2013 Recruiting Thread

[BNich]

Hope someone can fill me in here.

Where do we stand with Laray Smith?

And I saw John Van Allen committed to Harvard, any reason why UConn never offered him?

 

[pj]

Laray will likely wait until the end of the season to see where he stands with dream schools like Oregon and decide between Syracuse, UConn, and others. If he sticks with the idea of doing both track and football then we have a chance. If he does track only, Oregon would win.

Thank you sir! Interesting why a kid with his talent would ever want to just stick to track. Or if he received a track scholarship from Oregon try to work his way on the football team and do both that way. Who knows. I just hope he comes to UConn.

Way to go HfD... Appreciate you bro... efforts are superb.. What 10 kids do you think are worthy of offers? Also, who's the JUCO with last name Flood?

 

[ktuck911]

Flood is a qb at a hs in fl. Not juco. My bad. Hell of a ath, db i thonk at the next level. Under radar.

Camara
Robinson
Shane nash
Joyner
Coggins
Wr from montour pa forget name
Cooper
Beckford
Graham
Wilson

Thanks for the list bro.. could the Montour PA WR u mention be Devin Wilson? Seems to be a little like Fuchs... Getting recruited for both hoops and football

 

[ktuck911]

Joyner is 6'5, 248 lbs. and he can block & catch. He definitely has more receptions than Hinojos & he's right in the state--Cheshire.

Don't understand why we have yet to offer this kid... or maybe we have and their not saying?

 

[ktuck911]

Another kid I wonder about is that RB at Choate named Jerickson Fredrick.. He was POY in New Hampshire the previous year...

I've been saying this for months. I search daily for that offer and I can tell you that they have not offered him---baffling!!!

It would be a MAJOR coup if got Combs at DT.. Would be a huge help up front for us IMO... We're kinda young after this season up front on D and will need a stud DT to help solidify our front 4...
As for OL - good to see offered Odogwu.. Can't teach that kind of size.. besides, doesn't seem like the JUCO giant Finnin ( 6'8 330lbs ) doesn't seem too interested in us...

“@TH3BlAcKmAmbA24: Just got offered a scholorship from UCONN #huskies #bigeast #blessed”

So we had a Jerome Junior, we have a Jesse Joseph, now we're in the running for a Junior Joseph?

RB Jeremiah Sams from Lake Mary Prep in Florida is getting looked at now by UCONN. He shares the offensive backfield with Ray Lewis III who will follow his dad's footsteps and head to the U. Jeremiah though is the big back (5'11 202lbs) and putting up big numbers.

http://articles.orlandosentinel.com...9_1_ray-lewis-iii-kelvin-taylor-derrick-henry

Friday’s game puts Sams at 1,454 yards, the 2nd-best total in the state this season, behind only Yulee’s Derrick Henry (1,954) and just ahead of Glades Day’s Kelvin Taylor (1,303). That’s right, the Alabama commit Henry and the Florida commit Taylor.

Good company!

He has an offer from Memphis but I'm sure a lot of schools are looking at him.

He should be a priority recruit for us. No disrespect to either the current players we have or the ones already verbally committed. Recruiting never stops. Gotta get him.

Rodney Whitehead got an offer from UConn He was a dual threat quarterback in high school and kinda small but they are recruiting him as a special teams player/offensive player Has offers from Old Dominion, UNC Charlotte, and Florida Atlantic

 

[pj]

Whitehead graduated high school with no offers in 2011 and is playing WR and kick returner at Dean College now. Through 8 games he's caught 24 passes for 242 yards and 3 TD and rushed 8 times for 48 yards. He has 27 kick or punt returns for 735 return yards -- 27 yards per return. A Nick Williams replacement?
