Truer words were never spoken. That tier of talent will build a fine program here.

And Ohio State has every incentive to steer that tier of talent here. Why let your B1G opponents stock up?

FWIW, have a friend who's son plays at Moeller and they say all the players there are excited about Fickell and made it sound like Aeneas Hawkins has a good chance of becoming a future Bearcat.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if Urban actively helped Fickell for this exact reason. He knew he'd be replaceable on his staff, he could steal players from the mid-level B1G guys, and POTENTIALLY start stepping in on teams like MSU/PSU/Wisconsin in Ohio if things turned out well. Plus, he's never going to play UC and he knows we won't be P5 for now, so where's the negative?

Can anyone remember even one quote like this from a local coach during the TT regime?
Quote:La Salle coach Jim Hilvert said, "Jarell's a very versatile football player who's a winner, comes from a winning program, three state championships. Other people and other kids in the city can gravitate to that and say 'I had a great career in high school ... why not look at UC?' Set a legacy at UC and get a great academic career and play football in front of all your friends and family. And I think people in Cincinnati, they'll be vested to be able to see a guy like that come to Cincinnati and do a lot of great things."

Don't know if I'd take it that far but there could easily be a natural synergy between the two schools. As much as people hate OSU around here (myself included), I won't be upset if OSU coaches steer good talent to UC instead of letting it fall to IU, Purdue, Michigan State, etc...

Sounds like Hilvert is angling for a job.

Yep. I was listening to 97.1 the Fan (Columbus ESPN Radio affiliate) recently and they said the only recruit they've signed for next year who isn't a 4- or 5-star is a kicker, and he's the top-rated kicker in the country. If Urban is strictly going after blue chippers, we will gladly take the quality 3-star guys he doesn't want going to Big Ten rivals.

Hope they do the signing day event again this year. I typically never miss it. Except last year I boycotted it in protest of Tubs.
