-rumor on the street: isaacs will be with all the recruits and commits visiting this weekend....u didn't hear that rumor here
-j beckford is now at ruty for a visit this weekend
-hurst at tosu spring game this weekend
According to Isaacs' twitter he is at Maryland today. Are you sure he's going to the UConn spring game?
u got me
Ogun just landed a gators offer. WOW
dave coggins(local kid) was at the game btw
David Coggins, 6'1, 180, WR (Sacred Heart, Waterbury) had an incredible sophomore season in 2010, catching 78 passes for 1417 yards, 9 TDs. After running a 4.5 at the BC camp during the summer of 2011, he received a BC offer. He suffered a broken ankle in a preseason game causing him to miss his entire junior season.
does his bc offer still stand?
of our first 75ish offers out, 21 guys commited to schools. we landed two of them.
i expect to see some offers the next month or so but not many, i think by mid august we will have 100ish out. i'm thinking 125-150 offers this year total.
I don't see that offer any better than OSU, Stanford or Alabama. I mean Bama has won two national championships in the three years.
I still think UConn has a good change even with all the big offers. It is time for UConn to win one of these battles.
that offer and tosu are extremely impressive becuase those 2 schools are among the best at producing DE's in the league. urban knows his DE's.....
i saw that j beckford got a top 5 rb award/notice for the camp this weekend. any one else know of stuff from that camp?
Noel Thomas was at the Pittsburgh 7/7....here is what Bob Lichtenfels had to say:
"Western
Massachusetts was knocked out early on Sunday, but New Canaan (Conn.) St. Luke's wide receiver/defensive back
Noel Thomas was a force. On a team without a bunch of D-I talent, Thomas was a force. The
Connecticut commit should be an impressive college football player."
love that!
word on the street is that ebenezer ogundeko can graduate early, so that is why he is getting so many offers from schools along with the fact thats he a stud that ppl just didn't know about until recently. this weekend btw he won the dl mvp at the nj camp...
The UConn staff seems to think they're in very good shape with Ogundeko.
interesting considering the news from him this past weekend. this is what i had in mind when PP was hired, being right in the thick of the race for big time kids. its happening and sooner than later were going to land them.
calling hurst to tosu sometime soon.
i could be 2 for 2 on MA kids if i'm right
but its all good, bc is in good shape with him...
oh also, we should offer devon wilson, same hs as barone. big wr with a offer from ncst already. not sure how many wr's we need this class becuase we loaded up this winter, but i'm sure he has to be getting looks from us.
-we offered garrett dickerson from berg cath in nj. also has a offer from northwestern.
-stokes said recently that us, wvu and nw were recruiting him the hardest lately.
There was an article on Scout.com that I found interesting in regards to Boeing Brown, here are some quotes:
"Last week, Brookfield (CT) quarterback Boeing Brown traveled to Florida, his home state, to check out some college campuses. As a native of Florida, Brown grew up a fan of the Gators and the Knights. "
"Florida is traditionally a high performance offense with a high-powered defense and I am excited to see the future and learn more. No matter what, as a Florida native, I will always like the Gators,” Brown said"
.....So should he techincally be part of the "CT Prospects" sheet?
he lives in ct and plays at brookfield. maybe you are being sarcastic? he was born in fl and his family moved up here when he was little. his dad played at ucf.....goodluck to the kid. i think one of the qbs we have already offered we are in good shape with.
Dan, who is Stokes? I don't see a Stokes on Rivals or 247. Full names would help those of us who don't follow recruiting in great depth.
to be honest, i'm trying to figure it out also. i saw it on twitter and responded and didn't get a answer back. was hoping some 1 here knew by chance. i just like seeing uconns name being thrown around lol.
edit- got a name. landon stokes from FL. added to the list on the first page....
todays news:
-laray smith got a offer from indiana. now has that + uconn, cuse, wm, buff
-rb corey clement got a uconn offer
-st joes - montvalle nj wr ricky jeune got a uconn offer
-jaryd jones smith of west catholic will be going to a uconn camp this summer
-john appice visited recently and perkins is visiting him at school soon. he will also camp this summer at uconn. per rivals.
Rivals has Dickerson as a '14 recruit... Is this thread now a mixture of '13 and '14 recruits?
nope. my bad. i will put him in the 2014 thread.
nick saban visited ogundeko at his hs. spent a hour with him. purdue also visited. he is visiting tosu soon.
no sarcasim
Shouldn't "in-state" kids be kids that are born and raised....I mean I can grow up in CA and then do prep school for a year in NY....doesn't tie any allegiance to Syracuse
for ct and new england prospects i just put everyone that currently plays football in those states in the thread. like the kid that commited to uva is in the thread but i wrote that he lives in MD when i found out. not sure the beef here. boeing lives in ct and plays for a public school in ct....i'm going to keep it as is just to track kids. i don't think a kid that lives in ct, has family with season tix at the rent and plays at his local public school(brookfield) should be a fl prospect...am i missing something here?
i was told that graduating early for EO wasn't ment as next jan enrolling somewhere but as in will be on campus at a college this fall. anyone confirm this or have better info?
-coggins still does have a BC offer.
-agustus edwards was timed at a 4.58 40 recently
-local kid(torrington) rb joan toribio ran a 4.57 40
weekend notes:
-ousmane camara has a purdue offer as we know and has stated they are at the top of his list. its hard to guage tho how serious he is about that cause they are his only offer thats public. he has visited uconn cuse and ruty recently and duke has also gotten in contact. wholley is the guy recruiting him for us. anyway, on twitter he said he would be commiting to a school on august 15th. wonder if we will get in on him or not...
-we have offered tommy hopkins! local kid i have spoke about before. as of right now hes only reporting a offer from bucknell as well.

Scout just ran an article saying that RB Augustus Edwards and Ogundeko are going to be a package deal and pick the same school....
Even then, the pair admits that the discussion often begins with the schools closest by, particularly SU and UConn.
“It always begins with those two schools, because both of those schools are basically fighting for me and him,” said Oguneko. “They know if they get one of us, they’re going to get the other.”
COME ON P.....GET IT DONE!!!
wow thats interesting. didn't ogundeko and smith leave jr day saying both were uconn leans. this seems like a 2rb class becuase last year was supose to be but wasn't. i dream of a haul of laray, gus and ogun.
