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.

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.....

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.

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.
 
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.

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.>>

Wish the kid luck in his college career. As much as it sucks he isn't going to Storrs...that was a pipe dream by most of us here. No way in hell a kid coached by Lou Marinelli is gonna sign with UConn. It was nice to see a kid that plays for Lou's son John stick it to Lou's other good buddy earlier today.

If Lou Marinelli is allowed to have a senseless bias against UConn, then I reserve the right to feel at most ambivalent toward any and all of his products. He is a trusted figure in shaping the path of young men's lives, and it is a shame that he seemingly uses his players as pawns in his game of "F*_k UConn" because Warde Manuel had the gall to fire incompetent employees who also happen to be his friends.

I will be happy when coach Marinelli retires and takes his hatred for UConn with him.

Immaculata football star Mike Lonsdorf de-commits from UConn, will take OV to #Rutgers...
http://www.mycentraljersey.com/stor...s-uconn-make-official-rutgers-visit/79312056/

>>Lonsdorf has also received a scholarship offer from Purdue, Falato said, but it does not appear that the 6-foot-7, 270-pound senior will pay the Boilermakers an official visit. “They came in last week and called him this morning,” Falato said of Purdue, adding that Lonsdorf’s interest in Rutgers is “very high.”

“Initially, we were really interested in Rutgers,” Falato said. “When that didn’t work out, UConn came on. I know it mean a lot to (Lonsdorf) to play in front of his family and friends and to represent the state. That’s very important to him. That’s just the kind of guy he is.”<<

You really can't fault a kid for taking a offer he always wanted. Hopefully it will work out for him.

Ever since UConn fired his buddy Pasqualoni and before that with Randy Edsall. His hatred has continued and he thinks UConn is small time and pushes his players elsewhere and always has.

I think there is something noble about it. Think about this, we encourage kids to believe that if they work hard and believe in themselves they can accomplish anything. It's rare for a kid to stand up, look that positivity and encouragement in the face and say, "no, I'm going to Rutgers."

I know you're joking, but there is something noble about a kid growing up wanting to rep their state school, no matter how sheety that cool is or how uncool to go there it must seem to others that you would want to go there.

UConn is getting there. Tyler Coyle had Jasen Rose both had offers to pick from and chose State U. I believe Dixon had other offers as well.

I'd say the difference is RU used Lonsdorf as a plan C type, but they did just have a coaching change. Good luck to him. Next.
