Hey guys, I caught up with one of UC's visitors for the spring game, Quince Orchard (Md.) three-star CB Aydan West. He's got 19 total scholarship offers, including one from the Bearcats.
West told me that was the first time he'd been on campus in Clifton and he loved the attention he said he got from the staff. He's talked a lot with Cass Simmons on the staff, but also with assistant coach Kerry Coombs. West told me "I get a good feeling from Coach Coombs." Specifically, he likes Coombs' personality, but also how he treats his players and the record he has of putting players in the NFL. West said he believes he'd have the opportunity to play as a freshman at UC and would get a "fair chance."
Before that visit, West said he was at SMU's spring game on April 5, but he didn't have a lot of positives to say there. He told me he didn't talk to any coaches and didn't see campus, since the game was at a nearby high school due to construction on Ford Stadium. He also visited TCU while he was in Texas and felt like he got more positives out of that visit. That's not one I'd worry about, though.
Right now, West has official visits planned May 31 at West Virginia, June 7 at Virginia, June 13 at UC and June 21 at Wake Forest. West Virginia is the one I'd watch most here. West hinted that he might decide even before he takes those visits, in the next month or so. I think it's between the first three, but in that order. So UC has some ground to make up here. But it will be interesting to see if he does take any of those official visits. Definitely will be one to the program he chooses.
Full story coming.
