2018 American Athletic Conference Recruiting

[don356]

Looks like Cincy/Fickell picked up 2 of the top 3 or 4 db's in Ohio today, Taj Ward and Arquan Bush. He's definitely taking kids from non Ohio B10 schools, and rumor of a couple more which are 4 stars. He's clearly hurting Mich. St. as Bush and the previous 4 star Vann were Mich St. targets. Rough year for Dantonio.

Cincinnati adds Euclid's Arquon Bush, Solon's Taj Ward to football recruiting class

I really don't know where Houston is getting these scholarships, unless they were under the limit before this year. They had a small senior class and are already starting to approach 20 commits, sitting at 16 currently

If Phillip Montgomery stays at Tulsa a few more years they're going to wind up being really good and maybe even challenge for that NY6 slot. Nice pickup from Blinn College:

Interesting read on how Navy and the other service academies recruit:

How is it that we are getting all these recruits to commit yet still ranked dead last in the AAC in recruiting?

247 rankings are totally inaccurate and should be ignored. Rivals rankings show us @ #10 in the AAC (#77 nationally)

Is the Cincy commit Malik Vann a brother of Marquise Vann? he was from Ohio IIRC

yes he is

UC just offered Fairfield 2018 linebacker/defensive lineman Malik Vann, according to Fairfield coach Jason Krause. It is the first reported offer for Vann, who is 6 feet 3 and 245 pounds. Vann is also the area's first player in the 2018 class to receive a scholarship offer.

Vann is the younger brother of former Fairfield standout Marquise Vann, who is now at UConn.

After multiple daily emails over the past weeks regarding UConn's Recruiting page/info being crap - 247 has updated their site and UConn is now #52 nationally. There is still data disconnects btwn pages/sites but better than it was...

Is Travis Jones really listed as a 5*??? Or, do you think it's a mistake? If not that would be our first 5* recruit ever.

It's a mistake - he's listed as 3* in another 247 profile. They are still having accuracy/compatibilty issues w/ some of their linked pages. They recently merged databases w/ Scout and they still have bugs to work out.

2018 AAC Football Team Rankings

From the above link to the 247 composite team rankings:

As of now, UConn sits 3rd in the AAC- ahead of Houston even though UH has 6 more commits than we do listed. I don't know how that ranking will change when they inevitably change Travis Jones from the 5* he's listed at to a 3* but this is just an incredible effort by our staff so far. They also haven't added in Eli Thomas from last night yet and we still are waiting for another commit to announce publicly.

Most commitments: Navy (30) --> USF (24)
Least commitments: Tulane (7)

1. Cincinnati (16)
2. USF (24)
3. UConn (14)
4. Houston (20)
5. UCF (14)
6. SMU (18)
7. ECU (18)
8. Temple (16)
9. Navy (30)
10. Memphis (14)
11. Tulane (7)
12. Tulsa (8)

Not a high school kid but a nice pickup for UCF: Alabama CB Aaron Robinson transferring to UCF
