Princeton linebacker Jaheim Thomas commits to play football for Cincinnati Bearcats Scott Springer, sspringer@enquirer.com
A hot summer has been equally as hot in recruiting circles in Greater Cincinnati as July and early August have seen more commitments and extended offers among local student-athletes.
The University of Cincinnati shot some post-4th of July fireworks off when they landed Jaheim Thomas of Princeton, the No. 5-ranked recruit in the state. The Vikings already have Ohio State commits Paris Johnson and Darrion Henry, who were ranked 1-2 at the time. Henry's announcement came in late June.
