Nice interview by Richie S @ Rivals


>>The class of 2018 DB sounded excited about receiving an offer after a strong camp performance and admitted he knows quite a bit about the Huskies' program.

“I was really excited about the offer because I feel like they have a great program. Also, they have coaches there that can take my game to the next level. I really like that they are a top-50 academic school in the country and they have a strong history of developing DB’s with the same structure as myself,” Lazarus said.<<

Looks like he enjoyed his visit. A big hitter with some legs. Would be a nice get. I hope he commits this month.

Yes, the spot light means someone has committed. I'm betting Xavier Smith, which if true, would give us a great step forward in restoring athleticism (better side to side speed, more ability to plug the middle) to the LB corp with Jones and Harris. Plus we have TJ Gardner coming in this year.

by "meaning" I meant who committed, I agree Smith does seem the likely one though, I have to go watch his film

Might be Malik Banks based on a change in Twitter profile. But no confirmation.

Malik Xavier Banks out of DE (CB/SS) 6'1 195lbs

If his twitter profile is any proof it clearly reads:

M.X.B™ 9️⃣

God Got Me I won't be outworked #Blessed UCONN Commit #ThePack DE CT

My point above but I'm waiting for more before starting a new commit thread on Football board . We've seen different definitions of "Commit" before.

Daevon‏ @daevon_7 5m 5 minutes ago
Excited to say I have received my 9th offer from The University of Connecticut #lb#us

Daevon Robinson is a 6-4 205lb WR/DE/Athlete from Shawnee High School in Medford New Jersey. Other offers from Coastal Carolina, NC State, ODU, Rutgers, Temple, UCF, UMass and BC.


From a Todderick Hunt NJ.com article back in February:

>>"I play almost every position in high school," he said. "I mostly play receiver on offense and defensive end on defense, but I move around a lot to help the team out. I also play quarterback, I play tailback, I play tight end. And on defense, I play safety and I play outside linebacker."

So far, teams have recruited him to four spots. "I've heard teams say they are looking at me as an athletic tight end, big receiver, defensive end, outside linebacker," he said. "Those are the main positions Ive heard that coaches want me to play."<<

3-star N.J. ATH Daevon Robinson to pick between Rutgers and 3 others within next 2 weeks

>>The 6-4, 215-pounder will choose between Rutgers, UConn, N.C. State and Virginia out of his 12 total offers.<<

Elijah Jones is a 6-4 170lb DB/WR from Cardinal Hayes High School in Bronx New York. Other offers from Albany, Army, Howard, Purdue and BC. Was up @ UConn during Junior days.
Elijah Jones highlights

Snippet on Jones from Rivals 3 Stripe camp this weekend: >>One of the most impressive performances in a one-on-one setting was Jones intercepting passes on each of his first three reps and having the ball just deflect off his fingers on his fourth rep. The long and lean athlete prospect seemed to know where the ball was going before the quarterback even threw it. He still has some fundamental kinks to work out, but it is nothing that cannot be coached up. That ballhawk mentality, though, is uncoachable, and Jones definitely has it.<,

Thank you family friends and coaches for putting me in a position to be successful and after meetings I've decided to attend Boston College

Had picked up Temple, Maryland, Rutgers and a few other offers since OP.
