He had a rough game against the CA D1 commit heavy defense but a lot of QBs would: Brunswick falls to Cheshire Academy in Wayne Sanborn Bowl

FWIW I heard from someone who is close with an Xavier coordinator that Will Lewis has no interest in UConn. He mentioned Wisconsin as someone that Lewis is interested in.

 

[CoachVern]

Does Uconn have interest in him? I don't believe they have offered and I think only Ivy schools have offered him to date. It would be nice to have the local kid come in and guide the program, but they need to be smart when looking at QB. I don't think this kid is FBS material.

If I apologize would you just ignore what I said yesterday? I apologize. My point was meant to be very limited about players who say they have I-A offers and don't take them, but I wish I hadn't botheredl

2016 New Haven Register All-Area Football MVP: Nico Ragaini the difference maker for Notre Dame-WH - GameTime CT
Not sure if there is any interest from the new staff, but it looks like Nico Rigaini, (WR/Notre Dame-WH) will do a PG year. This kid is a tremendous athlete and player. Could be a nice fit in Lashlee's offense with his versatility. He was always the best player on the field in the biggest games. "He was committed to play lacrosse at Cornell, but has since entertained the idea to continue his football career." Ragaini also anchors NDWH 4x100 relay team during the winter.

Funny how Nova offered Dillon Harris (top 2 recruit in CT), but UConn hasn't yet. Maryland, Michigan, and BC have all offered. I bet this changes quickly now that we have Nova's DC. Wonder what the previous staff at UConn was waiting for here...

 

[Exit 4]

While we haven't offered yet, according to twitter, Billy Crocker is following Millville NJ's Clayton Scott, a very nifty RB who racks up tons of yardage after contact with remarkable balance.

At the 10 min mark, check out the ridiculous play where he tosses the ball forward for a toachdown after being bottled up behind the line. Lots of ridiculous plays in this highlight reel.

[uconnphil2016]

He could come to UConn and start day 1 of spring ball

 

[Drew]

Curome Cox and Isaac Taylor-Stuart are now following each other on Twitter, would expect that we've offered or will be offering soon. 4* DB from San Diego

Jeeze we're getting busy. I like it.

I don't understand making offers to 2018 kids with 10+ offers already, particularly those from 3 times zones west. And who do we have out there right now?

 

[huskymedic]

Brevin Jordan is a 6-3 240lb TE/OLB from Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas Nevada. 21 FBS offers

I don't understand making offers to 2018 kids with 10+ offers already, particularly those from 3 times zones west. And who do we have out there right now?

What's interesting though is that it appears we are offering multiple guys from the same school. Could it be a strategy suggested or employed in the past by one of our new coaches? Like it though...it's getting our name known in some talent-rich high schools!
