Great videos as always Chad! Metz could be a force of nature and I hope he can get some playing time this year. I don't know if he's more natural as a run vs. a pass blocker but he has exceptional SIZE. If anything, play him on Special Teams to block field goals. After listening to Coach it would seem our D Line and Wide Receivers may have the biggest question marks going in to camp. Not surprising after last year's team. Hopefully, there will be a combination of lineman that can rotate quality minutes and the depth at running back and tight end are the strengths to play with - taking some pressure off the wide outs. That said, we still need to have at least a go-to-guy that can be reliable to catch the ball and provide a threat down the field. Interesting to see what develops out of camp. I'm all over James "Bionic Ray Guy" Smith. What a "flip the field" weapon he is. I'd say Coach has some Jim Tressel influence in him for having strong special teams - punting in particular. Is it football season yet?

Coach Fickell Recaps Bearcats' First Day of their 2019 Fall Ball Season

I thought I picked up that we were waiting for NCAA approval for some other transfers being cleared to play. Do we know who has been cleared, and who we are waiting on?

Waiting on Blue Smith, Darrian Beavers, Kyriq McDonald and Bryan Cook. Cook seems unlikely but hopeful on the other three...

Alabama transfer Kyriq McDonald has been issued his waiver.

He said yesterday McDonald was one we were waiting on then saw it was granted on twitter so I posted. Didn't mean to step on any toes.

Fletcher Page from the Enquirer reporting Darrian Beavers has been granted his waiver, immediately eligible.

Wonder why all of these guys are getting their transfer waivers when someone else isn't...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So you relayed a fact but didn't attribute someone? Wow. How awful of you. /s

Beavers was at UConn last year, so no one would contest if he claimed he was depressed due to the state of their football program.

A fact I was the first to report. I normally wouldn't care but the person in question is known for taking info from BCJ and bringing here under the guise of "I heard somewhere that..."

Considering I have shared info here a lot over the years, it would be appreciated if info I report is posted, that credit is given. Doesn't matter either way, but sure would be nice...

Anyway. Thanks for the reminder on why I took a step back from this place. You guys have a good one...

I like you, Chad. But I wish your microphone wasn't so noisy on your podcast.

Your content is great. It should be. It's your job. You also do a great job of keeping things behind a pay wall and I commend you for that. I hope you continue to do so.
But coming over here sniping people for relaying a fact (yes, a fact you may have relayed first on twitter) without attributing you is the epitome of pettiness. Oh to have such a delicate ego. Feel bad for you duder.

Gotta agree with Chad. When you are the originator of something, it always feels nice to be properly credited.

You will. I respect the hell out of you man. You're an amazing content creator. But as a content creator you still have to sell that content to buy the groceries. So it blows my mind that you seek out these petty snipes on a forum full of your potential customers.
