2018 Football Recruiting

BearcatTalk

Help Support BearcatTalk:

Hearing Colerain LB Dan Bolden remains "very interested" in the Bearcats but may wait to sign until season is over. Lots of people around the city think his recruitment will blow up once he's the star of the defense. Seems to me he's still holding out for a Michigan offer.
 
I guess we picked up a transfer from Boston College. Don't know much about him tho. Think the article I read says he will be sitting out this year and coming in the following year as a rush defensive end. Apparently he will have 3 years left of egibility.
 
On Friday evening former Boston College LB Ethan Tucky announced that he will be transferring to the University of Cincinnati to continue his football career. The Delaware, Ohio native visited the Cincinnati campus on Wednesday and has told Bearcat Journal that he will be moving to defensive end upon his arrival. Tucky will sit out the 2017 season as a transfer and have 3 years of eligibility remaining when he takes the field in 2018.
 
nice list ! keep um coming

Tucky, a very high 3*, was one of the highest rated recruits BC, landed in the Class of 2016, choosing BC over UK, Iowa, Indiana, Cincinnati, Northwestern and Wisconsin. Interesting tweet above, according to my source it appears that Tucky wanted to play closer to home in Ohio. As mentioned above he is already planning a visit to Kentucky, who offered him in the first go round. Another school worth watching is Cincinnati. Al Washington accepted a job with the Bearcats this winter, and he was Tucky’s primary recruiter when he came to BC. Could they reunite at a school much closer to his home?

Ethan Tucky came to Boston College early in 2016, and practiced with the team during the spring. He was redshirted his freshman year, and did not see any action. It did not appear that he would be starting this fall, as BC already had Ty Schwab, Connor Strachan and Kevin Bletzer/Sharrieff Grice set to fill in that last slot.

Highlights:
- He talks about recruiting from "The State of Cincinnati" as a huge priority
- He avoided referring to OSU by name; says UC wants to compete with them and every other "major" program

LF is obviously killing it in recruiting. Now I'm excited to see what his team looks like on the field. If they look good this fall, I think recruiting will take off to an even higher level.
 
Colerain LB Daniel Bolden is currently on a visit at Washington State. Bigger schools are starting to come calling. Washington State is definitely on the up tick.
 
Can anyone give a comment (or grade) as to how we are doing at each position in recruiting? It looks like we have done very well at a few positions but I would like to know where CLF is going to need to focus on recruiting in the future to round it all out.

QB
RB
WR
TE
OL

DL
ILB
OLB
CB
S

I assume CLF will do well to round out his D. It looks like we are looking VERY good at QB and have a nice TE recruit. Looking decent at CB from what I have seen. I see a couple WR commits. Any news on RB or O line? Any grades at this point per position? (obviously the grade would be compared to UC's recruiting history and not Alabamas).
 
Colerain LB/RB Ivan Pace Jr. seems very interested in the Bearcats from what I've been told by coaches. The last 2 games at running back he has over 350 yards rushing and 6 TDs and still remains the 2nd best defensive player on the field behind LB Dan Bolden. Seems odd to me I cant find any recruiting profiles on him.

From the videos he looks slow and avoids contact in open space even though he's the bigger man. Doubt he really amounts to much honestly

I can assure you he is far from slow and if your referring to avoiding contact in open field as a running back, isn't that kind of the idea? Avoid contact to try and make a big play. This is the same kid who led the team in sacks as a sophomore last season and had 5 sacks in a game against St. X in which he was playing against a 5 star offensive tackle. The best film on him of when he worked against Jackson Carmen at Fairfield.
 
Also if you watch the Sycamore tape you can clearly see he doesn't mind contact at all while running over people. I also see him playing OLB at the next level.

MORE TALK

The season is a bummer. It is pretty obvious that our talent level is not where it needs to be. Recruiting is the name of the game. Therefore, there should be a lot of recruiting talk--who we are really going after, what we need (besides everything), etc. etc. A year ago we were talking Big 12. This year we aren't even talking!
 
It's hard to make kids want to go to your school when they see what we looked like out there this year. No steps were taken forward at all. Not what you want to see.
