Backyard Blitz 2024

I think part of it is that we have had past coaches that just insulted the local high school scene, and those coaches hold a grudge. I also believe that it is sometimes best for kids to go away to college to be forced to live without mom and dad "the college experience". I think that it would have been best for Yancy to have left town. He had too many people in his head.

There are some local coaches are against kids going to UC, Winton Woods and Lakota come to mind. I think I heard somewhere, part of it was the coaches believe UC usn't a major program and part of it is they believe kids should go away from hometown to get college experience. I have to believe the blitz and success of so many local kids, plus move to Big 12 will help change minds of some of those high school coaches. Can anyone provide any more info to refresh my memory if these coaches (or others) have anything against their kids coming to play in Clifton?

I freaking love that 50 mile radius blitz! This is what the bread and butter of the program is…. If Cincinnati is going to be successful these local kids here need to come here! Like the message so far!

double that so we can keep getting the kids from ironton

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.

Briggs is unbelievably impressive. Great young man. Very impressed with the coaches as well. Gonna need some time to replenish but the philosophy is very exciting.

Don't know if I missed anything but is Malik Vann coming back?

I liked the way that the D coach praised both Pace brothers. He also talked up how the guys are Power 5 players. Very up beat. Also, I have just become a huge Briggs fan. What a great interview. He is so upbeat, excited and wow, look at the arms on that guy.
