Uconn is well represented, sure, that makes me happy. They haven't been doing it for nearly as long as most of the P5 schools. People cry out on here for Uconn to get to a P5 conference so they can bring in bigger recruits among other things. Fact of the matter is, Uconn is not currently in a P5 conference and those "big time" recruits who are in state look else where.

Uconn by 3.

I think you'd find UConn about middle of the pack in FBS. If you're going to compare us to Ohio State and Michigan then yeah but Syracuse, UVA, Wake Forest, Duke, Iowa State, Washington State, Baylor, I think UConn could hold its own against all those schools in terms of current pros. UConn has outstanding facilities and a big time strength coach. I think they will continue to do find producing pros. I expect Byron Jones and Geremy Davis to catch on off this year's team.
 
It all started with Wilkins and the question, why don't in state prospects, with those offers in hand, not want to play for Uconn? Look at his offer list. My reasoning for comparing the two. If I had the same offer list, I would play outside of the state as well. Like many have mentioned, conference affiliation and exposure could have something to do with it as well. I am sure some feel going to a big D1 school in one of the P5 conferences means coaching from some of the best in the college game. Again, something else to consider.

Hudanick is the kid left on the board I really want to see land here. I'll admit I don't get to watch a lot of high school tape, but of what I have seen, his stands out. It seems that with every snap he wants to dominate the player in front of him.

We need to do a little more winning, then maybe the 4 star in state kids would take a longer look. At this point, as long as Wilkins doesnt end up at BC, I'll be fine. I think Diaco has the charm to pull in a couple 4 star in state kids once we have restored a winning program.

Because there isn't a 2016 Recruiting thread yet, Tyler Davis keeps reaping this kid on twitter. 3 star LB out in Cali. I followed him on twitter, he immediately DM'd me to talk UConn football.

Agreed.
 
Chicken or egg sort of problem. Players want exposure that an established program can provide. They don't want to be a building block because what if it takes longer than 4 years to build?

Also agree. Someone has to pave the way and be the one.

Yessir...By and large, their egos are to large to think it should be them. Football is the ultimate team game. Much easier to steal a 4 Star in basketball. One player can have a much larger effect on the team.

Correct. I know the current class isn't made of 4 stars, but seeing them interact through social media and games, the brotherhood, family bond for lack of a better term appears to already be forming before they even hit campus. Good to see and could prove better than 5, 4 star athletes with an ego.

UCONN has more pro's than Michigan St, Rutgers, Louisville, West Virginia, Pittsburgh and a number of other schools. Tied with BC and Arizona St.

I don't think we have more pros than Rutgers or BC, the others I don't know about. The point is clear, playing at UConn doesn't put you at a disadvantage to playing in the NFL.

One of my Senior Chiefs (big LSU fan), always asks me what the hells going on up at UConn?

They show these crappy records, but get guys drafted and I never have an answer for him

If we go that route, I would like to see a qb for depth/competition purposes, and an O Lineman.

I haven't seen anything posted anywhere about targeting any JUCO's. Those chips tend to fall closer to signing day or later in the recruiting season IIRC in years past.

I counted each one so yes we do have more pro's than Rutgers and even with BC
 
I'll have to take your word for it Rutgers. They have about a half dozen on the pats alone.

I'm guessing Diaco will not go after any of these "short term fixes" as he wants to mold these young men into his spitting image and thinks his 5 year contract gives him the security and time to do so. His fellow assistant coach from the ND days thought he had the same time and used that gameplan at UMass, and after failing miserably was about to go that route before he got canned. I'm willing to make the usual bet Mortimer that we do not go after any JUCO's while maybe we get one or two grad transfers at best.
 
.-.
I'm pretty sure Diaco has said something about not taking any JUCOs. Of course, he would probably have to reconsider if he misses on some targets.
 
According to Rivals, Raby didn't get an offer during his visit but the staff will go down to Florida to visit him in December.
 
Tyler Davis is now a 3 star according to Rivals. The class of 2015 has a total of four 3 stars now. Diaco has shown the ability to find talent and not following the "star" status on these so called specialty recruiting websites.

Kevin Murphy was a 2 star athlete when he committed to UConn before being bumped up to a 3 star.
Tyraiq Beals was a 0 star athlete when he committed to UConn before being bumped up to a 3 star.
Tyler Davis was a 2 star athlete when he committed to UConn before being bumped up to a 3 star
 
Just like that, Tyler Davis became a better player. I'm kidding. I'm hoping this kid provides competent play at the position in the near future.
