With two dozen scholarship offers, one of the most highly recruited 2011 prospects in the state of Indiana is Warren Central's Kiaro Holts.  The Indiana offensive tackle's suitors include California, Cincinnati, Florida, Michigan State, Mississippi, Oregon, Purdue, USC, Virginia Tech, Boston College, Wisconsin and many others.

Just when you think Butch Jones is finished recruiting, the new Bearcat head football coach adds another player, and that's exactly what he did earlier today (Monday) when Ty Phillips (DT) verbally committed to the Bearcats.

Since Cincinnati didn't signed a running back in 2009 or 2010, that position will be a definite priority for Butch Jones and his Bearcats in 2011.  One of the top prospects holding a UC offer is Jameel Poteat from Bishop McDevitt High School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Bearcat Lair spoke with the stud tailback last weekend to inquire about his recruitment.

It has been over two weeks since his unofficial visit to Cincinnati to see Bearcat Bowl IV, but Bearcat Lair caught up with Sandy Creek wideout, Alex Chisum, this week to get an update on his recruitment.

Welcome to "The Season Rewind" we are going to take a look at how each player did in this past season. We will also take a sneak peak into what each player needs to work on for next season. Up first is Cashmere Wright.

Although Justin Murray waited until Friday to formally commit to the University of Cincinnati, the decision had really been made the moment the Bearcats offered him a scholarship.  As an offensive lineman at Sycamore High School, Murray wasn't often in the limelight, but the college recruiting process provides the big men in the trenches a chance to get noticed, and the junior was enjoying the attention, that is, until he had a heart-to-heart talk with his mother (Vikki).

Go inside the Lair to see which Bearcat recruiting targets stood out during day 2 in Bloomington.

After not signing a running back in 2009 or 2010, it's no secret the Bearcats would like to add a couple quality runners in 2011, but with the pickings rather slim in Ohio, Coach Jones and his staff have had to go well beyond the Buckeye State's borders to find what they want.  And one of the players they apparently want resides in the northern part of Big Ten country.

The loaded talent pool in the state of Indiana just keeps churning out high major players, and yet another one is bursting onto the scene for the class of 2011 in Mitch McGary. Go inside The Lair to see where Cincinnati stands with the versatile big man.
