Just had a long convo w/ K.J. Gray. Although he has yet to commit to#Rutgers, they have elevated themselves after his visit. More in a few.

K.J. Gray tells me he will announce his collegiate intentions, Wednesday, coming off his #Rutgers official visit:

*Also a blurb on slide#13 about UConn commit Mike Lonsdorf (NJ) who picked up a late Rutgers offer and planned to visit but didn't secondary to weather and possibly UConn staff not being happy about planned visit*

Lonsdorf has a nice senior tape...wouldn't want to loose him.

So is it not uncommon for a kid in high school to be a punter / tight end?

no

I wonder why Lucas Niang hasn't pulled the trigger

OT Lucas Niang is back from #MiamiOV & ready to decide #TCU #Auburn
http://www.scout.com/college/footba...5-lucas-niang-near-decision-after-miami-visit

>>Lucas Niang is done with his official visits, and now the New Canaan (Conn.) High offensive tackle will choose either Miami, Auburn or TCU in the coming days.<<

>>When Niang made an unofficial visit to Miami in the spring, former coach Al Golden was in charge. But even with the change in staff and Mark Richt trying to build the program, Niang said he felt at home>>.
...Niang already made official visits to TCU and Auburn, but this was his first time he met up and spent a lot of time with the Miami coaches, and that was a center piece of his visit.>>

Yup...

Congrats to TE Scooter Harrington on his commitment to #BC #legacy

Wow - Decommitted from BC and committed to Stanford. Harrington's Dad played for and was a captain for BC.

Stunning indeed. I don't follow the local HS too closely. No idea what kind of season he had. Hard to turn down Stanford if they come calling, even if you are a legacy kid at BC. BC will be licking their wounds.

This is a big hit for Coach Smoke & Mirrors. Word around here when he was choosing a school was that it would be BC and no one else. A legacy recruit.....

What's the latest on Mike Lonsdorf? Is he planning to make up that Rutgers visit this weekend?

Bummer. He was the highest rated OL recruit by some sites.

 

[uconnflyer88]

The good news I guess is that he didn't actually commit anywhere else, I supposed there is a chance that he could visit rutgers this weekend and commit back to us......ehhhhhh

Should Landsdorf be in black font color? Yes he decommitted, but is there a chance he recommits or no?

 

[Sportsman5]

Should Landsdorf be in black font color? Yes he decommitted, but is there a chance he recommits or no?

There's always a chance. However I think he was doing the UConn coaches a favor by decommitting before he went on the Rutgers visit to give the staff time to fill a need before national signing day.

Habit... changed it. I was on to next man up.

[TheDoggPound]

Had a feeling Lonsdorf would bolt.

 

[BNich]

Had a feeling Lonsdorf would bolt.

What gave you that feeling?

 

[TheDoggPound]

What gave you that feeling?

Someone unfortunately was going to decommit and I just had a gut feeling it would be Lonsdorf or Leone, no inside info or anything. Hopefully we can hang onto Nino.

 

[ktuck911]

What gave you that feeling?

I sensed it when I checked his twitter and it no longer said he was committed to us... He had it written that he was a UCONN commit before you even looked at his twitter account directly initially.

 

[Exit 4]

If they view Brouse as a DL guy, then they must really think highly of Peart/Oak and Crozier. I sure would like a true OT prospect to replace Lonsdorf.
