When you are a college coach during the regular season, you are fighting a war on two fronts. On one side, you are preparing weekly for games, doing actual coaching and dealing with the media. On the other end, you are still building the program up through recruiting. Luke Fickell seems to have found a good balance between the two, as just this week the Cincinnati Bearcats have received commitments from two more recruits. There was defensive back Jaylen Jackson earlier this week and now Ryan Montgomery.
Montgomery’s commitment not only gives UC a 19th commit for the 2018 class, but it shows that Fickell is going to continue to pillage the countryside of Ohio to fill the roster, something that has been lacking for years.
