Seriously, outside the local area "Cincinnati" is misspelled about 75% of the time. But I really don't care how he spells it now, as long as it ends up on his uniform shirt in 2016.

Any update on this, Chad? Are we still in the running? I imagine he's still considering like 25 schools.

Cincinnati named among 5 teams recruiting him the hardest. Also said he's not just looking for the top program, which is good news with Kansas offering and Kentucky in the mix.

Obviously the other schools going after him have needs, but he's exactly what we need to be elite. A high-scoring guard. The defense is there for our team and isn't going anywhere. A guy like Alkins could make us Top 15 in a couple years. Imagine a lineup of Caupain, Alkins, Evans, Moore, and Clark in 2016. No true center in there, but still, holy wow. So much talent.

We will have 4 or 5 scholarships in 2016 depending on what the staff decides to do with the one left by Strickland's departure. Just going by history we will at least see one Juco in there, probably a big guy since we lose Octavius and Deberry. I just want to see a big time scoring guard (Alkins, Cumberland) and a polished big (Ward). I trust the staff in their evaluations and hope that Mick's medical condition can be turned into a positive as he will be able to recruit more. Maybe it works out for the best and we can land someone that we may not have gotten because Mick gets more face time with them.

Good news about Cumberland? Based on his tweets during this game, he is NOT an Ohio state fan haha

Mick said on his radio show tonight that he is going to high school games he normally would not be able to go to. Hopefully he is able to capitalize on the extra recruiting time.
