Just over a week ago, Cincinnati fleshed out their 2016 recruiting class with National Signing Day. The damage? 21 high school athletes make up the class with 14 officially signing last Wednesday.
Tommy Tuberville and company put together a class heavily focused on the perimeter with six wide receivers and five players in the secondary to refill at key positions. The Bearcats are trying to replace six receivers and were looking for more depth in the secondary after the defense struggled to stop anyone last season. Cincinnati also added three defensive lineman, two offensive lineman, two linebackers, a running back, a tight end and a quarterback.
