'We have really good NFL talent here': Cincinnati Bearcats have excelled at development
The biggest mismatch between the University of Cincinnati’s football team and top-ranked Alabama, on paper, comes from the level of recruits they bring into their program.
Recruiting rankings are typically a strong indicator of a team’s future success, bringing in top talent year after year. Alabama seemingly has more stars than the Hollywood Walk of Fame with future NFL players backing up other future NFL players. It’s a big reason why schools like Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Georgia have sustained success.
The Bearcats may not be littered with four-star or five-star prep talents, but they’ve continued to develop top-level players on both sides of the ball.
