Bearcat blather

It's official, 4-star quarterback Dominique Brown has committed to the Cards. He was once headed to Cincinnati, but opened up his prospects in wake of Brian Kelly's departure. Here's some reactions from Bearcat fans to losing a superstar in their own backyard to a conference rival. You guessed it, they're not too pleased...

* Charlie Strong at Louisville = Shady.

* UC, UL and GT were recruiting him as a QB. OSU recruited him as an athlete. With the addition of Brown, UL/Strong has put together a top 30 recruiting class in less than 2 months
 
* Good athlete, but not recruited as a qb by anybody. Strong is in a big hurry to fill spots on an emaciated roster.

* Big recruiting blow to UC. No reason why UC should lose local/former commits to a rival school from the same conference (esp if the school has a new HC that has never coached a game yet)
 
* The kid wanted to play QB....UC was going to move him to another position and UL promised him they'd keep him at QB. Simple as that. Though it smells like Strong would tell the kid anything to get him in the door and then worry about the position change later, especially since noone else wanted him at QB
 
* Brown has the talent to play QB, it will just take a few years to groom him into an actual QB and not just a runningback lining up under center like he did in high school. A rebuilding program like UL can afford to take that risk on him, UC cant
