2016 Cincinnati Bearcats

[Leonardfan]

Since '05, Cincinnati has started 12, 12, 10, 8, 10, 8, 10, 10, 10, 8 and 5 white starters. In 2016 they look to start 5 again.

The QB situation appears to be a mess going into the season with Tuberville putting Gunner Kiel third on the depth chart. This is a move I do not understand at all as Kiel is a senior who has played well when healthy. I suppose the silver lining is Hayden Moore also played well in Kiel's absence. I still think Kiel will start the season and if he stays healthy and is productive should be a mid-rounder at least in the 2017 draft.

White backups to look out for are: QB Ross Trail, TE Tyler Cogswell, RB Chad Banschbach, WR Brayden Beard, OL Reed Armagost, Will Steur, Morgan James, DE Caleb Ashworth, DL Beau Harmon, LB Ty Sponseller LB Franklin Bruscianelli

Offense
QB- Gunner Kiel or Hayden Moore
LT- Ryan Stout
RG- Ryan Leahy


Defense
LB Bryce Jenkinson
SS Carter Jacobs

Moore has been named the starter over Kiel. I would say Kiels draft prospects are
Non existent now due to the demotion and a career filled with injuries.

What a long, weird, and well traveled career for Kiel without many results..

I had barely heard of Chad B. but looking at some of his old high school video the kid is pretty damn good. Kind of reminds me of a smaller MCaffrey.

Looks like Kiel is back to being the starter - I think it won't do much in terms of his draft stock though - it's likely plummeted to an irreversible level due to tuberville.

Looking forward to the Luke Fickell era as HC in Cincinnati! Supossedly parts of his recruiting philosophy will be getting more local athletes in that program. Apparently at one point in 90s 1/3 of Bearcats team hailed from greater Cincinnati metro. If Fickell sticks true to his word, Cincy will definitely be starting more than 5 pale faces going forward. Plenty of talent on Ohio Valley, why bother going to Florida?!

Fickell has a transfer black quarterback from Ohio St. - very disappointing start to his tenure. Let's not get our hopes up about him

Geez that's screwed from the get go!! But honestly Cincy can do better than a measly 5 starters, that's a no brainer. Tubberville is infamous caste clown to the core glad he's done! It appears Fickell learned how things work from Urban.. So far he looks like another cuck white player turned coach.
