[HartfordHank]

yup, i wrote about him in my new england thread last week. u should check that thread out hank. do u know of other new england kids that bc is watching? i think i got most of them in the thread. i noticed u guys have offered a good amunt of kids already for the 2013 class but only a couple new england guys.

The only kid that surprised me on the New England thread was the kid from Doherty HS in Worcester. I had not heard of anything from him locally. Also surprised that a kid with his size was not playing basketball. I guess he does the high jump (did 6-0 in the district meet good for third place) for the track team.

 

[FDNY99]

Dan I will keep my eye out for stuff on Tommy Hopkins in Journal News (Westchester paper)

-we have offered tre bell, he has friends at wvu and a offer from fl among a list of others, nj kid...
-john mont from everett is coming for jr day(top 5 new england guy this year imho), he has a uconn offer among others. his mom wants him to go to bc(local) but he wants to go elsewhere.
-tommy hopkins is coming for jr day, will also goto psu jr day. local kid just over the border in ny.
-we have offered shawn curtis, fl kid with other offers

-were up to about 40 offers out for 2013. alot of fl kids. around 5-7 new england kids. hitting nj/pa/dc well so far also.

 

[ktuck911]

i kid not, i refreshed my twitter and at the top of the feed

Hurst just tweeted "uconn #huskies"

not sure if its just a random tweet or what but cross fingers....would be a big time pickup

Who is "Hurst"?

 

[PolisHusky]

Beast! He moves guys like they don't exist. Very mobile for that size. Good move by the staff to offer.

 

[FDNY99]

he just told me he got a uconn offer. his dad played for the pats btw.

According to Rivals Hurst holds offers from UConn, BC, and Perdue with Duke, Maryland, Missouri, Ohio State, Penn State, and Southern University having intrest.

 

[noeynox]

Hurst looks like a baller. Thanks for the work you put into recruiting, Huskyfandan. You should try and work for the UConn Rivals site. Does he have other offers or were we his first?

 

[kibblesnbits]

he just told me he got a uconn offer. his dad played for the pats btw.

I remember his dad. He was a fair to middling sized cornerback. Mom must have had some big men in her family because that's a big kid.

 

[noeynox]

I remember his dad. He was a fair to middling sized cornerback. Mom must have had some big men in her family because that's a big kid.

Was Hurst Sr. the dude that got all crossed up by Barry Sanders in that classic clip that gets played all the time? Where Barry Sanders breaks off a long run and the DB turns the wrong way like three times as he is running downfield?

 

[BNich]

An offer has also been given to Alex Anzalone, OLB/SS from Wyomissing, PA

 

[FDNY99]

An offer has also been given to Alex Anzalone, OLB/SS from Wyomissing, PA

Anzalone is a player...6-3 220+ lb OLB

 

[BNich]

Anzalone is a player...6-3 220+ lb OLB

Looks like a sure wrap up tackler. Good size agility and quickness. I like what I saw from his 2011 highlights.

 

[ucjoet]

Question for Huskyfandan. You are unbelievable, were do you get all this info from ? Please keep it up, I love what you bring to this board.

 

[noeynox]

According to Rivals Hurst holds offers from UConn, BC, and Perdue with Duke, Maryland, Missouri, Ohio State, Penn State, and Southern University having intrest.

Did not see ur post as I was typing mine. Thanks.

 

[ucjoet]

Is this unusual in the amount of offers we have out, or is it that we never received this amount of info on recruits. I know RE kept things more secretive. Looks to me we are trying to get involved with and offer kids that have a higher profile.

 

[BlueWhiteKid]

Looks like the Brandon Bell offer is official. It's on his twitter. This link has an article and a highlight video.

[uconnflyer88]

Matt Barone from PA was offered by UConn today, perfect build for a guard (@mattbarone1):




also maybe we could pin this thread so we don't lose it and entitle it "2013 Recruiting Thread"

 

[THC]

That dude is a straight up beast.

 

[BNich]

Matt Barone from PA was offered by UConn today, perfect build for a guard (@mattbarone1):

Very well built, STRONG young man. Saw that he was offered on twitter a little earlier this evening. He is a beast. Straight up smashes dudes at the point of attack. Should be a great run blocker. Would make for a nice guard indeed.

 

[cryjeremiah]

Love, love, love seeing that nasty streak in a lineman. Tough, strong kid, looke like he could play either OG or DT. Don't know if he is quick enough for DT though. Either way, looks to have definite D1 level talent the way I see it.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Can he bring that NB with him?

Barone looks solid

 

[HuskyGooner124]

According to Rivals, today we offered both 2013 TE Cameron Stapleton and 2014 OL Jay Hayes. Both are from Poly Prep in Brooklyn.

Cameron's sophomore highlights. He also has vids on youtube from NUC events, same with Hayes.

 

[BNich]

so where are we with laray smith. we gonna close the deal on him? i hope so. he would prob be the earliest 4* player we have ever got if so.

I really hope so. Love what I saw in his highlight tapes. Bonfide playmaker. Good frame to pack on some muscle. He's up to 4 stars now?

 

[PolisHusky]

According to 247, I think he will be a high 3* on the other sites. I will take him any day no matter how many stars he has. I really like his abilities, he seemed to enjoy his visit so as long as we keep that feeling resonating with him, he could be ours. He wants a fast paced offense and I could see him really fitting well on the screen plays, reminds me a lot of a young Todman. He will only get better in our strength training program.

 

[Buffett10]

We just offered TE Cameron Stapleton from Brooklyn.
