en route to Storrs, CT

hopefully, if they drove, he left early. Because I-95 North is at a standstill due to a serious accident in Westport.

Waze is the answer - my guess is a kid like EH knows that and is suing the app to navigate his way up. But let's be honest, a Friday night on CT's highways is never fun

Was happy to see Leone's name on that last of OVs given the interest he's picked up recently...gotta keep the big uglies on board

#UConn running back commit Nate Hopkins among top 100 recruits in north Texas per Dallas Morning News
http://res.dallasnews.com/interactives/sportsday-top-recruits/

What's also interesting is that out of the 100 recruits in the DMN story - 8 have/had UConn offers.

Hopkins - UConn Commit

Omotosho - Uncommitted

Miller - TTU Commit
Dryaden - Cal Commit
Boateng - Arkansas Commit
Eboh - UT Commit
Diesch - TAMU Commit
Onwuzurkike - University of Washington Commit

So, who's at MBB game and can tell us which of the recruits are there?

 

[huskymedic]

The Daniels twins committed to Maryland

So I actually ran into the boys last night at Dave and busters in Manchester, recognized Luke carrezola and Noel thomas. I saw jay rose and kenyion Dixon, interestingly enough I saw two kids there who's names I did not recognize. Noel brouse, Brett Schmidt. I think those are the correct spellings of the names but I'm not 100% I assume they are recruits because they had the same passes as rose and Dixon. Maybe from 17' class? Either way I thanked them, told them they had a hell of a season and looked forward to watching them next year.

Brouse is a DL/OL who decommitted from Cuse w/ coaching change but recently committed to Nova.

Nice to see us still in on Brouse til the end.

Even more interesting since he never held a UConn offer (that I'm aware of). Only became aware of him when DeGeorge decommitted and flip here. Staff is still on the hunt looking towards the future years.

I think we could pry him away from Nova--no other D1 offers (outside of Cuse who I'm guessing rescinded their offer when Babers got hired).

Not so sure about Cuse rescinding their offer...

Mike McAllister @McAllisterScout
Syracuse OT commit Noel Brouse @n3brouse was contacted by Co-OC Mike Lynch & was told SU will honor his scholarship

... but that doesn't mean he felt the overwhelming love either.

Thanks Medic. Maybe one of those situations where they said they'd honor the scholly, but he didn't exactly fit the system? Who knows. Either way, let's hope we land him. Can't have too much OL talent...

Elias Reynolds committed to Pitt per his twitter update

79 is Noel Brouse's H.S number. Just sayin...

Ya know... I went there twice and then thought that would be kinda weird absent a commit but...

And the best thing is that Matt Balis will turn these kids into machines. Tyler Davis is a great example. His arms look like cannons compared to when he first got here. Hopefully that translates into a live arm and competition with Bryant at the QB Position.

 

[ktuck911]

Brouse has good get off at the point of attack in both sides of the ball. An assey on either side.

Okay... #8 is more likely Nick Zecchino (LS/QB/DB) not Morin (especially since Jay Rose would have his Twitter name). Feel like a creepy stalker!

So maybe two more coming?

Obi Eboh has decommitted from Texas.
