I wish Coach Fickell all the best and think that he will do a good job.

UC might be close to hiring Mike Denbrock as OC.

GT says he's 99% sure it's done. Positive reviews for the guy as a recruiter as well.

Footballscoop saying he hasn't accepted yet. I know Thamel is tight with Urban and his info from Columbus is legit, but might have jumped the gun a bit this time. I'm monitoring...

Home run hire if so, from a coaching and recruiting standpoint.

Reports are now coming out of South Bend that Denbrock has told officials at ND that he's leaving.

Kelly's ship is sinking and boy Fickell is making an impact early on.

I certainly wish Luke / Coach Fickell well . IMO he will do a good job for UC.

Joker Phillips will be the new WR coach.

Putting together a high level P5 staff so far. Know of at least one more P5 veteran on the way. Plus a major local commitment tomorrow? Momentum...

I'm still salty over Larkin but his friend will work.

Luke Fickell's first commit is 4* Lasalle athlete Jarell White. Not a bad way to start a new era.

Is he a 4 star? Not that it cares, Fick just getting started.

Rivals lists him as a 4*. Other 3 outlets list him as a high 3*.

 

Would be nice if he could get Tresean Smith to stay home with him along with Colerain boys Kyle Bolden and Keontae Jones.

Sounds like Malik Vann of Fairfield is being pursued hard by the new staff as well.

 

What stuck out most to me in White's interview after committing was him saying the old staff offered but never really pursued him hard. How the hell do you not go after a top 20 kid in the state that is in your own backyard?!?
