Dunno. I went from a recruiting wonk to a guy who now due to the portal doesn't even pay attention to high school commits. 3/4 of the high school guy will probably be playing someplace else in a couple years so why bother?

Sometimes I look at the UC board and this post caught my eye as it fits me to a T

Quote:Scott Satterfield and the Cincinnati Bearcats added a new player to the Class of 2025 with the commitment of three-star defensive lineman Benny Patterson.

Patterson chose the Bearcats over six different programs, including Texas Tech, Toledo, Indiana State, Boston College, Cal, and Northern Illinois.

Coming out of Castle High School in the Class of 2025, Patterson is listed as a three-star prospect by the 247Sports index. He also checked in as the 124th-ranked player at his position and the 30th-ranked player in the state of Indiana.

“I’d say the number one thing was the relationship that was built with the coaching staff and the genuine feeling,” Patterson told 247Sports’ Allen Trieu. “I’m really confident in what’s to come, and I want to be a part of it.”

With his commitment, Patterson became the eighth addition to the Bearacats’ 2025 Class, joining seven other three-star prospects. Satterfielf’s group has already earned commitments from RB Zion Johnson, CB Patrick Williams, QB Zebulin Kinsey, EDGE Erik Gayle, RB Kolin Wilson, WR Kamaurri Smith, and CB Jermaine Jones.

Bunch of 3 stars. Not bad but I hope they coach some of them up to 4 star level.

With this commit, 247 lists us at #39 overall and #8 in the B12. Could be better, could be worse. Finishing last in the B12 probably didn't help matters but there's time to improve on this class.
