Those who leave will be champions

In addition to these three great points, potential recruits consider the relationships/comfort level with the coaches and players at each program. Many of the players from western PA who are at Ohio State are here because of the relationships developed by Joe Daniels with these kids and their...

Cincinnati.Com | Cincinnati Enquirer | High School Sports Blog ? Breaking news: James commits to Notre Dame

James signs with Notre Dame

"Shooter" doesn't always hit the bullseye. Shooter also predicted that Michael Floyd was headed to Ohio State before he all the sudden committed to ND.

The Lantern needs to do a little fact checking. Kyle Rudolph attended Elder, not St. X. OSU currently has 1 St. X kid on the roster (Patrick Howe). Notre Dame has zero. Actually, I don't think St. X has sent a kid to ND since Rocky Boiman, which was at least 5 years ago. St. X grad Robbie...

Cincy Enquirer post: Brown commits to Louisville Posted by mdyer February 1st, 2010, 11:27 am Winton Woods senior QB Dominique Brown has orally committed to Louisville, according to Winton Woods coach Troy Everhart. Brown orally committed to the Cardinals as a quarterback, Everhart said...

The Cincy news channels only show an interest if the sport or player involves UC or Kentucky...if one of those two were a finalist, they'd be falling all over themselves to get up there. Channel 5 opened up their newscast last week with 'breaking news' that UK was voted #1 in basketball. Most...

I have to disagree on the adaptation comment. Kelly arrived at UC to a team built to run and control the clock (Tressel>Dantonio) and he basically threw that scheme out the window to start his own scheme. Luckily for Kelly, UC didn't have a ton of kids leave during the transition (as UM did)...

Yeah, horrible. After the Rose Bowl win, probably the most important defender on the team (Heyward) announces he'll return for another year along with the top LB (Homan) and DB (Chekwa), who both kicked around at entering the draft. We lose out on a superstar recruit at a position where we...

Hicks has called all 3 staffs in the last 30-45 minutes and told them of his decision.

One of Hicks' teammates (and good friend) Jordan Thompson committed to YSU yesterday.

This kid was a 3 year starter at St. X, which isn't exactly just another high school program. Some of the comments I've read about Massa act as if he can't throw a ball 10 yards. He may pan out, he may not. He could sit the bench at Cincinnati and he could sit the bench in South Bend, but you...

Tressel arrived at Winton Woods around noon today to visit Brown.

I don't have any direct contact to either Massa or James, but I do have a few close contacts with St. X ties. Notre Dame was Massa's dream offer. Massa is a great kid (as is James), but even if he is struggling with being 'true' to his commit to UC, I really, really cannot see him turning down...
