr.	2L	Franklin, Ohio / Franklin
25	Shaun Thomas	RB	6-0	188	So.	HS	Lima, Ohio / Central Catholic
26	Myles Montgomery	RB	5-11	200	So.	HS	Jacksonville, Fla. / Fletcher
36	Lewis Shepherd	RB	6-0	195	Jr.	TR	Elgin, Okla. / Elgin	NE Oklahoma

Figured there'd be a little more buzz in this thread. I guess "Bearcat Twitter" isn't necessarily akin to Bearcatnews.

Was that for Chris?

Yes, Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Fixed. Please check around before you start a new thread on an athlete. I’m not mad but moving and merging threads creates some extra work and sometimes the software chokes on that stuff.

That was fast, great news!

I was bummed we didn't get Gi'Bran Payne, but I think we got the better of that deal. Kiner is a great addition.

Seems like Corey Kiner is about to announce a transfer commitment to UC.

If true, then clearly this all just happened after he tweeted about hitting the portal earlier today...

Yep. Coming home to UC https://twitter.com/CoreyKiner/statu...C5_b7NxIoqAAAA

…. Has just entered the transfer portal. He was Mr. Ohio in football in 2020, it would be a great immediate pick up for the Bearcats. I haven’t heard anything from anybody, but I have a gut feeling he might land here.

B.C.

Seeing some very interesting hints from Solomon Tentman’s Twitter right now. He is currently coaching at Roger Bacon where Kiner was enrolled in HS.
