2014 Recruiting Thread

[HuskyFan16]

It does say "soft verbal" ... whatever that means.

Anyone know the status of Vazzano, the St. Joseph's QB? Everyone I talk to says he's a late bloomer. Has size, arm strength & maturity.

Saw him play against ND-WH. Nice field presence. Haven't seen him pop on Rivals/Scout/247 yet (not sure why because he has the measurables).

Just an FYI, ESPN Boston had 4 writers give their midseason Mass. all state football team. All 4 writers had Leicester's Roderick on their all defensive team. Three of the four writers had him as defensive POY.

Need to stay on him so he doesn't get poached during this transition.

I mentioned him last year. I like the kid. Great size, big arm, good pocket presence, and can run a little. Not sure why more schools aren't on him. I believe he's a very good baseball player, as well. But don't quote me on that.

#UConn commit Jordan Fuchs is back at Milford Academy Post original url/176phPY

Guess we'll see come January.

 

[Exit 4]

I hope Jordan comes to UConn. UConn remains a great opportunity to play two sports.

Both Summers and Wright seem to be having a great season at Milford. Summers has 6 interceptions per Fuller and Wright has been elevated to an "87" rating by 247 making him our highest rated prospect on their site.

Somewhat off tangent, I hope the program is able to scoop up one or two JUCO lineman. We need to go into next season with options; true freshman vs JUCOs vs the current development projects already here.

#UConn commit Alec Bloom had five catches for 135 yards to keep his Ligonier Valley team undefeated Post original url/1fQNrl3

Gotta keep fighting to keep him in fold but PSU chasing hard w/ new found schollies.

Now Pitt appears to be trying to poach as well (not unexpected with coaching change):

Pitt /recruiting fans. I'll be covering the Ligonier-Homer Center game tonight. Ligonier features UConn commit/Pitt target Alec Bloom

 

[sportsart]

The mantra "you can play right away" has never been more true. Hopefully the recruits realize this. Especially at TE

 

[huskymedic]

“@SuffieldHoops: @BMcAllister_3 had a video game-like game 5 TD's and over 300 all-purpose yards! Ladies and gentlemen, please call the man Run BMC!”

Brice McAllister vs. Cheshire Academy today.

Jordan Fuchs will be eligible in January​

 

[COOSCOOS13]

Was premature the first time. That's my bad. Still hopefull a head coach can be secured before December the 10th Uconn is stil a great academic institution. And has a great campus

Let Jordan know UConn fans feel he can be a huge part of the turnaround. Too bad it didn't happen under coach P,

Former East Longmeadow football star Brice McAllister of Suffield Academy still committed to UConn, but opens up recruiting following coaching change

http://highschoolsports.masslive.co...er/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

>>McAllister, a senior running back and safety at Suffield, is verbally committed to play next year at the University of Connecticut. After Huskies coach Paul Pasqualoni was fired Sept. 30, however, McAllister decided to re-open up his recruitment and consider other options.

“It doesn’t really change my mind, but I’m still open to being recruited just in case they bring in a new coaching staff,” McAllister said. “I talked to the (interim) coach, T.J. Weist, and the running backs coach (Kermit Buggs). They still want me – they feel I could do really well in the offense.”

McAllister has not scheduled any visits, but he has received interest from the Ivy League schools – Pennsylvania and Harvard, in particular – as well as Boston College. The Eagles are recruiting him as a safety, though, and McAllister prefers to play running back."<<

Jinxed it by posting his YTD Highlights earlier today here

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

We will likely have an entire overhaul on the coaching staff. Kids would be foolish not to be looking at other options.

Jordan Fuchs will be eligible in January ​

From JB @ TOS:

>>Now that he is officially back on the market, Fuchs mentioned a few schools that have begun to show more interest. "Well right now I have an offer from Rutgers and interest shown by Miami, Syracuse and USC," he said.
Fuchs, who can enroll at a school in January, will visit Syracuse tomorrow to get a closer look at the Orange.<<

>>With an offer from Rutgers and a visit to Syracuse tomorrow, is Fuchs still considering the Huskies. "They are still under consideration," he said. "There's a lot of uncertainty with who the head coach will be and he could bring in an entirely new staff. They are having problems at the quarterback position too, so it's questionable.<<

Ha - like Rutgers doesn't have QB issues?

The good part is there are only 6 more weeks of uncertainty left. Unless of course Warde decides to scratch a Nutt.

Eh... it's frustrating but I don't blame some of these kids for keeping their options open, some are more solid than others because they are picking the school for the actual school - not the head coach. If you are good enough and fast enough you'll stick w/ whatever coach is there for the most part.

Yeah. Not a fan of the potshot at Boyle, Whitmer, and Cochran.
