2016 Recruiting Thread

No crusade. He just wasn't the QB this team needed.

For a Davies alumni you are being harsh on Tim. Remember he came in under one system and then had three different offenses during his time.

I wish Tim all the best as should all of us

I hope we don't see Harbaugh knocking on our doorstep taking our recruits again. These next few weeks are going to be a sign of whether or not Diaco can truly recruit throughout the recruiting period to until the very end, considering how small the class is supposed to be this year because of only a few seniors here. Unfortunately I would be surprised to see anyone flip to be here. UConn has to be focused on retaining theis class and working on recruits who are de-commits or have not made up their mind yet. But I'm also hoping he can get a JUCO somewhere on offense, just for quick spark of leadership and talent if anything.

I doubt you see this again. Harbaugh was hired just before New Years last year he flipped some guys in the following 30 days leading up to NLI day who weren't convinced about Michigan's future. If this year's recruits wanted to commit to Michigan, they already would have.

The doors are being knocked on

RU after Lonsdorf and Williams; SU and Wake after DeGeorge; LSU after Leone

Yeah lol it seemed like Dez just read the article on UconnReport and then reported it on twitter.

I'm not accusing him of doing that, but the timing is oddly suspicious

I meant Xavier damn auto correct

 

[ktuck911]

Are we still in on DE 's like Izon Pulley, Jimmy Nelson, and Tymer Oliver? Would be nice to grab one of them to help out our pass rush down the road...

I think all of the UCONN beatwriters are bumping heads a bit in these final weeks with their reports..

 

[ktuck911]

huskymedic - Are we done recruiting OL with Lonsdorf, DeGeorge, & Leone committed? Or do you see us grabbing one more?

I'm not sure why Pulley isn't on the list - could have sworn he was but probably my bad as both 247/Rivals show him w/ UConn offer.

Also - i'm sure if a "want" OL feel in their lap, it would be hard to say no.

 

[ktuck911]

lastly, do we go after another WR with the departures of Thomas Lucas and Dhameer Bradley? I know Dixon and Skanes are coming but I thought they might be regardless...

I think the coaches really like Bryan Coney. Walk on from Naugy who had 20 TD receptions as a SR in high school.

Yeah, with Coney and also Battle coming off of his redshirt I think that definitely replenishes the WR corps.

 

[ktuck911]

Forgot about Coney and Battle.. thanks... looks like we have a ton of youthful depth at the position.

@huskymedic Do you know if UConn is expecting anymore campus/facility visits in the coming days before Signing Day?

 

[gioff23]

I would think they would absolutely host one more. My fear is it will be this weekend and the weather will severely impact the event.

This weekend is supposed to be the weekend when a lot of the commits are planning to come in... In other years it is also the weekend when they bring in a few fence sitters/targets. @gioff23 brings up a good point w/ the pending weather (not that UConn will be the only Mid-Atlantic/Northeast school dealing with it). Only two other weekends after this before NLI Signing Day.

Kid has a nice list of offers, hopefully we get him to finish out the class.

Our old friend Kermit Buggs is his recruiter at Old Dominion.
