Love seeing a big, nasty defensive lineman added. Now maybe we can land Poole and Daniels as well.

So far, I really like what Coach Jones and the staff is doing. They have 4 solid players verballed and I have a feeling we will see several more in the coming weeks. It's an exciting time to be a Bearcat! |

Excellent pickup. This is a kid that flew under the radar but the coaches got to see him live and loved what they saw. I love that we are finally adding quality depth at the DT position with Lozano and Phillips last year and now Mitchell in this class. Like to see us bring in one more DT in this class and load up on DEs and LBs. The staff is really addressing the critical needs so far in this class.

“I consider him the sleeper of this class,” University of Cincinnati head football coach Butch Jones said.
Those remarks were about Brandon Mitchell of Withrow High School Feb. 2 (National Signing Day). For those who had any reservations about Mitchell (and not many did since he was listed as a “three-star recruit” by ESPN.com, Rivals.com, Scout.com and 247Sports.com) that should be enough ammunition. In Mitchell’s case, a summer verbal commitment stood. Prior to that, his services were sought by Ball State, Western Kentucky, Akron, Western Michigan, Kent State and Bowling Green. That list might not floor you, but most college coaches don’t define their recruits by “stars” or by who else has recruited them. The staff at UC believes they have a special find in Mitchell, and the 6-2, 290 pound lineman is enthusiastic about staying in town. The decision was for his current family and for his “new family.” “It took a lot of thought,” Mitchell said. “I had to go to the campus a couple of times to get a feel for it. I got real, real comfortable with the coaches, the players. I talked with my family about it and they felt good about it. They’ve got a really good family environment. It was the family atmosphere they gave me up there that really convinced me.” LOTS MORE.... http://cincinnati.com/blogs/presspre...moves-pay-off/ |
