Guys, just wanted to update you all on a big target for Cincinnati who for sure won't be signing anywhere tomorrow. The Bearcats have zeroed in on Coffee County (Ga.) three-star wide receiver Dalrone Donaldson.

Cincinnati offered Nov. 21 and many (including the Bearcats' staff) have thought UC has a great shot in large part because he decommitted from Central Michigan the next day. And assistant coaches Gino Guidugli and Joker Phillips have both made in-home visits with him the past two weeks.
Right now, I can without a doubt say the Bearcats are the clear leader. But it might not stay that long. Donaldson basically feels like he can do better. Not to put UC down, but he's pretty intent on playing for a power five school. He told me, "I know I’m a power five receiver. Whichever power five school comes at me, I’ll be gracious for it." So Donaldson is waiting on a power five school and honestly, there aren't too many I think he'd turn down.
Buuuuut, for the time being, none have offered. His other offers include Middle Tennessee, Tulane, Troy, Colorado State, Georgia Southern and Central Michigan. He called Miami his 'dream school' and said he wishes he could hear from Tennessee, Texas A&M and North Carolina.
Donaldson said he likes Guidugli a lot. He likes how Guidugli has told him UC needs a playmaker and could make a difference right away if he works hard. Donaldson said he also likes the offense, at least, what he's heard.
Donaldson has not visited anywhere this fall. He has an official visit set Jan. 12 to Cincinnati, so that bodes well. But basically, Donaldson has the mindset of waiting as long as possible for power five offers, so that's what to watch. If not, it could well be the Bearcats. If, they're willing to wait. We'll see.
Full story coming.
