Please do not interpret my comments as saying Rose will not choose UConn or that UConn is not interested in Rose. Neither is true. But if he chooses UConn, it's not going to be as a QB. That's not to say that he can't get on campus and totally impress them. It's also not to say that UConn...

Chill out guys. I want Rose to play QB at UCONN just as much as any of you, believe me. I wish this wasn't true. Don't believe it if you choose not to. I'm not saying he's not choosing UConn. I'm saying they don't plan on taking him as a QB. I'm as frustrated about it as any of you. I...

Not true, Vike. Diaco told Rose he doesn't think he's a QB. Go figure- over 70% completion percentage and nearly broke the state TD record. Easily the best QB in CT. Starts this season with a 300 yd game and 6 TD's- with only throwing one pass in the 3rd Q and sitting out the 4th. Told by...

At least 5 teams on Husky72's list for offers/interest are for QB. My last post is also no longer correct in one regard. UConn has very recently had Rose in and discussed QB with him. It looks like they are becoming more interested in him at that position.

Well said Husky72. He has nothing to prove to any conference- only to the college recruiters. And they become more aware of him every day. What the recruiting sites don't say is that a lot of the interest coming in now for Rose is at QB, not TE. I think over the summer he's going to prove...

That's the problem. Unfortunately, some of these conferences are too big and the teams are required to play each other. That leaves little or no out of conference games, so the better teams around the state cannot play each other. I think we would all love to see Southington and all of the...

MJB14- You are absolutely correct. I just didn't want to get into details about the whole Elite 11 process in my initial post saying he is going. However, it should also be noted, that the Elite 11 regionals are part of the Elite 11 camp and process, and they are not open to any player like...

The pressure being put on this kid will eventually do him in. He's 12!! He's not emotionally developed enough to handle it. Look at how many college age kids crumble under pressure. This is just setting the kid up to fail. And then what happens to him when he does fail. At least let him...

The family is into hockey because Jay's older brother played for a while. They used to build a rink in their back yard for him to practice on. His brother is now playing football at CCSU, but they still follow hockey. BC tried getting Jay to commit while on campus. They want him at QB and...

Buffett10 didn't trash his dad. The TX dad thread reference just scared him off. He's not used to how things are said in here and that people just state their opinions about certain things. Most of us know it's nothing personal. I think Husky72 might be the dad of one of Jay's teammates and...

Easy there people. Putting this kid up against HOF, Super Bowl winning QB's just isn't fair to him. He's a HS junior who just finished his first varsity season at QB. Personally, I think he was the best QB in the state this year. Yes, there are others who may disagree or think another kid...

Wow Husky72, I thought I was Jay's biggest backer in here. Look, the kid is a serious player. I'm certainly no football coach or college scout, but he has the tools. Yes, he is going to some of the big camps this summer. Yes, he is starting to get attention from some of the big programs...

huskyrob1, I totally respect your opinion on your top three players. All are very good players and if Evanchick or Allen got it over Rose, I really couldn't argue it. But I would certainly put Rose ahead of Piccirillo. The award goes to the individual player, not the team, and having seen...

Either this was corrected since your post or you may have missed something. Just checked the link. That picture is Jay Rose. Did I miss something in your post?? Somebody needs to tell me how Piccirillo gets player of the year over Rose. Rose has a higher completion pct. (70.5%-62%), more...

I get it. I know this is how job hiring is done nowadays. And I've learned throughout my career to spell check and proof read everything. But that doesn't mean this is the best way to hire the best candidate. Keywords and computer filtering? It just can't be disputed that good candidates...

Interesting take storrsroars. I like that. Are you in that management level where you may get emailed directly? Just wondering if any management would accept that instead of going through the "normal" hiring process. I just think that dumping a candidate because they use "the wrong font" in...

Sorry for jumping into this thread so late, but I have to chime in. Chin Diesel, I think you're doing your candidates and your company a disservice by not taking a couple of minutes to read through a resume completely. Just because somebody doesn't grab your attention in the first ten seconds...

Louis- His offers are from UConn, Boston College and West Virginia, so far. There are several others who have been in contact with him as well.

I was really hoping to stay out of this part of the conversation and see if we could get back onto the thread topic, but since that's not happening, I'll throw my two cents in. Huskyrob1, sounds like you're an FCIAC guy and I'm a Southington guy, so we're both going to have some bias towards...

I'm good with that. I'm not arguing. TE or QB, I think he'd be a pretty good fit. Now, whether they get him may be another story. Regardless of who they get at QB, I think we'll all agree they need one and the future at that position isn't on the roster right now.

huskysupporter- I see him as a QB, but certainly couldn't argue against your opinion. He is an athletic kid and if he plays TE at the next level, I think he'll be successful there as well. Either way, I think he would help UConn anyway.

Family friend. And yes, I am somewhat biased towards this kid...sort of. I'm not a football coach, but I have watched a lot of HS football (I know, sounds like the Holiday Inn Express commercial, lol). But it doesn't take an NFL or college coach to see some things that he shows on the field...

Very valid point/concern Bonehead, especially in light of what we have seen from Boyle so far. I'll try to hit your points. I think we've all seen a bunch of HS football and I just can't help noticing all of these HS QB's just staring down one receiver and throwing to him, only to have it...

Hey guys, I thought this thread was for discussions about the recruitment of Jay Rose, not about which conference is the strongest or who has the best team in the state this year. That discussion belongs elsewhere. Believe me, there are plenty of those conversations going around on GameTimeCT...

We might get to see him play against 2016 UConn recruit QB/TE Jasen Rose from Southington, if they both make the LL Large championship game. That would be interesting.

Yeah, that was supposed to be their biggest test to date. It was 41-0 at halftime. I don't see any challenge coming until the Thanksgiving Day game against Cheshire. They're 6-0. Jay Rose went 13-18, 260 yds, 1 INT, 4 TDs. Guys, he only played the first half and the first series of the...

Yes, it's true. I've been to all of the games. Against Glastonbury, he aggravated an injury in the 3rd quarter. The injury happened in practice and he fell on the shoulder when he got tackled along the sideline. He should be playing the whole game tonight against Hall. Neither team has lost...

He already has an offer from UConn. Who knows why ESPN doesn't have it on their recruiting page. They also have Rose on the recruiting page, but none of his other schools listed. I don't know where they get information from or why this kid fell through the cracks on the website.

That's true. He played QB through youth and it's also my understanding that he played QB on the JV team while playing TE on varsity the past two years while Barmore was there. Friday will be a big game for him. As we all know, this is still early in the process. The schools are all looking...

His offers right now are for TE, but don't be surprised when the offers begin to change to QB. He has only played 4 games at QB at the varsity level, so colleges won't offer him there until they see more. He played the last couple of years at TE and backed up Stephen Barmore, who just went on...

Perfectly valid question. I don't think anyone would claim Simsbury and Manchester are powerhouses this year, but they are solid teams. Glastonbury and New Britain are very good teams this year. So his numbers aren't blown up by playing cupcakes. He has a big test this Friday against Hall...

The WV offer is true. And Danzz is correct, Iowa and Cuse are sniffing around him as well. Kid can play. 30-36, 360 yds, 6 TD, 1 rushing TD against New Britain Friday night. 81-112, 1018 yds, 16 TD's, 4 INT, 72% passing completion, 124.9 QBR, 254 yds/gm on the season in only 4 games. And he...
