Its funny to watch the live fax cam on gobearcats and watch the live chat on cincinnati.com because tommy t is sitting with a guy typing his answers for him lol

By the end of the day we could sign 4 TEs. A third just committed. TE Chris Burton (3*).

Other commits include:
Terrell Hartsfield (2*)
Mike Tyson (2*)
Howard Wilder (3*)

Both Terrell Hartsfield and Mike Tyson have been both ranked 4* depending what recruiting source you look at.

TE's are great because there so athletic you can turn them into great DE's. Plus good way to build your special teams

When I first saw it I thought it was a mistake but he's supposed to be pretty good. I think he has 4 years of eligibility too even though he went to Hargrave. Might be wrong about that.

Do we have any late surprises? Seems pretty quiet but all in all, pretty good considering what we had to work with.

Just curious cause I haven't followed UC football recruiting much in the past. Kind of just show up when they tell me the season starts. Is this better/worse/same as recent recruiting classes?

Last signed LOIs of the day are:
Korey Cunningham (NR)
Hosey Williams (NR)
Chris Burton (3*)
Rodriguez Moore (3*) signed his LOI but hasnt been confirmed by the compliance office yet.

Only "surprise" came from Theodore Chambers, a JUCO CB from California.He wasnt ranked coming out of HS and ESPN doesnt have him in their recruiting database.

Overall we landed:

1 QB
2 RB
4 TE
2 OL
3 DL
5 DB
2 ATH (1 will play defensive secondary and the other TBD but probably backfield)

Pretty good class IMO considering the month Tommy T and staff had. Cant wait to see what they do with a full year ahead of them.

Considering that the current staff really only had a month to recruit I would consider this a great class. Some of these kids had other BCS offers from schools in the "Big 5" conferences. A lot are JUCO which makes them able to step in and compete for time.

Saw a tweet today that said 11/14 recruits that decommitted after Lyle left are now signed with non-BCS schools.
