2014 Recruiting Thread

Too bad about Britton. I really liked him. Thought we were getting a steal.

 

[pj]

I really liked Britton and Branford two. Wish one of them could have taken Lagow's scholarship.

#UConn football commit Alec Bloom scores pair of TDs in season opener Post original url/15IrVb4

Impressive opener for UConn recruit

UConn commit Alec Bloom began his senior season in style as he had a 49-yard scoring run and 40-yard touchdown reception in Ligonier Valley's 35-0 win over Purchase Line last night.

Bloom ran seven times for 57 yards and had 70 yards on four receptions.

Also, fellow UConn commit Luke Carrezola had a sack as Neshaminy opened the 2013 season with a 33-0 win over Northeast.

Ervin Phillips, rated 87 3 *, commits to Syracuse.

Watch him become a star somewhere other than Uconn.

He still talking UCONN on twitter "Britton that is". Not sure that ship sailed at all.

Yup - just kinda weird he's not playing ball anywhere this year that anyone is aware of (prep, JUCO, D2/D3).

Here's hoping he's at least prepping and getting the academics in order.. then ends up in Storrs.. He can always redshirt a year and be ready to ball in '15

Awesome. Now we just need a center and OT Brock Ruble to commit. Brock, come here and have a chance to be a four year starter. Starting for four years is the best way to get your name called on draft day. With Tim Boyle and Newsome & McAllister- the offense has no place to go but up when you arrive.

football is won and lost on the lines - build a great line and you'll see results

>>Former UConn signee Rennick Bryan is no longer considering a return to UConn.<<

>>Bryan played at Dean during the 2012 season but did not return to Dean. Bryan said he is currently enrolled at Gateway Community College and taking the classes so he can get the 25 credits needed to enroll at a four-year school. Bryan said he is considering going to either New Haven or Southern Connecticut State. When I asked him if that means UConn is no longer in the picture he said "that's a done deal."<<

I guess they want 4-year players rather than 2-year players. Or better academic players. I wonder if this is Warde's influence?

... or just a player that commits even a little bit towards academics in exchange for a scholarship?

Shame - wasted talent.

Man I love UConn

 

[huskymedic]

Back from April - had UConn as well as BC offer (as well as Mich State and Cuse)

Got it thx.. missed it earlier.

BC is pressing him hard for an answer.

From a BC site: >>Everett athlete Lubern Figaro has visited Boston College twice in just about the last week and the Eagles are pushing for a commitment.When asked whether Steve Addazio and his staff are pushing hard for him to make a decision, Figaro simply responded, "Yeah." "I'm just waiting it out before I make my commitment," Figaro added. "I have a very high interest [in Boston College]. I'm just making sure there aren't any other schools that come in."<<

Wouldn't get your hopes up on Figaro....

You can have him... Proverbial red flag: "I'm just making sure there aren't any other schools that come in."

Haha yea never like to see that but to me I'd rather the kid wait then commit and say that. He's at least doing things the right way.

Kid seemed to want the B1G for a while if you read the articles on him. Good,for him on going where he wanted.

Agreed - UConn never made his Top 5 but i never forgot the name after the friendly back and forth with BCEagles24 in the spring.

Well, BCeagles24 was right that we shouldn't get our hopes up over him.
