Sweet. Were all set at tb for this class. Welcome Bryce.

Surprising. After Newsome committed, I figured that would be it for our RB commitments. I feel like this takes a scholly away from other positions we have a larger need for. Perhaps they're recruiting him as an athlete?

I think we were due for a class with two true tailbacks, non fullback. These two are different type runners which I think is good to have also.

No way..Newsome's considered moreso APB... he's a smaller back.. we needed a bigger back too.. we got him in McAllister...

This belongs on the football board.

McAllister can also play safety. So he may not be a RB recruit.

Other offers from Holy Cross, Fordham, Lafayette, Bryant, Albany, Monmouth and New Hampshire.

Army was chasing him pretty hard. McAllister's dad is former Army.

UConn gets commit from Suffield Academy RB
http://snyuconn.com/uconn/football/uconn-gets-commit-from-suffield-academy-rb/

>>He’s pretty dynamic,” Suffield Academy coach Drew Gamere said. “He’s explosive and versatile and has outstanding hands and can really do it all. He was New England Player of Year and had 28 touchdowns. He put up some good numbers for us.”

McAllister had a host of offers from FCS schools and also was receiving interest entering his senior year from high level FBS programs. McAllister is also an excellent student and was considering going to the Ivy League. In the end, the combination of academics and high-level football are what convinced McAlister to come to UConn according to Gamere.<<

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Brice!!!

5 recruits, 5 adds to O.

As the principal of the school from the movie The Incredibles said, "Coincidence? I think not!"

Welcome! Any chance you can bring your TE, #42 with you? Kid's a beast in that video! Name is Christian Wilkins and he's got a serious offer list as a DE, UConn included.

Love this kind of talk...

>>There is a small group of players who are elite football players in Connecticut and McAllister and Newsome played on the same 7-on-7 team and know each other well. When McAllister, 5-11 190-pounds, thinks of he and Newsome at UConn he doesn’t think about competition, he thinks about production.

“I know Arkeel,” McAllister said Monday night. “We played on the 7-on-7 teams. I feel we can be one of the best running back duos in the nation. I feel comfortable about UConn and what they to offer.”<<

It's a great quote. But as he didn't turn down any more prestigious offers to take ours, it's sort of meaningless, isn't it?

Truth be told BL, everything is meaningless until he's actually in school and starting in the backfield...

I'm not sure what confidence has to do with more prestigious offers.

Agree with that. I'm not one who worries a lot what anyone -- coaches are players -- say at press conferences.

If you are not being sarcastic, if I give you the cell numbers for my wife and kids would you tell them that please? If you are being sarcastic -- do we know what is for dinner tonight dear?

Ha!. With a comment like that, I'm making the assumption that you looked at his recruiting website profile and saw that Harvard and Columbia wanted him, but Yale didn't have him recruited. Had Yale been interested? Methinks you don't make that comment. "sticking my tongue out" THHPPTHHH!!

 

[husky91]

Besides his offer from UConn, McAllister was also offered by Army, New Hampshire, Albany, Fordham, Lafayette, Holy Cross, Monmouth, Bryant, Columbia and Harvard.

Big time win here, good work PP
