Really fast:

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??

UConnReport 9:45am via twitterfeed
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.<<

I'm just saying there's a very good chance if he picks a school in the NE it's going to be BC. It also helps his HC will be feeding him very good things about BC all the time.

Plant's head coach, Robert Weiner, is a BC grad, but he briefly joined the USF staff as WR coach this winter before returning to Plant (http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/story/...ants-robert-weiner-to-join-usf-coaching-staff, http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/story/...everse-weiner-turns-down-usf-staying-at-plant). Wonder what that was about.

Weird situation there I know USF fans were very happy about it then all of a sudden he changed his mind. I'm sure most that follow recruiting know Plant is one of the best schools in FL so USF landing Weiner would have been huge. Good for BC anyway that he stayed at Plant. There was a lot of movement with the Florida schools trying to take some of the HCs from top HS programs.

I know what you're saying. Surely you are not so dim that you fail to realize that posting on this site everytime you think BC has the lead on a recruit is perceived as childish and petty.

That folks fail to see the enormous failure in college sports indicated by activity like this amazes me. That someone would devote the time and energy to following this activity is borderline sad. I love college football, but the ills of the recruiting process are profound. I think making a career of trying to correct this would be laudable, but following this type of behavior implies a level of endorsement and complicity.

I don't see it that way. 24 has good connections. If you want to follow recruiting, you want to know where the various schools stand.

To each there own I guess but I've posted much more then just BC stuff here but clearly you have an agenda so you won't acknowledge that. Following recruiting is fun it's the biggest part of college football. It's not sad that anyone would want to follow it. What is sad though is that you would take shots at people for it.

Just a guy to keep an eye for you guys: Kevin Wilkins he's a OG from St. Joe's in NJ. Has UMD and BC offers doesn't seem to have much interest in BC. Think UMD leads but if you guys were to offer you'd be involved. Getting interest from alot of schools good wrestler too.
Wilkins looks like a good player with good size for a guard. From what I can tell in the past couple weeks we have offered:
5'10 160 lb CB Deion Hallmon from Cypress Bay in Fl has offers from Clemson, IU, Marshall, Purdue, Wake among some lower teams.
6'6.5 320 lb JUCo OT Chad Mavety from Nassau CC. He's rated as the #2 JUCO player in the country has offers from Bama, FSU, OSU, Mich st. We probably won't get him. DeLeone is recruiting him.
6'2 200 Ath/S C.J. Reavis from Thomas Dale high in Chester,Va. Has alot of offers and very high on Va Tech.
Also keep an eye on OG Billy Ray Mitchell from Paramus Catholic. He's 6'4 280 lbs he just visited this week has offers from Tulane and Umass with interest from BC. 24 you have any info on him?

I have no agenda. I trust posters on this board with BC affiliations not at all. Don't know how I can be more straightfoward than that.
As for recruiting being the biggest part of college football, well, I always thought that happened in the stadium on game day. But, I guess that's a completely different perspective.
I follow recruiting. I enjoy it. I find for the most part that people who do it largely for a living lose perspective on all of the ills associated with it. Like college programs hiring high school coaches with the primary reason for doing so being to recruit 16, 17 year old kids from that high school. Surely folks see the potential danger in that.

Ok I misread what you said I apologize for that. I think it's quite the opposite actually most of the people I know that do it for a living are sickening by the way it's going. The NCAA has only made it worse with the recent rule changes as well they opened up a Pandora's box IMO.

24, you seem like a decent poster. I will tell you that posting on this board with an obvious BC affiliation will raise many a red flag as it does with me. That BC, as an istitution, seems hell bent on making sure UCONN athletics is relegated to second tier status through conference affiliation certainly doesn't help in that perception.
As for the folks who follow recruting for a living and report on it; if they really had the best interest of 16-17 year old kids at heart they would larely limit their reporting to where kids are going after decisions were made. These kids are not ready for the attention they get from these sites and they would be best left to explain themselves to their parents, hs coaches and prospective coaches. The best thing the media (internet) could do is leave these kids largely alone. Of course, everyone loves to hear that half these kids run 4.4 when we all know they don't.............

uconndogs, I think the vast majority of people here are glad to see BCEagles24 post, because he brings good information and an interesting (outside) perspective. Learning info and having a conversation are the very purposes of a message board.

Just some notes on these guys. Hallmon is a big time academics guy I'd say you will see him fishing for those offers.
Mavety is a beast from NJ had interest from alot of the schools around here but nothing ever materialized and now obviously he's blown up.
Reavis is a VT lock and probably will commit to them soon.
On Mitchell I know he came up with a bunch of teammates for the junior day we had and he thinks were close to offering haven't heard too much on him though. We're taking a smaller OL class once again which is a bit baffling to me.
