Love It!! BK locking down the backyard....

Incredible pickups for UC!! Very likely both will be 4-stars. This is starting to become unbelievable.

WOW - Great pickups!

Might be a dumb question, but is Hoard allowed to talk about this??

My guess is probably not since he works for the school...

His contract is with Clearchannel.

Huge! Who's next?

So that's true even with his columns on UC's athletic site?

Either way, it wouldn't be a big issue. The NCAA is probably too busy watching Tennessee now to notice any other issues across the country.

Pretty sure the UC contract with Clearchannel requires one of the radio team to do it.

great news. just saw alex smith at the game today.

BTW....these really are 2 absolutely huge gets. Check out the offers they turned down. May really open the eyes of some other top talent ini the area.

I'm wondering how having two West guys commit in their junior year may help Cincinnati with their recruitment of a certain Lakota linebacker? I know his offer list is ridiculous, but this has got to be a draw seeing two of your HS teammates turn down offers to Michigan, West Virginia, and Illinois among others to stay at home.

I would forget about their teamate. This is going to help though with some other local prospects. No question about it. I think you'll see a few more commitments in the very near future.

The QB from Michigan would be amazing... He is going to decide soon.

Smith is a guy a lot of Ohio State fans were hoping the Buckeyes would offer a scholarship to. Great early start to next year's class which will probably once again be the best class we have ever signed.

We have a good shot at Boisture. Hopefully we can land him. He would be an excellent fit for Kelly's offense.

I second that...he is basically Tony Pike's body with a higher comfort level with the pass heavy system. Saline Goodrich, his high school is notorious for being a pass first offense in the state of Michigan.

Speaking of QB's from Michigan, I wouldn't mind if UC somehow got Gardner away from UM and ND either haha

Alex Smith highlight on ESPN:

That is great news. More local kids committing to UC EARLY.
