2016 Recruiting Thread

It's a touch early for me to be focusing in on 2016 recruiting, and I know that I'll get killed by some for focusing on Connecticut recruits, but my Christmas wish is that we don't allow our top10 kids to get away the way that we allowed them to get away this past year (assuming Chris Clark doesn't come here):

https://rivals.yahoo.com/bwi/football/recruiting/rankings/rank-3471/print

I know that some of these are prep kids who may not feel as tied to the state as others, but I want to put a wall around this friggin' state and prevent certain schools from poaching our talent again. Hopefully, we'll turn it around in 2016...

Seems like a pretty safe bet that he (Chris Clark) isn't coming to UConn, but I guess you never know. Point taken, though. They need to be able to keep this level of talent in-state.

Beat me to the punch Dynasty. This kid is a beast I love his highlight tape. Zach reminds me a little of Matakevich, hope we can convince him stay home.

A lot of those offers were made by the former staff, if I'm not mistaken.

Seriously. When I see his name associated with a recruit, I put the chances at zero the player commits here.

Why does everyone make such a big stink about the Marinelli thing. He's one coach at one HS in Connecticut of all places. Who cares. They've had what, 2 guys go to big time programs in the recent past (3 if you count the OL next season). If the fear is that he wont send his 2nd and 3rd tier recruits to uconn (since guys with P5 offers wont consider uconn anyway), then just find that caliber player elsewhere, they're a dime a dozen (and in a previous post, someone mentioned Petroccio at Staples, maybe it was in the 2015 thread, Staples has no players and is largely successful due to his system, so again, no loss).

Just people consumed with keeping the best players in the state at Uconn. It has never been the case and probably never will be.

JB confirms that Charles Baldwin from Windsor CT (Windsor HS) now a freshman @ ASA College in Brooklyn has another UConn offer. He had an offer in 2014 but ended up going the JUCO route.

He's a 6-5 300lb/6-6 305lb OL w/ other others from Miami and VaTech.

A CT kid with a Miami and VT offer. Don't let him out of the state. Even though he is in Mass now. Bring him back!
 
Medic nice to see the Red bank Catholic/UCONN pipeline has a chance at reopening. For what it's worth my buddy who is a former RBC and UCONN Co-Capt said that Smith is VERY good...getting him will be a serious coup. He said that Hahn is a VERY good ath and we have as good a shot as anyone to land him. He is a serious playmater and would be a "GREAT get" as he put it.

Too early for speculation and expectations. But I like your friends comments and hopeful enthusiasm. 2015 recruiting is just about done. Onto the next class. Let the wild ride begin!

He lives back in that part of NJ...Matt DeGennaro does too. My buddy goes to RBC games as much as he can, and his former coach there is the AD. Needless to say the AD sent a fair amount of kids to UCONN to play football when he was the HC at RBC...and the both of them never had anything good to say about our former recruiting coordinator Matt Cersosimo. Diaco recruited that school regularly for ND...and UCONN is back there recruiting regularly again. There have been LOT of kids that were co-capt's at both RBC and UCONN.
