Guys, I caught up with one of UC's most recent offers and visitors, Atlanta OL Xavier Canales. Memphis just offered today, but he visited UC last Saturday, after he was offered on April 22.

Canales told me his visit to Clifton was his first time in the Queen City. He toured all the facilities and dorms/apartments and told me, "It's bigger than what I thought." Canales also really likes assistant coach Nic Cardwell, who's been the main one recruiting him. Canales called him "chill," "honest" and "genuine." They talk regularly, every few days or so.
It sounds like Canales was impressed enough that he's officially visiting on June 7. He said he likes the academics at UC and the success/graduation rate of the Bearcats' football players. Canales also likes how the coaches coach, at least what he's seen.
The other officials coming are June 1 to Georgia Tech and June 21 at Georgia State. The Yellow Jackets are the main competition here. I see Ga St as a backup. But he talks to the GT coaches about as much or more than UC and I think there's a pull to stay home. But we'll see how the officials go. I'd say GT is the favorite right now, UC not too far behind, but behind.
Full story coming.
