The recruiting scene is at a boiling point, transfers are coming and going, and many factors are taking shape that will indicate how Big East teams will look player personnel-wise next year. Here are some links (mostly courtesy of scout.com -- subscription required, but the headlines should give you most of the info you need to know) to give you a rundown:
- It's down to Pitt and UNC for TE Malcolm Bush (Pitt is the favorite at this point) -- Scout / Rivals
- Southern signal caller Clayton Moore (former Ole Miss commit) likes what he sees at Syracuse -- Scout / Rivals
- Brett McMurphy of the Bulls Report says that USF is now an official option for former Miami QB Robert Marve
- Shady's going pro....Chas at Pitt Blather comes to terms with the decision
- Another day, another player transferring from the 'Ville
- Mitch Vingle of the Charleston Gazette examines WVU's recruiting
- The Louisville Courier-Journal's Tom Heiser says "good riddance" to Matt Simms transferring from Louisville
Also, in case anyone didn't notice: Brian Kelly is not interested in the BC job opening, as some speculated he might be due to his Boston roots and his Irish Catholic background. Sorry BC. Priceless quote from Kelly on the situation:
“I grew up there and watched BC...We’ve got a great deal of respect for their
program, but that’s not a job I would be interested in. At the end of the
day, I’ve got a better situation here at the University of Cincinnati.”
