The recruiting sites don't seem to have him connected to any prospects, but I don't know for sure.

IIRC, Foley was the lead recruiter for Okouman and Terry possibly a couple of others.
Don't quote me on that though as I'm not 100% certain.
should we be worried if a recruit was recruited by a coach that coaches a position other than their own? After all, I would imagine recruits feel better knowing the head coach is the same that reached out and extended the offer to them as opposed to a coach on the other side of the ball that wouldn't work with them as closely on a daily basis other than "recruiting them". While they're all on the same staff, I think losing an OL coach who recruited (not to mention the entire staff did ass well I presume), wouldn't affect a recruit who appears to play in the defensive secondary in Terry and as a LB or DE in Okounam.

Was reported that Cummings was the lead recruiter for Okounman... But I do think MF was lead on Matt Peart.

No, because it happens all the time. Regardless of position and the what-nots, the main goal is to identify prospective recruits and then pass the word on to the head coach.
My point exactly. I was responding to @The Viking regarding recruits Foley may have been the lead man on. You might have picked this up had you read my full post and understood who I quoted. Or you were simply just responding.
I guess the jury has spoken.

And to all the people that think I'm going to red-shirt, when I take my steps back to do the opening kickoff vs. Villanova, watch what I do
Quite the cocky/confident bunch this class is turning out to be.

Dario Highsmith is taking an official visit to UCONN. I would love to see him in a Husky uniform. I wonder if he would get a ship or a preferred walk on?

Is it me, or is this kid a drama queen?
You're the one that made an issue to begin with. But ok.
Where did you see he is taking a visit?

If you click on the highlighted/bold text in Bill's link its in that article.
Clicked on it, just missed it the first time. I see it now. Thanks!
Where will he play at the next level? RB or DB?

I think he could play either or. His uncle Donald was a great RB on some of the best New Haven Chargers teams that were always in the mix for the D2 national title. That is a great FB family and good people too. We don't have RB in this class I would take him at that slot or DB. Kid is a player.
2013 CT Gatorade player of the year. He is a player indeed. Who won the award this year?

Zach Allen from New Canaan
Northwestern commit. Thanks! Does Highsmith have an offer from UConn or just interest at this point?

Not sure he has an offer as of right now, but my guess is they will offer when he comes in. My guess is he comes in as a cornerback to start with since UCONN lost Pettus-Dixon who decided to stay closer to home. At worse I see him getting a preferred walk on spot with the ability to earn a scholarship in time.
Good point about Pettus Dixon. We haven't seen a DB commit to fill his slot yet.

Looks like Highsmith being recruited as a DB. I, for one, am thrilled to hear what the staff is focusing on in terms of filling few remaining slots on the big uglies
"They mentioned being a preferred walk-on freshman year and then potential scholarship after that due to scholarship needs for lineman for them," said Highsmith, who mentioned that UConn is recruiting him as a defensive back.
