I saw this earlier today - but nothing else so I was hesitant to post: Shaky Hudl on top of it (no full season):

Shoutout to the man with great features Dan Oak for committing to UCONN

Who knows...

I still have seen nothing else other than the post above.

He did make 2nd team Offense on the AP Class 7A All-State football teams (as did Ryan Crozier)

A kid with that size, strength and speed and he ends up at an Ivy league school? Really? Although his profile says he's a great student, guess he had similar goals to Linta.

Sorry, I guess he did not have an offer from Miami. Secondhand info that he has family from NJ and, well, it's Princeton.

Hey bro 247 has us offering RB Paul Moses out of Ohio. Didn't see that b4

They are the only one. We don't even have a contributor to 247. These sites are a mess. Rivals still has Keith Benjamin committed and totally ignores Britton. I hope this staff can build better relationships w/ these sites when they can.

So what is left? I would like to see a tall wideout, a DB or 2, and/or a DT (that stays inside on 3-4). I'd take a kicker, although we can afford to wait a year in light of Puyol being only a soph. I'm surprised we have not seen a recruit from the VA recruiting area surface. Looks like a lot of redshirts coming

CT - 4
NJ - 4
FL - 3
PA - 3
MA - 1
IL - 1

That's a good distribution for us. In most years, from a percentage standpoint, this is how it should probably be (sprinkle in some GA, OH, MD, and maybe a little higher in MA)...

24/7 is missing a few names. For the record, Rivals considers Britton a member of class of 13 (no prep in between).
 
hit send too fast ..

wanna really good laugh - check out our commits on 24/7 and ask yourself how in the heck are they showing Lawrence Wilson as an early enrollee (even though they indicate he enrolled in June 06)

HS Coach's quote within:

“@desmondconner: Timber Creek Coach On Recruit Bradford Not Signing With UConn Wednesday http://Post original url/LLLs4j”
Expand ...
Well, not the best way to start off with that coach, but hopefully he can see Diaco's side of it. We aren't really in a position to wait until year-end right now. We need to get as many solid recruits as we can in the house ASAP.

I don't think this can be put 100% on Coach Diaco. He has no hand in, "[digging Bradford] a hole during his first year and a half." The kid's not going to qualify on time, and while he may be on pace, there is no guarantee. Coach Diaco is has to fill out his first football team as best he can. He needs guarantees. I think it's a hard conversation to have, but I also think Coach Diaco knows enough to be tactful and not hurt any relationships with Timber Creek.
 
Relationships are a 2-way street and the TC HC is certainly indicating we may be up against it in near term. EVERYONE knew Bradford was an academic issue; it has been well talked about, even on this board. Waiting until the 12th hour (which we have done to 2 kids) can leave a bad taste with folks. I think HCBD will have some smoothing to do in the coming months with this particular coach (that is, if he wants access to the 4-5 D1 kids at TC their coach ever so subtly mentioned).

I disagree. I may be reading a bit into his carefully crafted public remarks, but the Timber Creek coach did not let Bradford off the hook for failing to stay qualified his first couple years. This is a better outcome than keeping the scholarship open and the kid never qualifying.

Related, are any walk-ons deserving of getting a free year of Public Ivy Education?
