Depending on how this Spring pans out (attrition afterwards) I could see this kid suiting up for the Huskies this fall instead of in January...

Still think he ends up as a greyshirt unless UConn has a number of people leaving after the spring practices

He's a solid young man and I wish him nothing but success.

Not for nuthin, but UCONN should hire a BB family member to run it's marketing.

Read a story on TOS that OL Tommy Hopkins is now up to 310 lbs.

"Coach Martin sent me a packet," he said. "It's been going well. I've been getting stronger and I'm building up my endurance. I'm about 310-pounds right now and that's the weight I plan to be at when I arrive at UConn."

oh... he's 6-6!

Wow. It's to that point where recruits are giving us info....congrats to all 3 And sorry to junior about that miscommunication. Hope all 3 show out and rep uconn!!

It's actually the Big 33 site contributing to the problem. The first two are listed as University of Connecticut. JJ s listed as UConn.

This is gold. So your telling me that our brand is sending mixed signals? Well i'll be dammedddd who would of saw that coming.

You're wrong. It's been that way long before the re-branding. Two emails and they (Big 33) still haven't changed it. Same issue with Pittsburgh and University of Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania State and Penn State and they are in their State!

 

[gioff23]

Dan, so you're telling me recruits are excluding schools like USC, UCLA, BYU, ND, Duke, Auburn, TCU And others cause they can't find them on the map? Frigging public schools!

(Jalan) Branford flashes offensive talents to lead East All-Stars, earns MVP

http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=482432#.UaysaxEcIwY.twitter

"Jalan Branford plans on playing defense when he gets to the University of Connecticut, but if the Huskies coaches catch a glimpse what he did in Sunday's Voices Berks Senior Football Classic they might have other things in mind. The Reading High star, playing wide receiver for the East, was virtually unstoppable, catching six passes for a Senior Classic-record 213 yards in the West's 40-20 victory. He ran through the West secondary as though he were invisible."

"Despite his offensive abilities Branford wants to stay on the defensive side of the ball, starting with Fork Union Military Academy, where he'll matriculate this fall in order to be eligible to accept U-Conn's scholarship offer."

#UConn commit Chris Britton still in holding pattern but Fork Union or Milford Academy likely landing spots
