Cincinnati OL adds another offer

Cincinnati (Ohio) Anderson two-star offensive tackle Joe Flading has added a new offer to his list, and he's also still be heavily pursued by some of the top teams in the MAC and other conferences.

"I've got three offers right now," Flading said. "I already had Ohio and Toledo offers, and I just got an offer from Kent State. It came about a week ago. It kind of just showed up on my radar, but I'm happy to have it."

Flading said he doesn't have a clear-cut leader, but does like a few teams.

"I need to look into Ohio University, I like them," he said. "I like Cincinnati. I like Miami University. Those are my top choices so far. I'm just waiting to see who else shows up. I would mention I am getting recruited from Air Force also. I'm also getting recruited by the whole MAC conference like Bowling Green and Ball State."

He's not lined up an official visits at this point, but would like to take trips to Miami of Ohio and Ohio. After that, he's kind of up in the air.

"I'm not sure yet," he said. "If Miami offered me, I would go see them. I want to go see Ohio. I haven't really thought about it much past that."

"The school's location is a big thing. I want to look at the depth of the linemen. Their record, the conference, those are the big things."

He said his family and coaches should play a role in whatever his final decision will be.

"They're my mentors in my decision," Flading said. "My coach is just waiting to see. My parents are doing the same. They just want me to check out these places."

Flading said he's having a good season to this point. His team is 4-2 on the year, and he's opening up plenty of big holes.

"We play Loveland this Friday," Flading said. "They always come ready to play, but we beat them every time we play them."
