EDIT: Don't see this young man on Medic's offer list. Preferred WO?

It's possible--he doesn't have an offer listed on rivals or 247, but they're off usually. I doubt he'd walk on though with a scholly offer to Temple; wouldn't seem to make much sense. Anyways, looks like we've got a bunch of skill players and a shot at another with KJ Gray backing out at BC

Doubt he's a PWO... IIFRC Coyle killed it in a few Summer camps around the region and was being looked at pretty hard by various FBS schools. At that point in time, I thought he'd be a kid that we'd obviously offer.. Keep kids like that home ... Now we gotta get some of those linemen from Windsor as well. Those kids seem to always translate to the NFL...
Oh, and btw, nice to finally see us get a commit during the 'dead period' and hear about it during the dead period.. unchartered waters for us, no? The only dead period stuff we've heard about in the past is maybe a juco coming our way or a transfer

I think you are over-thinking the "dead period" - dead period just means no face-to-face meetings and can't watch games or visit high school. They can still call/write/text/email during a dead period.

I get what you mean, but as far as us fans are concerned, as far as us getting info on verbal commits around this time, and really any updates, it just hadn't happened much if at all... It's just nice to hear something like this as a fan... It's giving us more of UCONN football even during times that were normally 'quiet'... which makes the entire experience better...

What position is he best suited for? I watched the highlight video, he is a gazelle like runner with leaping ability, but didn't see a lot of cuts and route running or tackling on defense. Good looking athlete though for sure.

My educated guess is he's being recruited as a defensive back. He would be #4? for this class (Dixon, Hahn, Herring and Coyle).

I thought Dixon was coming in as a WR, has something changed on that front (not as though he isn't an athlete that could switch anywhere)?

Aman ‏@Aman_UConn Jun 19
#UConn commit Keyion Dixon will be playing wide receiver at UConn, but is likely to play quarterback his senior year at GHS.

Desmond Conner ‏@desmondconner Jun 19
Hearing Keyion Dixon WR out of #Glastonbury No.2 recruit for #UConnFootball '2016 is a player now; really going to be one in couple years

Agreed about Coyle.. think we're possibly done DB hunting.. but I disagree on Dixon.. I say they put him on offense first... if he doesn't pan out there then he goes CB.. my educated guess.. With all the talk about his athleticism you'd hope he'd translate to CB if it doesn't work out for him at WR. That length at either WR or CB is an asset.

Nothing changed, you are correct on WR. I was rushing. My bad. (scrolled up to list/eliminated QB and focused on CB but blanked on original position).

Parnell Motley committed to Oklahoma a 2 days ago.


Yesterday, a 247 Rutgers insider gave a crystal ball prediction that KJ Gray commits to UConn. As always, take with a grain of salt...

I think it happens.. from what I've seen over the past year since I've followed 247, they get a little more accurate closer to signing day... around mid December and beyond...

My bad bro... You da man.. And a very Merry Christmas to you and your fam... your work is very much appreciated.
 
Just an interesting note--KJ Gray retweeted a UConn football account tweet about Jamar Summers. At least shows that he's actively interested in the program.
 
KJ Gray's tape reminded me of Noel Thomas' high school footage. Looks like a great athlete.

Anybody else notice how much twitter love Skanes is getting from Syracuse?
 
SU 's new Stagg is going hard after Skanes. He may take an official there reportedly. Fwiw.

It's not surprising considering he had a BGSU offer and Babers' stint @ Eastern Illinois before that, I just haven't seen anything on Twitter but could have missed it over holiday. There was speculation on a Cuse site on whether Babers could leverage Cuse P5 against kids he recruited @ BGSU.

Feb 3rd is still a long way away... Buckle up.

Oh gotcha K, I saw that, I thought you were referring to a specific tweet or something along those lines from one of the site reps. I saw the "I'm hearing rumor" on TOS. Not surprising that a few of the UConn commits continue to be recruited.
