2014 Recruiting Thread

[Dann]

So the tight end we jus got
- is only 6'3
- only got a temple offer

And yet all this time we spent in the south with our first 125 offers out and at stone mnt ga where we offered the whole team we had a kid looking to give a verbal somewhere and he verbals to gast over uconn and IST? Am I reading that right? He had a b12 and uconn offer and went to gast?

Either his grades were not up to par so he was going to partial qualify
Or
The commit we just took was the 2nd and last tight end slot in this class

Tell me why
A- we would not tell the kid who committed to wait a minute and check with this kid first
B- we don't play in the b10 we should be stacking our roster with partial kids. That's how u get the best of the rest aka what Lville did pre big east and what Boise does today.
C- we didn't have a better feel for the kids commit time considering we offered the whole stone mnt team. We should have a pulse down there.
D- all we have heard about is size and so far P has lived up to the we recruit size blah blah quotes. What happened with that now?

E - He was possibly recruited for another position??

>>"Coach Pasqualoni was watching me almost the whole time. He said I could either play defensive end or tight end and that I am definitely a D1 player. I really enjoyed working with Coach Foley and I am confident that I impressed him. They also had me try some linebacker. I was very impressed by the facilities and liked all the coaches." UConn actually offered Carrezola as either a tight end or defensive end, which provides them with some recruiting flexibility. <<

You had a BC fan straight out call you out and this is your first post in the thread since...? SMH

The kid wants to play tight end and made it clear that's his number 1 spot. But the staff is flexible with that de/te slot we all know and the kid seems very down to earth if he can't hack it one way then the other is it.

We are loaded at lb and have britton and Sylva for 2014 coming in. Only a stuf lb like strachan was going to be allowed in. This kid will not sniff lb until his jr or sr. Year at the earliest if they move him position wise. Bar more the Yale qb commit was more impressive as a lb in camps.

As for a bc guy calling me out. He's lost on here with what I post as real info and what's goofy ball crap and what's sarcastic. Me and 24 are on a different page sarcasm wise and so the last page looks weird. That's all. The guy basically stated a bunch of facts and then tried to puff chest by saying well face to face u would be a vs a big football player. He must be related to southtamapbill. Clown shoes.

BCS class has a very clear top half with the middle being quality all things considered up there the past years and what not. But the bottom of the class is filler. When you offer a local kid who couldn't get the local fcs offers and runs a bad 40 but because he has a family member working at bc that's filler. The Internet fans can spin it any way they want. Beltzer is filler. When you spend a couple years down as a program and lose your nj connections, spaz murdered them. You have to make some moves and regain them. Sweeney from Bosch is filler. That hs is a factory so every coach east of Hawaii has tabs on it. The kid had no offers. He's tommy Myers without the muscle, weight and skills. He's a project flyer. But he helps to quickly re establish bosco and bc as a nice pipe line. Filler. Schmal. Filler. And so on.

The dazzler has quickly proved that he can land really good prospects and do all the things that a program like bc should be doing. But he's a slick sob when it comes to this business. He's not going to blow his load in year 1 because he knows that this team he has on the field is going to be bad this fall. So make year 2 his best class. Year 1 show your for real and fill in a bit. Anything is a improvement. Get a couple locals with legacy and some big time kids and the energy and feeling is great. Year 2 show out on the trail and year 3 go balls to the wall with your recruits and get yourself a sec job. Not hard to scheme this all up. I remember sitting here in December while ppl here were laughing about this hire thinking how silly everyone is. I posted day 2 cents. I'm way mor e right then most of this board on him. Slowly this board is waking up thread by thread to what is going on. I just can't wait much longer because waking up every day and knowing my favorite team sucks makes me want to put a dam mets or Astros hat on or something.

I have not seen anything about him "making it clear that TE is his #1 spot" - he seemed open.

I think you missed the DE piece... the LB try-out mention was a throw-away.

Don't interrupt him on yet another of his tiresome mindless, factless, negative rants. I swear it's time for another break for me. This is place is unbearable with him injecting his nonsense into every thread.

Just visualize Bluto ranting about the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor and it's easier to take.

 

[BCINGYA]

The number of messages/posts you have on here versus the amount of time you have been a member (2 1/2) years or so speaks volumes. It says you have an opinion on EVERYTHING related to U Conn. That in itself is not a bad thing, but it does bring into question how valid/accurate/factual some of your information is. Sounds like you know a lot about most any topic. I trust the judgement of the coaching staff that ANYONE given a four year scholarship has earned it and has something to bring to the table with varying degrees of talent and potential.

After all Thousands of young men are recruited, and they ALL cant be rated as four and five star recruits. Doug Flutie was never recruited hard, people said he was to small/short to play big time college ball. Matt Ryan and Luke K. were three star recruits. Who would have known they would go onto the N.F.L. and be very successful. You will find some hidden gems from the ranks of these so called BACK FILLERS. Some guys fly under the radar, and at B.C. that happens often. The strict criteria needed to enroll at B.C. limits the profile of the recruits. Talk to me in four years after Bletzer and Sweeney have GRADUATED and see how things pan out. EVERY SCHOOL takes a chance on each recruit, some do well others not so great. But they will walk out with a degree and a great life experience and yes sometimes even move on to the N.F.L.

Your STAR STRUCK (STUCK) omg the kid had little interest, omg the kid has two stars, blah.. blah. You cant see beyond the stats, numbers, figures. BACK FILLERS don't exist period. Glad you know so much about the mindset and thoughts of Sweeney, and Bletzer and why and how they ended up at B.C. The Figaro rant has to take the cake though...I mean wow, did you really, seriously suggest there was a conspiracy formed between B.C. coaches and Figaro to smear U Conn....really? You should remain focused on whats going on with your own recruitment in Storrs, and less on how much you supposedly know about B.C.'s current verbals. Sorry but I can only give you ONE STAR out of FIVE, but hey you have a lot of potential, and btw I would never label you as BACK FILLER.

He has told every site and person reporting on him he is a tight end. The te/de position we all know this staff looks for the same type of player. That's just another rotation. The staff must like him as a athlete. The kid wants to pla tight end. He's short. Especially compared to Fuchs and Myers. When he doesn't get time he can move to de and his height is fine for that. The staff clearly sees this in due time. Sell the kids now and let them adapt.


Here comes jimmy s to the rescue.....

POST #527 was meant for you Husky Dan

Yea u really got me. I'm star struck. What position will bletzer play on don browns defense? I would love to know that answer. Fullback? I hope he gets 3 stars just like flutie did. They are no offer family hook ups for this class and you pay for play sites are just jumping on the fanbase has life again bandwagon to see how many customers they can add this year. It's clearly working. Have u bought in yet?

Dude... learn how to post on a message board. You screwed it up again. Go back to a BCU board for remedial education and come back when you get it .

Yea really. And when you figure it out, go c k yourself.

 

[BCINGYA]

Who knows where he will be placed, I don't pretend to know either, unlike you who seems to have it all figured out no matter the subject. LOL ya he was taken solely as a Flutie, not with standing of his on field accomplishments at Natick so far. Family tradition is a great thing and your bound to have several generations attend the same school its called a legacy and Doug paved the way. The kid earned a spot on his own merit, and any suggestion otherwise was addressed by the Dazzler. You just cant help yourself from taking shots at these young men can you, rather sad and pathetic.

Have been here through thick and thin just like most B.C. supporters. Like all schools, including yours, you have your fringe elements that hop on and off the ole wagon. Thats the nature of the beast. Attracting new eyes and holding onto your core supporters, and generating revenue very key. Whatever it takes, call it what you will, however it gets done, its the modern day reality of college ball.

Buddy BC can't draw 30k for FSU. Please.

 

[BCINGYA]

Buddy BC can't draw 30k for FSU. Please.

41,531 avg per home game vs FSU cap 44, 500 ya def room for improvement sell outs are hard to come by these days as im sure you know

 

[BCINGYA]

Yea really. And when you figure it out, go c k yourself.

When all else fails resort to BOMB I guess........classy

Wow not one personal slam uttered about U Conn and its turning into a feeding frenzy ...... lol oh wait I think thats me! told someone earlier I have been there through thick and thin....nice try

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

41,531 avg per home game vs FSU cap 44, 500 ya def room for improvement sell outs are hard to come by these days as im sure you know

Yeah....I don't care what the box score says the official attendance was. I was at the FSU game in 2011. Announced attendance was 38k. There is no chance there was 30k there.

But hey, we claimed 37k last year for Temple.

Neither happened.

 

[Husky25]

How does one utter a personal slam against an institution? Corporations are people, my friend, not colleges. They file completely different forms with the IRS. At any rate, this is close enough.

Your a hoot......back to back 5-7 seasons and your current coach P.P. is a mirror image of the Spaz. You should be asking when is YOUR next 500 season going to be. The way things are looking now your in for a long tough road. We hit rock bottom last year and we own it. Yours is still to come. Twelve consecutive winning seasons and bowl appearances, including two A.C.C Atlantic Division titles and championship game appearances. Then came Spaz and a steady decline in wins and recruits, 8-5, 7-6, 4-8, 2-10. When you hit bottom B.C. will be back to winning. You see it happens to the best of them. Karma is a b*tch.

fanDan might be a know-it-all blow hard, but he's our know-it-all blow hard. And quite frankly he does know something about recruiting other than the Rivals/Scouts rating systems.

 

[BCINGYA]

Lets see.....had BOMB dropped on me, told I was stupid (dumb) and I should go back to a B.C.U. board so I could learn to navigate this site, even though you just put a U in front of the B.C. .....and was shown a pic of a guy, during winter break, on a cold winter afternoon, with a team that has a losing record, in the closing minutes of yet another loss....yes I am wrecked by all of this. You obviously hold onto this pic dearly knowing full well its a misrepresentation of the worst kind, but if it helps you sleep at night knock yourself out. We can all find pics like that. Three very childish reactions, but I know in my heart there are more grown up classy U Conn fan reps out there.

You said, "personal slam against U Conn[sic]." I merely pointed out that unlike a corporation, Institutions of higher learning are not people. AND, I never directed anything personal towards you, just your fan base as a whole, being so tried and true, supporting the team through thick and thin (BTW, BC was only 12-14 when that photo was taken.). I just searched "Boston College student section" and that photo came up 3 times and near the top of Yahoo images. Making the same search and replacing "Boston College" with "UConn" reveals one phone of a poorly attended game, but was a sell out as compared to that of BC. I even added "Football." to the search (as our student section is notorious for leaving early) and still did not come up with a single photo approaching that from Boston College.

There is no need to justify or spin the photo, unless it was Photoshopped, which it wasn't. The fact that it exists is damning enough on your insinuation that Boston College has leagues of supporters through thick and thin. This is not exactly a gross misrepresentation either. I have a close relative who was connected with the Men's Basketball team during the Scooney Penn, Mickey Curley, Keenan Jourdan days. That team won the 1997 Big East Tournament, before Fr. Leahy ran Jim O'Brien out of town. I went to my fair share of BC Basketball games through my relative's ticket allotment and Conte was rarely sold out, even in those days.

It took NewarkNicky a couple weeks of posting but he/she soon after realized that this is a UConn Message board. You can't expect to come here and interrupt the conversation or profess superiority in any way and not expect a little push back. It doesn't work that way.

 

[BCINGYA]

Obviously what you say is the official count, what am I thinking. Ignore the official box score, ignore the announced attd, its def a conspiracy by B.C. to inflate numbers. Wow the deeper i dig the more scary this becomes. B.C has never had 40,000 for a home game vs FSU, and the avg is not 41,530 because you say it is not so. Or wish it not to be in this case. Check your facts.

Examples of superiority? List them......interrupt conversation? between whom? forgive me for engaging on a site that is about expressing opinions. I do not see anything stating this blog is ONLY for U Conn followers. A lil healthy POLITE debate is good for all of us. It gets old when you see U Conn followers talking trash and running their mouths all over the net about B.C. A little push back? Foul mouths and childish behavior does nothing to promote your schools image in a positive light. Im not Nicky whatever and IM FULLY AWARE ITS A U Conn board, and Im not going to be intimidated or pressured into not posting opinions here. I know exactly how this all works, but thanks for the heads up.

[huskymedic]

You really did not just go there with the education card did you....lol...really?

Nope - just your ability to figure out how to quote someone and post a reply in a message board. But it seems you figured it out after a few tries - your Star level just went up.

 

[woomba]

So the tight end we jus got
- is only 6'3
- only got a temple offer

And yet all this time we spent in the south with our first 125 offers out and at stone mnt ga where we offered the whole team we had a kid looking to give a verbal somewhere and he verbals to gast over uconn and IST? Am I reading that right? He had a b12 and uconn offer and went to gast?

Either his grades were not up to par so he was going to partial qualify
Or
The commit we just took was the 2nd and last tight end slot in this class

Tell me why
A- we would not tell the kid who committed to wait a minute and check with this kid first
B- we don't play in the b10 we should be stacking our roster with partial kids. That's how u get the best of the rest aka what Lville did pre big east and what Boise does today.
C- we didn't have a better feel for the kids commit time considering we offered the whole stone mnt team. We should have a pulse down there.
D- all we have heard about is size and so far P has lived up to the we recruit size blah blah quotes. What happened with that now?

There's no such thing as a partial qualifier anymore - they got rid of it back in 2005.

Certain conferences and individual schools keep a higher standard than the NCAA minimum so the marginal kids still tend to end up in certain programs more so than others but everyone meets the minimum.

UConn probably should be going the JUCO route in my opinion - not as many schools accept JUCO transfers so you can probably get better athletes on average.

Oh, maybe you should preach to YOUR committed recruits about the proper name of your school (and I put the "U" after the BC, not before - just like Mr. Knoll)
