2014 Recruiting Thread

[pj]

I would love to get Cooper too. There's no defense for elite speed.

 

[huskymedic]

He did even better today-ran a 6.42 to win the 55m dash at the New England championships

Currently 8th fastest in the USA.

TOS has an article up about Lincoln Prep WR Jamiek Davis (seen him listed as 6-3 185, 6-3 190 and 6-4 205).

"Recruiting is good," said Davis. "I'm getting attention from UConn, Penn State, Rutgers, Syracuse, Missouri, N.C. State, Temple, Boston College and Tennessee. Hopefully after I take my SAT's and qualify, I can pull my first offer from UConn or Syracuse."

Impression after Junior Day - "It went great," said Davis. "I loved the school's facilities, campus, food and learning about their academic opportunities. I'm looking to major in communications and minor in performing arts and media."

Recruiter is Coach Wholley

Like the way he catches the ball with his hands away from his body...

247_Big_East Big East Conference
@CNee247: #UConn has offered Winter Garden (Fla.) West Orange 3-star WR Garrett Johnson

5-9 160 lb out of Winter Garden Florida (West Orange HS)

Other offers from Arizona, BCU, GT, KY, Marshall, USF and Northwestern

Johnson caught 58 passes for 1014 yards and 11 touchdowns his sophomore year and added 49 receptions for 685 yards and seven scores his junior year. He also rushed 21 times for 194 yards and two scores. Johnson's production numbers may have gone down because he played both wide receiver and corner for the Warriors in 2012.

Johnson was clocked at 4.7 in the 40 at the UnderArmour Underclassmen combine held in St. Petersburg, Fla. He plays for the 'Top Recruits' team from Orlando in the 7-on-7 competition.

"Adams runs a hand-held 40-time of 4.37 and emerged as an essential part of the Eagles' defense which helped the program win the Class 5A Division I state title in December, the second in school history. Speed is the absolute difference maker. Adams collected 98 tackles last year along with two interceptions and nine pass breakups. That followed the 76 stops and three picks he had in 2011. There's no question that his value on a defense is there."

Absolute stud. People have this kid way way to low in New England. Still haven't seen all the top backs, but of the ones I have seen, Cooper is the best back. That speed is legitimate, his cutting ability is top notch, and his vision is ridiculous. Get this kid to Storrs ASAP!

 

[uconndogs]

Kid is either really fast or the competition really slow. My goodness............

Really fast:

"Harold Cooper, Hillhouse track: Junior won the 55-meter dash in 6.42 seconds at the New England championship meet. His time is currently the eighth fastest in the nation."

He is really fast. One of the fastest football prospects in the nation.

It would seem to me that in the 2014 class we will need to bring in a Punter, as Cole Wagner and his backup Chad Christen will both be 5th year seniors in 2013. Not sure if walk-on Justin Wain is the real thing or not, if he is then maybe they don’t have to bring in a Punter... Any thoughts on this anyone??

 

[uconnbill]

Have heard Cooper might want to get out of the area even if UConn offers. I hope he reconsiders if offered as he brings speed which every team needs.

Raulerson enjoys his visit: Offensive tackle Ray Raulerson of Tampa (Fla.) Plant received his offer from UConn... Post original url/ZUpFKN

>>"It went really well," said Raulerson, who is 6-foot-5, 270 pounds. "The facilities were as good as they get, and it had a cool campus too."Being from Florida, building a relationship between the player and coaching staff is an important element in Raulerson's recruiting process. "I head great interaction with the staff," he said. "I was with Coach Perkins mainly and he showed us around campus, the dorms and the business school, which I would like to major in. Then after meeting most of the coaches, I sat down and talked for about 30 minutes with Coach Pasqualoni. We talked about everything that I saw and overall how I liked the university." Raulerson was pleased with the time he spent on campus."I felt like I got a good feel for UConn after we stayed for most of the day and watched a practice," he said.<<
