Hahn committed as a safety. Re. Williams, it's not uncommon for schools to bring in a second QB in a recruiting class - it's actually preferable for depth.

Both are RS'g next year so by the time they could conceivably play at least 2 qbs will have geaduated

Look @ the picture of the two "jersey's" inside of the Rent in Rose's twitter announcement.

Morin is a 6-0 175lb WR/FS who transferred from St. Paul Catholic.

As always good job huskymedic. I went to school with his Dad at St. Paul. He was a very good football player himself. Actually linebacker of the only St. Paul team to ever make it to a championship game. Unfortunately lost to Hand in that game.
Austin has a brother Reid that was an excellent receiver at St. Paul and is now a walk at Arizona state. I would think Austin would be a preferred walk on, but obviously don't know that to be a fact.

Nice eye to catch that in the picture!
I am a little surprised to see him as a recruit. Nice receiver, but didn't think he would play at this level. I was also surprised they did not bring in Jamele from last year's team. That kid could make plays!

So was Morin offered a scholarship, is he coming to UConn as a preferred walk-on, or what? That was an interesting tid bit to drop.
 
The Chards are part of my tailgate crew. I will have to ask when we do our tailgate planning.
 
Morin, in all likelihood, will be a preferred walk-on.

Medic with 2 QB'S (Williams and Rose) in this class I'd say we are done at that position.

Sadly, I don't think we're getting a New Canaan kid to commit until the Marinelli family is long gone from the area.

I am in 100% agreement with you on that one!!! Rumor has it Big Lou is softening his stance on UCONN...my take on this..I'll believe it when I see it!

Yeah, a couple more Olineman and one or even two RBs have to be top priority. At virtually all other positions we should be offering to only those that have a higher ceiling than what we already have. In other words, kids that are frankly a reach for us.

Slightly OT: but who do we see as the safety tandem post Obi and Adams? I'd take another safety in this class.

  6. Keith Coleman (OG) - Suffield Academy via Hartford Public High School, Hartford CT
  7. Kendric Pryor (WR) - Homewood-Flossmoor High School, Homewood Illinois (I don't think we need another WR but love the kids size & plays db)
  8. Taylor Edwards TE/WR/ATH) - Alexis Dupont High School, Wilmington Delaware (as an OLB in the 3-4 or TE a la Cam Stapleton)

Two from my wishlist down.... 5 still available to go! Welcome Mr. Rose!

quoted the above text by Jay Rose about Austin Morin & was told that it is correct. As to status of schollie or prefered walk-on, don't know. That wasn't part of the text I received.

Well, JR sure did his part to help the case by tossing him 3 TDs tonight!

It's still early in recruitment. At this point we don't have a shot at either of them. Niang is a Boston College lean, Valentin is a Virginia Tech lean, and Merritt is an Alabama lean.

Niang is a BC lean...go figure ...a Lou Marinelli coached player being a "lean" to a school coached by the protege of his good friends Paul Pasqualoni and George Deleone...the school where he sent another one of his players who had verballed to Northwestern last year.

I'd be very surprised if JCV ended up @ VT. He was just @ ASU on official visit and loved it. He's also been to Oklahoma on an official w/ Auburn/UCLA on tap.

Yes, that New Canaan pipeline dried up right after the PPGDL show was cancelled. Thankfully, we got several great players from NC during that 2 1/3 year debacle :confused:
 
We might have a real shot at Gene Coleman ( 3* WR 6'0 187 lbs 4.4 forty ) and Taylor Edwards ( 3* WR/TE 6'4 228 lbs ). But are we still looking at WR's?
