Scout has a story on Ousmane Camara camping at UConn: http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=7...RL=http://recruiting.scout.com/2/1196219.html
Seems every school sees him at a different position, and the UConn coaches tried him at a new position.
Hope we get him.

What about Tevin Montgomery / DT? They wanted another DT last year so I'm sure they want several this year.
Very curious who they're targeting for the defense / secondary. Seems like they're waiting for the offensive positions to shake out before top athletes become available for defense. We could use a few cornerbacks.

DT Folorunso Fatukasi liked his experience at UConn camp: http://connecticut.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1377968
Sounds like we would be the leader if we offer.

That tells me a few things. It's either:
- They need to see his transcripts and work out the academic side of things.
or
- They want to see if he's improved at all this fall.
or
- They are still very much in the mix for a couple of DT's higher on the board.

We know the first is the case -- seeing the transcripts has to happen before any offer. I hope the third is the case. The second - they've said they want to finish June camps and evaluation before sending out offers. I think we'll see some offers go out as early as next week. I think they would trust their own camp experience more than his high school season.

McDonaldis a 50/50 tossup at this point. UNC or UVA I'd be shock, excited, but shocked if picked BC. If Montgomery chooses soon it will be BC. He was on campus again this week.

Rivals recently put up their article about the Rutgers 7 0n 7 last weekend. http://connecticut.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1379443
It sounds like Bradley played well: The biggest weapons on this day for Sills were wide receivers Dhameer Bradley and Freddy Canteen. Bradley, who recently committed to Connecticut, is an explosive slot receiver who has great hands, an impressive burst and quick feet.
Also, it seems like Conner Buck of New Canaan played pretty well. He's a sophomore.
Another big physical player who made a great early impression was linebacker Conner Buck of New Canaan, Conn. Buck manhandled a number of receivers during the preliminary rounds, and physically he looks as though he should be packing to head to college right now. Stamina seemed to be an issue, but overall he definitely has some impressive tools to work with.

Rutgers still hasn't gotten a top 10 NJ player, but even so they are doing pretty well considering Schiano's departure and hiring a coach on the cheap.
I know it's only one recruit, but if Ogundeko had not decommitted, I wonder if things would be different? When kids check out who else has committed, scrolling way down to the bottom to find UConn has to have an effect.

Are you serious?
UConn landed practically half of their class last year in a two week period, and those guys were all lesser rated than the recruits this year.

UConn received a visit from Myles Willis recently (3* athlete, sounds like we're looking at him for offense). He's been a UCF committ since March, and he's also visiting BC and UVA on his road trip. Seems like he really enjoyed his visit.

What happened to Rutgers so far is a direct result of Schiano's departure. I can't believe that his celeb persona couldn't have made a difference with kids like Corey Clement and Buddy Brown (who just committed to Temple). What this current staff did do is build this major attachment with the Timber Creek kids (they got Myles Nash this week) and I have spoken to a few in state studs who felt slighted at their Junior Days and other events while kids like Drennon and Nash and other members of their TC team are being pranced around like they are above the rest. Huge mistake by the Rutgers staff!

No question about it. In Jersey the one thing I can tell you is that the kids feel a sense of trust from Coach Sos. He is doing a tremendous job of forming relationships that the kids actually believe. I heard from a parent who took his son to a Rutgers event that a few of the coaches and the recruiting coordinator made them feel like they were "buying a car". If I heard that once, that's one thing. (not the case). Not sure what happened with williamstown's Brown. Georgia Tech and UConn had the early angle on him. temple came out of nowhere. Addazio is the new threat! Remember I told you that. Just not sure how long he will stay, but the kids love him and his staff. The new facilities are on the way as well.

i would like to see us land 2 of these 4 soon.
zeff-think we have the lead over ruty on him, not sure about other offers he likes though
montgomery- were in it, but i'm not sure how much he likes uva/vandy
miller- were even with the other 2 right now, we can get over the hump with some effort from the staff
rodgers- past week i have seen enough social media to say he is enjoying some other schools fanbases more than ours. we were in it and may still be but my thoughts are a bit more long shot now than ever.
i really wish i new what the staffs chart for this class looks like. i'm having a hard time with certain positions trying to figure out the approach.
-wr is really confusing the heck out of me. we have noel, bradley and neally for this 13 class. i'm very happy with those recruits. we seem to be offering more wr's still so it leads me to believe that we are either looking for 4 or that the staff has doubts neally can spend only 1 year in juco. either way we are still hunting at that position which leads me to this. 2 local prospects belfort and coggins have other bcs offers but can't get one from us. wtf i want both of those kids lol.
-te i think that this is a 2 te class and have been saying it for a while. we got myers and now we are still offering others. wish we landed oniel but we have others in play. the kid from ohio is down to us and bc. there is a kid from florida down to us and duke/minn. we are stapeltons only offer right now(surprising a bit) and we are keeping close watch on joyner(we could be looking at him as a OT convert in the future). i honestly think we may be taking 2 and maybe a 3rd te this class. 1 of them will move to another position in time i would guess.
-defense? can we get one verbal on d?
-rb, seems like we want 1 and we really put alot of eggs in on the nyc kids. hope we land laray.
u are correct, my bad on that.
might as well add to my recruiting rant
-we should offer john van allen. i think he has a good relationship with sos and he would be a good get for us to break the ice on d. same with ousmane camara.
-after losing barone, we need 1 or 2 OG's for this class. were in on a couple guys but i think we should take a 2nd look at michael senn from long island also.
-we need a lb or 2, we should also offer alwan from nj.
I heard we pulled our offer to ogundecko because this kid is a lock to be a husky. Take that nd cuse fl etc. bawhahahahah ftw!
Im tryin to find a name.... We went after that kid from germany last year that prep schooled in ct. He went to fsu and is playin i think
van allen picked harvard over bc, umass, duke, md, temple, yale....uconn did not offer
good get for them. with usf and now ucf, it will be a little harder for us to land kids in fl because they will have to on par options at home.
Coggins to bc. In the end we didnt offer...
i wanted coggins because hes a good ct kid. but thats not enough for the staff to offer him.
-pre injury he ran 4.5's
-post hes running 4.7's
-we have noel, bradley and neally as wr commits already
-it seems to me were willing to take 3 this year or 4 if a good one also commits like belfort for example.
-there are qualifying issues possibly also
good luck to dave coggins. if something happens where we need 1 more wr in this class late this fall i hope we look at him again. he wanted to be a husky but things just didn't work out. bc has like 10 commits. 6 of them are from an area of the country that has no clue how bad bc really is or whats really going on with spaz/gene etc. all those kids just see a bc(acc) offer as alot better than there mac offers so far. while i understand coggins, it just blows my mind that others in ct have bought into that ship wreck. we will see in time....
kingsley opara- @future40million
hit him up guys, tell him about our great facilities, about how we love new england kids staying home(mass kid) and how he should take a visit here to see our beautiful campus and other stuff....
he is down to uconn, wake, wvu and md. he just went to md and had a good time it looks like. wvu is rumored to be the favorite but lets put some effort in as a fan base here and see what happens. he will be making his pick for a school soon but is open to taking 1 more visit before. lets make that visit uconn!
^he is going to make his pick on the 20th....
whats up with aaron batten anyone?
here comes another 1.
yup unreal^
anyway z williams to wvu. this is great news. another piece to the puzzle will fall 2moro(non uconn piece) and then we will have good shots a laray, the kid from fl and a couple others.
anyone know if in this new round of offers we offered noah robinson?
shortridge to wake
dezmond wortham- @dez_wortham. show him some love. we have offered and he is buddies with lagow. he is also buddies with ranthony who i was talking with last night. lagow is doing WORK for us with clayton down there. i can feel the momentum building. hit up dez and ranthony! both are on my twitter page.
anyone else following the thompson stuff? i wonder if we see him as a te or de? bc saw him as a de i guess and with 2 already in the class they didn't have room for him today. interesting as we are his only other bcs offer.
kyle schafenacker has on rivals that hes down to cincy, uconn and marshall. he also have some good other offers like smu and south cary. i just tweeted him, join in and lets win this one.
