I meant more of Chad's write-ups of who he sees/ likes, who he hears we are talking too, etc.

Trevor Moore committed this time last year, and then Nsoseme in August. Could hear some news in the coming weeks. Maybe not of a commitment, obviously, but of who we are targeting.

I replied to the wrong post. Mine was meant for Gerrard.

Chad also tries to make a living doing this. So he isn't giving out all that info for free. That, the way mick recruits, less bball recruits In general, and being the offseason are all reasons football is getting more attention right now.

Unless it's just this slow right now in basketball and this is a very busy point in football I don't know?
I think you answered your own question at the end. There's nothing happening in basketball but I'm sure in a few short weeks people will be tweeting out pictures of their muscles and everyone will be freaking out about how much better player XYZ is going to be this season because he added 10lbs of muscle.

The lack of interest and posting in the football section of this site has always kept me away during this time of the year. Frankly I'd like to see more chatter and excitement for football since it will be here before we know it and the staff has generated a ton of positive momentum.

The real issue: UC isn't drawing much interest from kids worth talking.

The AAC is killing us. .

Xavier probably going to land Cole Swider (who's top 4 is Duke, Syracuse, NOVA and Xavier). They are also getting visits from a lot of top 75 recruits.

Im not sure UC has had a top 100 recruit even check out campus on an official visit.

The fact is; we have to fight over what the powerhouses don't want. It doesn't make a lot of news but it also landed us guys like Jacob evans, & gary Clark. I trust Mick to recruit the right guy. Its just really hard at the moment

I know. We all know the struggles right now but Cronin still knows how to find kids. I guess my point was just the lack of news at all this month but it's coming.

I hate when fans do the whole "Football vs. Basketball" thing We need to all be UC fans-- meaning we want to support and be excited about football, basketball, baseball, etc-- especially if you are an alum and/or a donor to the university.
