Not Too Early Big XII Predictions: No. 10, Cincinnati
The Cincinnati Bearcats are a popular pick to rise from the lower depths and make waves in the Big XII this season. They've even popped up on a couple of preseason top-25 rankings. Alas, they won't make mine. Cincinnati was a team that I felt underachieved last season. The did...

Luke Kandra's call to former Elder teammate Joe Royer helps make him a Cincinnati Bearcat

Cincinnati Bearcats Quarterback Race: Three Players to Watch
The Cincinnati Bearcats are one of the Big 12 teams going into fall workouts with an unsettled situation at starting quarterback. Emory Jones ran out of eligibility, so his transfer in to the Bearcats last season was a short-term solution. Coach Scott Satterfield has options going into fall workouts, each of which could be longer-term plays as the Bearcats begin their second year in the Big 12.
Defection…Top 6A RB from Simon Kenton takes his talents to Anderson HS in Ohio… @rell_turner1 @CoachEvanDreyer
Turner led the classification in rushing yards from scrimmage in ’23. Durrell Turner was among the top junior RBs in Kentucky’s “Big Boy” classification (6A) a year ago. You would think Roy Lucas and his charges would be excited about his return. However, that little thing called transfer makes predicting any success from year to year a dicey proposition. Turner will play at Anderson HS outside Cincinnati, OH in ’24 and the RB is already stockpiling some offers.
