The comment earlier today about how many scholarships for 2016 were available got me thinking (I know...dangerous).

Does the redshirt rule only apply to scholarship athletes? Can a walk on (preferred or otherwise) redshirt? My question really goes to potentially evening out the classes. a few years ago UConn had something like 28 recruits, Last year: 23. UConn may not have the material to even attempt it but was something that crossed my mind.

Walk-ons can redshirt.

Eh.. he's a transplant from NY. I thought he'd end up @ Clemson. Guess the Thomas' couldn't convince.

I know he's a transplant, but its already bad enough having to contend with the Northeast schools for recruits. Don't want a school like Duke making connections here too.

Not surprised.. Kid goes to my daughter's school... she was telling me a lot of schools were coming in to see him... not named UCONN... and from the interviews I read on him he wasn't coming here.. best of luck to him...

Not when you go to a prep school probably from the time you started middle school... and you're from Westchester portion of NY... Clemson certainly isn't known for academia...
 
Anyone have any info on Matt Murchison out of Hamden Hall? Kid seems like a player in our own back yard and no offers to speak of.

 


Would guess he may have received a new offer?

(KJ Gray btw)

did get a new offer, and is reconsidering making a decision, I'd rather see the kid let things play out. No sense in verballing anywhere at this point..

This was pretty much confirmed. After Keyion and Quayvon, Uconn is reportedly done at WR for this class.

Gray is/considers himself an athlete. There would have been room for him if the staff liked him in the secondary.

Hmmm... Wednesday's article and 247's CBall said BC or UConn and never mentioned his Sunday trip to RU and RU didn't need anymore WR's and now KJ is an athlete? BC and the CB are in trouble. Probably gonna be choosing RU as a DB !?!
 
HuskyMed, just wanted to pass this along for what’s it’s worth, multiple sources are now reporting that UConn has offered Taylor Edwards (wr/te) out of Wilmington Delaware, he plays for Alexis DuPont Hs...
