Vinci to the Huskies!..

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Damn, we can attract athletes away from Ivy League schools?!

If Vinci turns out as good as another kid, maybe a LB from Brookfield, that primarily attracted Ivy interest, it will probably be adequate. No guarantees, but Lutrus was OK.

This article says Vinci may be used as a fullback at UConn

Vinci also played at St Joseph in Montvale...same hs as MD transfer Ryan Donahue. Another door opened in Bergen County NJ for us by DeLeone. You know the HC at St Joe's took notice...may have even tipped DeLeone off about Vinci prepping at The Hun School.

Yeah, that's who we should be wanting to beat out for recruits. No more taking a back seat on the gridiron to all those Yalies, Johnny Harvards and Big Green's from Dartmouth. Forget beating out the UNC, the Tennessee's, the Maryland and Penn States.

On the other hand, this kid may turn out to be really good - the kind of player the Ivies can only dream about landing (if they cared).

He looks baby-faced with the biceps of a 35 year old.

He looks baby-faced with the biceps of a 35 year old.

How many 35 year olds outside of the NFL do you see with biceps like that? lol. He looks physically matured for a young kid, with a baby face for sure. Could grow, and continue to get stronger. Scary thought. Hope it is natural and not Brian Cushing-like.

247 sports has Vinci rated as ***80. FWIW

Nice. Hadn't seen any rating on him before. Not that it really matters other than for class recognition and talent evaluators. Definitely a good get for the program. Appears very versatile and can play a number of positions effectively.

Curious to see what Levy is rated out as. Haven't seen a rating for him anywhere.

again, fwiw, Levy is **70 on 247sports. that is our lowest rated commit per 247. Vinci rates as our 4th highest.

Thanks for the info! I have to check out 247. Never been on the site. Seen people posting about it a bunch on here though. Free content or paid?

Solid recruiting class. Even before possible RU defections, I am happy.

saw that. i like stars somewhat, others can rip me for it. but what i look for is this usually
5 or 4 and thats a kid with big time potential that might/can play right away and will have offers from alot of schools. i have faith that we will be elevating our recruiting in time, landing these type of kids is a whole upper level of program building.
if a recruits gets 3 for some 1 then i know that atleast one talent person saw film and said thats a solid recruits. most of our class has got a 3 from some 1. im excited about the future!

I would assume the coaches have looked into this, but should we be concerned? I hope Wyatt is passed this and realizes he has a chance to be a stud for UConn.

If throwing a party at his house as a Junior or Senior in high school is the worst thing he's ever done, I wouldn't worry about it.

18 year olds and their freinds caught drinking. Non-issue.

Check out Wyatt Vinci's latest tweet. Seems like he feels he has something to prove. I like the confidence and attitude.

He lives in one bad ass town. Two days after his incident a person reported his iPod was stolen out of the boys locker room. Detectives were assigned to the case. I kid you not.
