What's the most traffic board? Wouldn't mind doing a little recruiting smack with Sparty.

Here's a new Vann thread on my go-to MSU board:

Malik Vann Commits to Cinci

Good Lord, I know they're in a P5 conference, but those people seem to honestly believe Michigan State has been a perennial top 5 football powerhouse for a century. 03-lmfao

They're the second biggest program in their own state, as are we. If Michigan had been as successful at keeping them out of the Big 10 as OSU has been with us, they would be stuck in the MAC and begging for an invite to the AAC.

Someone in that thread actually managed to spell it "Concinatti". That's a new one.

This childhood song is going through my head...

"One of these things is not like the other..."

Hmmmm...Coach after coach after coach has not been able to crack the local recruiting nut. Fickell comes along and BAM! Interesting, indeed!

RE: 4* Fairfield DE Malik Vann commits to the Bearcats!
Echoing the sentiments of many here, CLF's recruiting success is nothing short of remarkable at this point. Players of this quality will have an immediate impact in the AAC and 4 stars will see significant playing time right away.

Most of us agree, a P5 invitation is not be based on team performance in the short run. But for the scarce opportunities to move up, UC checking all the other boxes plus putting ranked football and basketball teams on display can only help. Performing like a successful P5 program will provide that added measure of confidence that Cincinnati won't dilute conference strength but will enhance it.

We all know it takes quality players to win on the big stage so CLF is building an impressive foundation right now. The energy around UC football is off the charts.

Some interesting comments from the team up north, aka osu.

I rarely venture to Ohio State sites, but when I do, it's Eleven Warriors. They put out some thoughtful pieces, and the comments are much better than other sites - the townies get called out pretty quickly. It's worth a read to see their thoughts on UC/ Fickell - generally quite complimentary.

Can't wait to see who will be the next Bearcat commit!

I think if you go back through the Coaching Search thread you will find I was on the Fickell bandwagon long before he was on our radar. He was my #1 choice outside of some unrealistic dream hires. I think I had Fickell #1 and Pelini #2, but as is tradition it was not received well since they were two OSU guys.

I loved the "Nobody cares" reply to the UC post that referenced what Fickell has already done in his short time at Cincinnati....

Considering how much Dantonio likes to recruit Cincy, they probably should care a little bit.

I don't know that this is true exactly. There was plenty of back and forth on Fickell with lots of people believing there were positives and negatives. So far before a game has been played it is a home run hire. Long term it's not just recruiting, but developing talent and performing on the field. I don't think this board was that anti-Fickell as a whole.

Now the idea of Pelini made some of us throw up a little bit but it had nothing to do with OSU.

The only people we need to be aware of are the ones that had Coombs as their #1. They are dangerous.

There is so much salt in that thread... Someone even told a UC poster that they hope they have a heart attack...The internet is serious business.

Not to pat myself on the back but I was super pro Fickle Pickle CLF during the coaching search threads. In fact, I was probably the most pro Fickell poster on CSN. And my opinion was not fickle.

When you read that msu board, they forget one big thing. A kid is facing spending 4 or 5 years in East Lansing. LF has seized on the opportunity to show kids around town. Having traveled to many of these p5 towns, i would want no part of 4 or 5 years there. Sometimes your best asset is right in front of you. Nothing like a South bend/Elkhart winter.

Those MSU fans act as if they are blue bloods of CFB. Guess a few years of success will do that to you. I did see one post where a guy heard Fickell and his staff blew the doors off Harlon Barnett and MSU's staff in their recruiting of Vann.

Sweetest thing about is that he is from Cincy. I think he was a Princeton HS grad too lazy to google.

East Lansing is a pretty awesome college town though. I think this is simply an example of a staff putting in the work rather than relying on a name.

UC's staff is much younger and much hungrier than Michigan State's IMO. They just out-worked them. Dantonio has some health issues and his staff makeup now is sort of a microcosm of his personality. Older type guys who come across bland and boring. This isn't 10+ years ago when he was hungry to build a program. They've had a bunch of head to head recruiting losses in the last couple of classes that they should not have had.

Yes. He went to Princeton, played DB for MSU and had a pro career. Also, was a grad assistant on Saban's NC team at LSU.
