Need to get Matt Walsh up there.
i just saw it on lagows twitter, he tweeted it at noel a while ago it looks like. prob before other guys got on board. very cool tho. got me thinking we should do something here for the kids come signing day for fun to show our support. maybe one for O recruits and one for D. i tweeted all the commits i knew for the 13 class 2night so they can all meet marriner and all that gravy. i think its best when the fans help that as its quick progress/relationship building which will keep this class 2gether no matter the off season we are about to have...

That is pretty sweet!! What a great idea to get these kids onto a format like this. Get them psyched up about signing day and about their futures at UConn.....love it!!

on rivals we are mid 50's for team rankings for this class right now. we are easily within distance of a top 50 ranking. the next recruit is soon will bump us to that. on 247 we are mid-late 50's and the same thing as rivals. 247 also is missing a recruit that could bump us some points once they fix that issue. #uptick

He was never there. 24/7 has almost no coverage of NE football. I've actually sent them an email in an effort to help them - their response was laughable.

Noel is such a beast. He should play right away next year. Just get him on the field.
And I talked to the head of 247 back in June or so and he said then that his goal is to have UConn, Rutgers, BC, and Syracuse sites on 247 by the holidays. TIFWIW.

Holines used to be a lineman... Don't think they got the memo that he slimmed down and got in better shape and was moved to LB/DE....That's where he should be playing when he gets to Storrs

Ktuck, thanks, that makes some sense to me now. As to if Holines and Thompson/Stapleton will be the 2 DE’s recruited in this class, why Staff is really looking at other DE’s (other than cya)? If Holines is projected as a possible LB/hybrid then there is an opening, because I would be surprised if we took in 3 DE’s…

Holines looks to be a Trevardo Williams style DE/LB ... Stapleton gets his choice of where to play and might choose offense ... Thompson is probably a few years away and might not stay at DE ... reality is we're really thin at DE because we have no junior DEs, 4 non-seniors total at the position ... would like to have 8 on the roster ... Still room for up to 2 more DEs, especially if they're versatile and can play other positions.
You guys like that? Made it and tweeted to all the recruits on the image. Lagow loved it, he tweeted it instantly to Noel Thomas.

Well done, Buffett! That's pretty cool. I think that the incoming recruits will really appreciate it, and it psyches us up, too. It's a "win-win"!

It's also good to see you back in good spirits, my friend! The recruits can always pick you up after a hard week...

Honestly, I don't see Holines as a replacement for Trevardo... Unless he's got similar quickness... Would love it if a kid like Stacey Thomas considered us... He's really in the Trevardo mold... We've offered him but there's no interest.. He'd be a stud rushing off the edge for us....

You misunderstood me. When I said it was "good to see you back in good spirits", I meant Captain Morgan's, Smirnoff, Bacardi,....

Tonite's the night for a Long Neck Corona Extra or two while I watch the game. I'll nurse the first one early on, but if we go back to doing what we've been doing come half # 2 lately I'll be guzzling the second one down...

16 of our 18 commits to date have landed a 3* ranking from 1 of the big 4 sites. all 16 of those have gotten 3* from one of rivals/espn/247 as we know scout has been playing with us a bit rankings wise. of those 16, 12 of them have multipe or all acroos the board 3* rankings.
of those 18 commits they together have 24 other relevant offers that i have in blue or red in the op. we have no real stud in this class that carrys 10 offers by himself but a very respectable spread of many with a few other offers.
i stand by my #uptick and await more news soon on #19.

As it stands now, we are ranked 4th in BE recruiting on rivals, I know there's still more time left, but we've always been 7th or 8th. Let's see how we finish.
