Backyard Blitz 2024

[Lobot]

This is today’s press conference with the Football staff and Jowon Briggs. I’m putting it in the recruiting section because they’ve outlined a plan by the staff on how they are going to attack local recruiting in the city and state.

I thought I saw him. Did he have $$ falling out of his pocket?

It is legal now and I see where UC has started a NIL non-profit too. Let us go beyond sour grapes and plant some deep (pocketed) flags.

I've seen several tweets of players getting offers and many coming to take an official visit Jan 22nd including local product from Taft, defensive end Elias Rudolf. There's a danrned long time between Jan and early signing day in Dec, so let's see if anyone commits

Ryan Day was at Taft on Friday. Several crystal balls came with the visit. I hope the Jan. 22 visit makes a solid impact.

Posted to the wrong thread. Never mind.

Really bad officiating…again.

[Cincatz13]

What makes it tough is Cincy is saturated with pro teams. Ann Harbor, Cbus, and just about any other Big10 or SEC school is in a city where college dominates. Heck even most Big12 teams. Cincinnati may have the most professional sports teams for a city of its size in the US and I think this drastically cuts down on the $$ available from Alumni and corporate sponsors. Would you rather sponsor the Bearcats or a Bengals team who is killing it? Or the Reds who have 164 games a year? The Lindners are certainly keeping their own $$ more now with a soccer team that can't hold a jock strap as an MLS team.

I really believe cincinnati has cannibalized themselves by having so many pro teams that cut down on the amount of NIL and money coming into the school.

You would think that Fickel proved that UC can be at the top of the football world which could be attractive to the local kids. Although, he also proved what the local coaches know is that UC is still a steppingstone for coaches. However, I would like to believe that being in the Big 12 now would somehow soften that image. We had a run of 4-5 good years if not great. That dates back to when the class of 2024 kids were in 7-8th grade.

[GangstaTakester]

You would think as dedicated as this city is to its local kids, someone would be pumping lots of money to some of these higher level kids to keep them here.

Marshall seems to be leanining toward Michigan

although Bill Kurelic says tOSU. Regardless the top two two highest rated in Cincy are not coming it seems. M. Hartford and Austin Siereveld. Would like to get one of those 3(Marshall). J. Mathews as well. Plant them flags deep for the next few years.

[Lobot]

I wonder about Jordan Marshall.

[red_n_black_attack]

well there are at least 2 major players in the city and so far no mention of UC, but of another school in Ohio.
