Obviously Rayvon Griffith has to be a huge priority. I believe he's the highest rated recruit to come out of Cincinnati since Yancy. If we miss out on both McMillian and Griffith that will be a bit of a bummer.

I know Sean Jones is someone they're looking at. I would assume that's where they've put our attention on instead of McMillian. Eggs is also in on him and it would be a kick in the nuts if we lost out him to those losers.

Evan Mahaffery is another strong local player (top 200) in 2022. I'd really like to hit on some of these guys that are close. We're batting Huggs and X it looks like.

There's the 7'0 kid from Hamilton, who moved from Hawaii we're looking at it. Tolentino? We're in need of some bigs and he would nice a get.

I know we've targeted quite a few quality guys. It will be interested to see how many we can land, or if we can land any at all. It seems to be a good time to be recruiting the area.
Not to compare Wes to JB at all because they are the exact opposite, but JB started going after a lot of high rated guys his first summer recruiting, (Loveday, Kalkbrenner, etc..) these were all high 4 star guys and JB got a few on campus and he didn't land a single one. John was notrious for "almost" signing some big names... Tari was a little underrated IMO, the Madsen's were basically a a packaged deal. MAW, Saunders were not highly rated and Harvey fell into out lap. Now Gabe, Tari and Harvey are gone. Obviously I don't expect Wes to land them all but I hope he can land a few. I think it will only take a few to sign before the ball gets rolling in high rated guys in future classes. As for Paul McMilliam, he took a visit to Arizona State and then transferred to a prep school out there, I don't think he will be a bearcat unfortunately.
