At 6'4 235 and 6'5 215 I would say they both appear to be OLB's in the 3-4 not DE.Not very necessary in 3-4. We need speed off edge from olb, not de.

Just an observation. Profile says Pro-Style quarterback. He doesn't seem to match the skill sets of Shirreffs and Davis. If the offense is moving in a different direction, it would appear he isn't really a fit. Just my opinion.
Some names of DT QBs (according to 247 sports) that I have compiled that I think UConn has a realistic shot to get if they recruited them.
Clayton Oliver - Just got recently offered by USF on December 2nd, which is his first offer. 6'2" 187 lbs
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1641443/highlights/120004382
Akevious Williams - only has FCS offers but P5 schools like Florida, Georgia Tech, and South Carolina have kept tabs on him. 6'2" 187 lbs
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1397979/highlights/148422436
Jalen Miller - He faked a NIU committment earlier this year. Is he friends with Moses Mayes? 6'0" 185 lbs
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3008690/highlights/192383377
Sage Atwood - Has offers from Wake Forest, Navy, Florida International, and a few FCS schools.
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/473516/highlights/193138379
Kalen Whitlow - Just committed to Western Carolina yesterday. Could sway this commitment if an effort is made. 6'1" 180 lbs
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1642321/kalen-whitlow
Carter McCown - Related to NFL QB Josh McCown. Received some interest from Texas and Texas A&M earlier this year. 6'4" 185 lbs. My personal favorite from this list, if I do say so...
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2162400/highlights/180321387
Riley Wilson - Only has interest from FCS schools but has the size that the staff seems to love (6'5", 210 lbs). Transfered from a 10-0 to a 0-10 school in the offseason in order to receive more playing time. This year, led that team to a 7-3 record as well as winning a playoff game.

I didn't include anyone that has been committed to a school for longer than 4 months.
So what do you guys think?
per rivals, visitors this weekend:
Tyler Davis QB 5.5 6-3/214
Tyler Hudanick OL 5.5 6-5/290
Kirk Livingstone DE 5.4 6-4/235
Nolan Ulizio OL - 6-4/293
Shows the DE Milan Lanier - 6-5/215 visited this past weekend
I wonder if the staff will look at Michael O'Connor who is a former 4 star transferring from PSU. Buffalo was recruiting him out of hs so Patterson probably has a relationship built with him. He's a 6'4 225
I should have watched the video. It was just an observation I based off his profiles as I stated in my post.Did you look at his any video or did you make that conclusion based off of his Rivals profile? I looked at his video and he definitely is not a pro-style QB. Rivals isn't always accurate with their assessments.
I think we've found our QB...

#UConn was in to see @VBFootball QB @Carter_Stanley. #Huskies trying to get him on a visit. U of Tennessee at Martin also showing interest.
Carter Stanley. 6'2" 188 lbs from Vero Beach, FL. Vero Beach High School. Can't find any more info on him.

Highly doubt it. O'Connor is a pocket passer.

Wonder if they're there to also see a few teammates of his:
Reche Thomas OG, 6'4" 325 lbs: https://rivals.yahoo.com/connecticu...omas-163631;_ylt=Aj40tNxxOLczq95mE1cRbEIIrpB4. 3* prospect (per rivals) with offers from Illinois, Purdue, USF, Temple, and several FCS programs
Antonio Jones-Davis DB, 6'1" 190 lbs: https://rivals.yahoo.com/connecticu...avis-166444;_ylt=AgFvHTl2q1LAU0GULFJ9f7cIrpB4. Only offer showing is Illinios.
Tyler Hortsman, 6'3" 200 lbs.: https://rivals.yahoo.com/connecticu...tman-162118;_ylt=AmBdwTdri.ediExCGf2fwcUIrpB4. Committed to Bowling Green, with offers from Rutgers and Wake Forest.
So is Daniel Parr the QB out of FL UConn tried to poach. I think the staff is looking for a star ( winner ), not specifically a pro-style or dual- threat QB. I know it must seem that they're looking for a dual-threat QB, but then how do you explain Parr? Unless Cummings is just confused cause I am.
http:// /Player/Daniel-Parr-34542
Yes, but Parr has the speed to move out of the pocket if he needs to or so wishes to.
Check out the run he made at around the 2:15 mark here.
O'Connor doesn't have that kind of speed. He would be a misfit for the kind of offense that Diaco wants to run.

He looks like he has speed in this video.
O'Connor looks more like a runner than Parr. O'Connor's high school team it almost resembles the offense UConn runs. We should go after him.
I live in Vero Beach, haven't made it to any games (I think that will have to change next fall), but there HS team is always very good. We hold their booster golf tournament every year at the club where I work. They had a kid starting at LB for Notre Dame when they went to National Championship game. Must have just missed Diaco. Pretty cool he was in my own back yard.I think we've found our QB...

If that's what 5.15 looks like then I must run about a 9.3! Offense does look very similar. Stanley from VB looks a lot like Whitmer.I admit I only looked at O'Connor's ESPN profile and saw the 5.15 40-yard dash time. Clearly it was wrong. He can run. We should get him if we can.
do we really want another Whitmer thoughIf that's what 5.15 looks like then I must run about a 9.3! Offense does look very similar. Stanley from VB looks a lot like Whitmer.
