In being recruited and committed to AQ schools they are going to be called at least 3 star recruits. To be clear, I'm not saying that Cincinnati wouldn't be recruiting them if they weren't "3-star recruits." Rather, I'm saying that the recruiting websites say "Hey, look at this guy, an AQ team signed him, we'd better call him at least a 3 star or people might start to think we just make-up these ratings."
