do we have verbals from any borderline students currently? It was my understanding (and this may have changed) that Tress & co. had the ability to take 2 kids in each class that were considered "academic risks" Do any of our current verbals or offers include players who fall into this category?
Don't understand how fine academic institutions like IU and TSUN can get Pead in, but we can't? does it have anything to do with APR situation?

Seems as if his final four just changed, subbing in West Virginia for Michigan.

Pead's initial list of suitors included Cincinnati, Indiana, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Maryland and Illinois, but Isaiah will apparently make his final choice from a pared down list of Cincinnati, Indiana, Pittsburgh and West Virginia.

doesnt anyone think that pead might get an offer now that devoe torrence is out of the picture. I really think he wants to be a buckeye and there is now an opening at rb. We could use him as an athlete that can play multiple positions. He could be running back, wide receiver, or even a defensive back. I personally love this kid and think he would be a welcomed edition to this class. And he could help out with special teams on kick off returns, we were terrible in that area last year. Is his academics still the only thing holding him back. Michigan is in his final four and they have similar academic standards as we do. I just hate to see a kid from columbus who wants to be a buckeye and has the ability to get an offer, not get one because of grades. Any info or opinions please let me know?   |

After all the talk, University of Cincinnati head coach Brian Kelly won the recruting battle for running back Isaiah Pead.
Pead announced at his school that Cincinnati would be where he would continue his football career.
Bearcat Insider will have more later on this big news.

Cincy added some serious speed in Woods and Pead. They've put a decent class together this year. |

Dispatch
Eastmoor Academy running back Isaiah Pead allowed fellow students to duct-tape him to a gymnasium wall this week to benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Pennies for Patients program. Kids bought a strip of duct tape for a dollar to secure the University of Cincinnati recruit to the wall.
Pead's participation helped the school raised $1,000 for blood cancer research. In 2006, the school raised $88 without a high-profile athlete to duct-tape.
