The final recruiting weekend before Wednesday's signing day has concluded. Here's a rundown of some developments at various Big East schools over the weekend:

Cincinnati

To no one's real surprise, the Bearcats officially lost quarterback Luke Massa to Notre Dame and former Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly. Massa had been committed since the summer. In the good news department, they picked up three-star receiver Anthony McClung, who had been committed to Louisville. McClung is a teammate of current Cincinnati pledge and fellow receiver Dyjuan Lewis.

Connecticut

UConn gained a commitment from 6-foot-5 Pennsylvania defensive end B.J. McBryde, who was also being recruited by Penn State.

Louisville

New coach Charlie Strong dipped back into the Florida well again, this time landing four-star outside linebacker Deon Rogers of Port St. Lucie, who decommitted from Georgia. Rogers also considered Florida State, LSU and Ohio State.

Strong now has four four-star recruits from Florida on board.

Rutgers

The Scarlet Knights gained a couple of new commitments over the weekend. Offensive tackle Rob Forst (6-5, 255) dropped Delaware for a chance to play with his older brother, Art. Running back Jawan Jamison, a 5-foot-8, 205-pounder from Jacksonville, Fla., also committed over offers from Clemson and others.

South Florida

It was a busy weekend for new Bulls coach Skip Holtz and his staff.

South Florida gained a pledge from 6-foot-5 quarterback Jamius Gunsby of LaGrange, Ga. He was also offered by Florida and Kentucky. Gunsby is rated as the 69th-best quarterback in the class by Scouts Inc.

The Bulls pulled a scholarship offer from Bradenton, Fla., quarterback Brion Carnes, who wound up committing to Western Kentucky.

South Florida has picked up safety Reshard Cliett from Thomasville, Ga.

West Virginia

Three-star linebacker John Propst, who had committed to West Virginia in June, switched his allegiance to Tennessee.

• Rutgers recruiting coordinator and tight ends coach Joe Susan could be the next head coach at Bucknell, Tom Luicci writes in The Star-Ledger.

• Pitt strength coach Buddy Morris could leave for the Washington Redskins, Paul Zeise reports in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

• New West Virginia assistant Dave McMichael remembers the support Mountaineers fans gave UConn last year after the Jasper Howard tragedy, Bob Hertzel writes in the Times West Virginian.

• The high school coach of Cincinnati commitment Luke Massa says he encouraged Brian Kelly to pursue the quarterback, Jim Meenan writes in the South Bend Tribune. Massa will visit Notre Dame this weekend.

• Greg Schiano's helicopter is making the rounds.

• Former USF offensive coordinator Mike Canales will take the same job at North Texas.

• Indianapolis Colts coach Jim Caldwell, who's heading to the Super Bowl, used to be a Louisville assistant, Rick Bozich writes in The Courier-Journal.

Butch Jones and several of his assistants aren't the only ones going from Central Michigan to Cincinnati.

Quarterback Cody Kater, who had committed to the Chippewas last summer when Jones was the head coach there, has now switched his pledge and says he will sign with the Bearcats next week. He is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound prospect from Montague, Mich., who was also being courted by Northwestern, TCU and others. He passed for 34 touchdowns and ran for 11 more as a senior, but Scouts Inc. says it does not see him as a dual-threat guy at the college level.

Kater's commitment could be key because the other quarterback in Cincinnati's class right now -- local product Luke Massa -- is wavering in his commitment and is being wooed by former Bearcats coach Brian Kelly at Notre Dame.

Cincinnati has gotten a commitment from local quarterback Luke Massa, who chose the Bearcats over Wisconsin, according to the Cincinati Enquirer.

Massa played at Cincinnati's St. Xavier High School but missed all but four games last season with a collarbone injury. He told the Enquirer that some schools wanted to see him this summer at camps to judge his health. But he decided to stay home.

"I really liked just the program and it has completely changed with Brian Kelly there,” Massa said. "I think the way the program is right now we have a good opportunity to do very well in the Big East, which is a good conference. I like the offensive system. I just felt very comfortable.”

The Bearcats did not sign a quarterback in this year's class. Tony Pike is a senior and is backed up by sophomore Zach Collaros and Chazz Anderson. Massa is built a lot like Pike, tall and skinny. The Enquirer has him listed at 6-foot-5 and 205 pounds, while our own Scouts Inc. has him at 6-4, 185. 

Here is the Scouts Inc. profile on the newest Bearcat.
