I went over and looked at their board just to see what there was to see (bunch of s unsurprisingly) and FWIW, their recruiting thread says this isn't a big class really, not small either but not one of those 25-30 recruit class. The post said they have 17 schollies available right now, but ti will likely end up about 22 due to attrition.

Unfortunately, I think maybe 1) Addazio can sell ice to an eskimo and 2) maybe Spaziani left something breathing; and 3) most importantly PP can't get anybody excited about this thing here.

I realize the whole thing (recruiting) is a crapshoot but it would be nice to see something of a future to look forward to and it seemed like we were making strides, Sylva, Cochran, Boyle, Jasudowich(sp?), etc. Now, I worry maybe it was the coach up there not the whole program that's flat lined.

One coach can not flatline a program. They can dig a deep hole that it will take a good coach five years to dig out of, but they can not flatline it.

See, e.g., Robinson, Greg and Kragthorpe, Steve.

I was hoping for more of a Greg Robinson transition than a Steve Kragthorpe transition from a recruiting standpoint.

In other news we offered Lubern Figaro.

Got it thx.. missed it earlier.

BC is pressing him hard for an answer.

From a BC site: >>Everett athlete Lubern Figaro has visited Boston College twice in just about the last week and the Eagles are pushing for a commitment.When asked whether Steve Addazio and his staff are pushing hard for him to make a decision, Figaro simply responded, "Yeah." "I'm just waiting it out before I make my commitment," Figaro added. "I have a very high interest [in Boston College]. I'm just making sure there aren't any other schools that come in."<<

Looks good to me. Hope we can beat BC out. Hate to see Addazio already pushing for a commitment when we've only just offered.

JB is reporting that 6-4 305 lb DT Pete Mokwuah of Staten Island's (N.Y.) St. Joseph By The Sea paid a visit to campus last week to view spring practice.

The usual cast of characters are involved besides UConn - he has a Rutty offer and interest from Cuse, Temple, UMD, Pittsburgh, UVA and Penn State (took unofficial visit).

From NJ.com article - "Mokwuah, who stands 6-4 and 300 pounds, is currently in the process of growing into his big body. He began his high school career as a 6-foot, 180-pound part-time skill position athlete."
