tOfficial 2018 Recruiting Thread

[Ickey Shuffle]

If Cincinnati ever gets into a Power 5 conference, then there's going to be a few programs that are highly dependent upon Ohio recruits that are going to be hurting due to the Bearcats increased ability to keep kids from leaving the state of Ohio.

Certainly Pitt and West Virginia will be impacted, but even more so will be Michigan State and Kentucky. The Spartans would be screwed with a diminished Ohio recruit pipeline.

That's the reason we're not in one right now; highlighted in bold.

Sure, I'm still hoping we're able to join one. But at the same time, the main reason(s) I wanted us to join one is the first place IS for better athletes and upgraded facilities, which both are being taking care of right now.

Being a big fish in a small pond seems like our destiny for the time being and that's fine. Competing is our true goal, and we can compete with majority of programs. Especially in basketball. No one wants to see us in basketball now lol.

We're already dominating MSU this year:


And we're not really concerned about Kentucky. I think we've been to more BCS games than them in the last decade + lol.

Huh?

 

[mutiger]

Isn't he 1st one of the top 10 from Missouri that you've gotten ? I know State of Missouri is loaded this year.

Yes, I think we will land at least 4 of them

 

[gobigred]

Who else? I know you are big favorites for Michael Thompson but didn't know who else. Trout ?

Yes, I think Trout and Thompson are high on Mizzou.

I think Perkins is a strong possibility....his brother is already on the team

I wouldn't count out Babb who is right now an Ohio St lean....but he has shown some signs of being interested in Mizzou still

Perkins is headed to OU. Sorry.

 

[romeo212000]

Oklahoma likely to get commit from 4* LB DaShaun White this weeks.

 

[mutiger]

Perkins is headed to OU. Sorry.

I obviously do not agree.....I think Mizzou has a great chance with him still.

Of course you do.

Good news is, you guys probably get Trout though.

You probably thought the same with Jeremy Maclin back in 2006

Yikes. Gotta go back 12 years to find a retort, huh?

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Huh?

No way we're getting in the Big 10 because of that reason.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Especially from Ohio State lol. Automatic "no" vote.

Exactly. He really showed me.

What reason?

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

What reason?

Claustrophobic recruiting competition.

 

[mutiger]

Mizzou and Oklahoma don't really go after the same recruits that often

 

[Across The Field]

Claustrophobic recruiting competition.

lol, oh it was a joke. Ok

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

lol, oh it was a joke. Ok

Lol I'm confused now. Fuck it.

You said "Claustrophobic recruiting competition" was the reason Cincinnati isn't in the B1G, which is obviously meant to be a joke.
