points to how hard cincy is selling out on him

Griffith on Sunday will hopefully get the ball rolling on the 2023 class.

Griffith is locked in to UC. Gives Wes more opportunity to fully lock in on Isaiah Collier, who is a program changing type of recruit. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the recruiting board develops. Swain will have a ton of in state competition and I don't have great insight into who else they will target.

This is a HUGE commit for Cincinnati. Wes is making a statement that he has the chops to land top-50 talent, and also that we can make a compelling case for keeping local kids home. Rayvon has been a star on the national recruiting scene since middle school, when he was throwing down dunks playing AAU ball with Bronny James. He's good friends with another top-50 type local kid in the 2024 class, and is also buddies with our top 2023 PG target, who is a 5-star ranked just inside the top 20. Rayvon is going to be recruiting other top prospects, and this has potential to be a commitment that really gets the ball rolling downhill. I am expecting to land a few more big fish the next couple cycles, in part due to the momentum created from this win.

Congrats!

I love the optics of UC getting picked while on the same stage as Kansas, ucla, ohio state & Alabama.

And dropping 11 spots since going to Cincy was heavily reported. ESPN has him 4 spots lower than literally a couple days ago...

UC is going to keep this recruiting train rolling.

UC makes final 7 for 2023 PG Trey Green. He is 84 overall and a 4 star on the 247 composite. Other teams in the running

Xavier
Nebraska
Clemson
VCU
LSU
Va Tech

I'm not sure how hard UC is currently recruiting Green. Isaiah Collier is far and away their top priority at PG.

Rice is full now for next year, with final ‘ship going to:

2022 C Iffy Ufochukwu.
6-11 out of North Carolina
Chooses Rice over SMU and Temple

Literally never seen that name before

To be clear, the write up from the Rice BBS states: “ He says…”

But it’s a memorable name, so if you’d seen it you’d have probably remembered!!


Relatively new to the sport, raw talent with potential but not expecting him to jump in and play a ton of minutes next year.

The following article by one of the Tiger beat writers explains the reason for Penny’s revised approach to recruiting: https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/s...901277002/

In sum, Penny tires of the headaches and turmoil associated with “entitled” players. He said he had 13 starters or at least the players thought they were starters. Penny said: I don’t think I’ll ever want 13 really good players (who can) start. That’s too many. You can’t play everybody.”
He has turned to a more selective approach via the transfer market. )My aside: I sense the influence of Sampson who Penny much admires). He is looking for a big and a sharpshooter. He feels a solid foundation is in place (especially if Lomax, Williams, and Lester return).

Houston got another commitment from Joseph Tugler F from Texas. It's truly remarkable that Houston doesn't have to leave the state to pull in good recruits - what a great advantage that will only grow once in the Big 12. Tugler came in at #95 in the new 247 rankings.

UC commit Rayvon Griffith moved up to 41 and top target Isaiah Collier is now the #1 PG and #10 overall in the class - 247 also predicted that he will ultimately choose UC.

Cincinnati and Houston are stepping up the recruiting. For sure Houston will dominate the PAC12 when they eventually get the call up.
