This may have been already posted, but Bucknuts is saying he became a Bearcat. Folks he is the real deal. He has the speed and quickness to compliment Kiner. He was the 5th rated RB coming out of high school;, but injuries slowed hm. Although from NC he is coming to cincy. Way to go CSS

It looks like the staff has more time to evaluate players in the portal. Last year with new staff and short period of time they took players that no other teams wanted. Emory was terrible and all the portal WR we’re just as bad. I hope Sorsby works out and the get players that buy in (Corleone)
commit to program. Fickel and Butch both struggled their first year, I’m optimistic It will turn around. Let Coach Satt build this team and let’s see what next year brings before we call for changes

I pray you are right. I would hate to go back to the dark days. I still think changes in the coaching staff (Combs) are in order to really make a difference.

I concur with much of this but I do believe Xavier Henderson is a good receiver. Wiggins was okay, but Jones had trouble with the deep ball. Smith had his moments but was loose with the ball as a returner. The others had trouble getting separation.

Coleman comes over from EMU. Career Stats are below. Should aid some punch and depth to the DL as a senior with game experience. Appears he has at least 1 year left to play but he did not see the field his freshman year so there's a possible redshirt there.

Again, just my opinion, just like you selected two games where his numbers were better, there’s more games where his numbers weren’t very good. I also suspect this will push Drogosh out, which is disappointing. I really think not giving him even a meaningful series or two in a disastrous season was puzzling to say the least . We shall see.

Did you see IU play at all this year? They were not good at all up front.

. Sorsby wasn't offered by anyone out of HS,

Well by that logic Desmond Ridder would have been off your list.......only UC offered him......Drew Brees would have been off your list he only had 2 offers.....Josh Allen well he had no offers and had to beg his way to get on a Wyoming team.......Baker Mayfield as well..........I like the kid, lets see what he can do.....

"... didn't do much of anything ..." ?? How about 13-for-19, 269 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT at Penn State? Or 22-for-33, 289 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT + 2 rushing TD at Illinois?

Sorsby was the backup for the first six games, with limited attempts. He played pretty well after that.

As far as a better QB is concerned, who are they (at least that Cincy Reigns can afford)? Believe it, NIL is a component. Dante Moore and others of his ilk are too expensive, even if they did have interest here.

Depends on the offense and coordinator. That's fantastic if you're Navy. Sorsby hasn't even tried to run Satterfields offense yet.

Give it a chance and maybe stop being more negative about Satterfield than the temperature in Siberia?

We're just sharing opinions, right? I don't see an offense like Navy in our future. Sorsby wasn't offered by anyone out of HS, and didn't do much of anything for IU, even against weaker teams. It's perfectly reasonable to hope for a better portal QB, given there are so many really good ones still available. This seems like a quick get to me and I just would have preferred we look a little harder. Will our o-line be better next year? I hope so, and they're all returning so it stands to reason they will be. However, I don't think what we saw in Scott's playcalling makes me super optimistic about Sorsby being successful given we don't have much in the way of any proven WR's and next year will be more of that - new WR's learning a new system.

As long as we don’t push Drogosh out. He’ll be a star when he gets a chance.

Is 56% an accurate passer?

Cincinnati football head coach Scott Satterfield announced on Thursday the addition of quarterback Brendan Sorsby.

The Denton, Texas, native passed for 1,587 yards and 15 touchdowns with only five interceptions as a redshirt freshman at Indiana this fall. He appeared in 10 games with seven starts, including a five-touchdown game at Illinois and a three-touchdown passing effort at Penn State in his first career road start.

He has three years of eligibility remaining.

"We are excited to add Brendan to our quarterback room and our Bearcats family," head coach Scott Satterfield said. "He's a tremendous competitor who has played on some big stages in the Big Ten and never flinched. He's got a great arm, he's an accurate passer, and he's a dynamic runner. He adds leadership and experience to our team, and I'm looking forward to coaching him."
