Funny because KJ was at RU Sunday and that wasn't mentioned in this NJ article? I don't think RU is making too big a push because they have 3 WR's commits already and are targeting Kelvin Hankins and 1 other!?! BC IS a problem with their catholic school NJ connections....this is where HCBD can earn his bones!!! Good luck I think hes a heck of an athlete/WR.

This has Boneyard meltdown written all over it. Hopefully he makes the right choice and we can avoid that.

Are you sure? The 247 "experts" seem to think BC is leading.

 

[BoatShow]

Would be fantastic to win this Northeast recruiting battle. Cuse and RU twitter fans are out in force.

 

[NorwalkHusky]

I'm guessing hes a Seahawks fan based on the background. KJ come on man UConn would love to have you come play for us!

 

[Bonehead]

How many WR are we recruiting this year...?

I checked the RU board and seen he was down there Sunday and I was surprised as RU already has many WR's and went to the Crystal Ball link...it had 6 predictions ..3 had UConn...2 of the UConn predictors were RU insiders...3 had BC....I'll lean to the NJ guys knowledge on whats happening..heres where HCBD can earn his bones...anyway we'll know Thursday afternoon!!! Good Luck I hope its UConn. lol...SU thinks its them..lol..no chance.

Boy in my rush I messed my reply up format wise but that's the basic story.

247 is saying Eddie Hahn has committed to UConn today. Any confirmation on this? BIG if true.

What position was he being recruited at? Anything written up about that?

 

[Sprague03]

If there's a QB I want in this class, it's Eddie Hahn. He's a 2 sport athlete and plays bball- which means he's a RKG (right kinda guy per Diaco). Keeping my fingers crossed...

Well, he won't be playing QB but we still landed him-he'll be playing Defensive Back! That makes it the third 6 foot 3 player to add the this year's recruting class and another RKG.

Excellent commit...maybe HCBD IS earning his bones. Hahn today...KJ Thursday? The Twenty ninth starts the 2 week dead period so these commits are timely!!

R-i-v-a-l-s says Hahn had an offer from N.C. State. That can't be right. UConn doesn't win recruiting battles for 3+* football players when going head to head with P5 schools.

Des is saying he had a Duke offer as well.

How many WR are we recruiting this year...?

Have my doubts on Gray as Uconn has a very small class and I don't know if Diaco wants two WR in a class of 15. However any chance to beat your top 3 recruiting competitors probably is tempting.

You take talent and worry about where it fits later.

 

[31GuardTrap]

Gray is a potential game breaker....get him.

 

[Dynasty]

Exactly. If Skanes and Gray both want to commit, the staff will find a place for both of them.

Play DB as well...

Look at last years class, you will see many end up at other positions.

- I just don't see many kids at WR in HS going to OL in college...
I know, silly, but lets get some big uglies...

247 Crystal Ball is 100% BC for Gray.

 

[Lewconn]

IMO, the way it is shaping up, counting between WR and the DB’s, there will be about 7 recruits between the 3 positions (same as last year)…

[Hey Adrien!]

UConn got their 3rd commit of the season, Eddie Hahn, safety 6'3 200 out of Red Bank Catholic (NJ), same school as Donald Brown. Gotta love that size at safety.
