OT-Group of 5 recruiting that might interest some

[orangepassion]

Cincinnati had the top ranked Group of 5 class, including a 4-star (might be a good place to look for an assistant)
WMU under our old friend Tim Lester had the highest ranked MAC class, including a 4 star
Uconn had the lowest ranked class in the AAC.

Not group of 5, but pretty impressive that Baylor pulled in a top 25 class after going 1-11 (Props to Matt Rhule)

Baylor’s in Texas. Im not too surprised.

Cincy’s a great football program, would love to see them find the success they had in the mid 2000’s

Did anyone get shafted more in conference realignment than Cinci?

I could be wrong but I think Cincy has some more flexibility when it comes to admission standards. I seem to remember some quality OH prospects in the past that you would expect to go Big 10 that ended up there because of grades.

I realize that, but 1-11 is still 1-11 and they have a ton of competition for those guys

In my opinion, no. Cincy would be great in the ACC imo. Their football program would improve immediately and they have the talent in other sports.

I wish they were in the ACC because I want to go to Cinci for some road games. Also, they are a strong bball program. Lets get ND to join as a full member and add Cinci with them. It would help balance out travel a bit for both ND and Ville and give the ACC more presence in that region. I'm not sure ND ever gives up their independence though.

Cincy is one of my Alma maters, but don't want them in a Power 5 conference, as I want the Cuse to get those Ohio players that get overlooked by OSU

Thats a could-be peer that SU could leveredge academics over as well as possibly our IPF etc.

Cincy has great facilities. I'd rather leverage academics AND a P5 conference

 

[Orangello]

ACC might be trading Cincy for Ville at the rate that train wreck is going.

U Conn was the lowest ranked in the AAC? With a charismatic guy like Randy running the show?? say it ain't so!
