Figured we may as well have a thread to track who all is leaving now.

Starting it off, JQ Hardaway

Based on some tweets, my guess is Chamon Mateyer will come soon after.

Jojo Bermudez, though there was speculation he might never be right from his knee injury.

This is going to hurt.

We’re essentially starting from scratch now

Chamon Mateyer

Just in time to have Oklahoma and Texas et al on the schedule.

We must have all been awful ******* people in our prior lives.

Prior lives?!

Aaaand so much for that highest rated recruiting class in UC's history, too.

Folks in Oxford are having the interns search where they used to store the Victory Bell so they can get that dusted.

So when does Fickell's Son hit the portal?

He said he's not.

I think that is awesome. Great job being his own man. Quality of character. Exactly what UC needs. I would say Luke will respect his decision.

Sorry, not a UC transfer, but good to see someone didn't want to play for Fickell.

Corleone and Fletcher have both posted on twitter that they're staying...that may help a bit to get some of the leaders out there publicly vocal about things.

I posted in anther thread that I was told by a former UC football player that the players alumni group is working to get facetime with the team to encourage them to not enter the portal.

Yep...was a very good conversation with a few last night.

Damn, Jake Renfro just entered the portal....

He will have a new coach wherever he goes, probably felt that going to the best possible team for his final year made sense (it does). Will be interesting to see if he goes to Wisconsin...pretty close to home, will fit his style and is the coach he committed to.

This is the third UC player [that I'm aware of] publicly commenting on staying as a Bearcat and urging the recruits to do the same...

Watching Ironton play right now, including WR Ty Perkins who the announcer says is still committed to UC. Looks like a UC receiver: tall, can get free and make big catches, had one easy drop and two stupid penalties.
