La Salle football standout Josh Whyle verbally commits to the Cincinnati Bearcats

Fickell is definitely getting p5 talent. It can be done.

@don356 you posted in the 2017 thread but he's a 2018 kid. Agree tho Fickell is doing well on the trail so far

@don356 posted this in the 2017 AAC thread but he's a 2018 kid so I wanted to note it here too. Really great get for Fickell and Cinci. 4* ESPN300 DE:

It's a huge get for us. He's the younger brother of Marquise Vann who had a great career at UConn. Remember being bummed we didn't recruit him right in our own backyard.

always love seeing people commit to the Service Academies. Congrats to Preston:

Interesting.. this kid can really sling it. Not sure he fits Lashlees QB mold but he's one of the better CT QB prospects the past few years:

 

[Drew]

UConn just offered him as well and he seems at least somewhat interested in learning more. 4* LB from Columbus, OH.

Well that certainly would be a poke in the eye for a top flight CT recruit to land somewhere else in the AAC. Ouch.

Stoking the rivalry I suppose.

Poor Kevon Jones (At least Rivals/ESPN have him listed as a commit)

Poor Kevon Jones (Rivals has him listed as commit)

I know right, I wonder if we can't get a hold of someone at 247 and tell them he's a commit. Could've gone to class calculator and added him in and then put it in there but I got lazy
