BC. LOL

BC. LOL

Non committable offer.

 

[JMick]

Obviously just a highlight video, but he squeezed some passes into very tight windows. He also has a pretty quick delivery

Non committable offer.

You see...that time it made sense to me.

Is that 3 years in a row the first commit was the QB? Davis, Williams, now McAfee? Could be wrong.

Kevin Murphy committed before Davis did in that class.

Love his arm strength. Makes it look easy, too. Welcome aboard.

Everett has a great program. That's a nice find.

He really does make the throws look easy. I'm starting to see a trend in the types of QB's we're recruiting, and I like it. I won't be shocked if 2-3 years from now we're a power run team out of the spread a la Baylor

Welcome aboard...I like this kid. Like @JMick said above there is a definite trend in the type of QB Diaco is going after.

Somedays it feels like Diaco is running a fantasy football team in a league where you start four quarterbacks.

ESPN Boston
Everett QB Jordan McAfee commits to UConn

>>The 6-foot-4, 215-pound McAfee has been one of the more highly-celebrated quarterbacks in Massachusetts the last two years. After a brilliant sophomore season in 2014 that saw the Crimson Tide reach the MIAA Division 1 State Final, McAfee picked up his first Division 1 FBS offer from Boston College -- a school with a deep pipeline history with Everett.

McAfee missed a good portion of this past season with mononucleosis, and while the Tide sputtered their way to the No. 8 seed in the D1 North tournament, they kicked it up in the playoffs, reaching their third straight district final.<<

I think he is playing the odds. If our future is not in the 4 we will have when McAfee hits campus, I'm afraid we will never get someone we can start comparing to Dan O.

Great size, big arm, quick release, great feet. ....What's not to like? Welcome aboard Jordan!!!

 

[UCFBfan]

You see...that time it made sense to me.

I'm still lost...care to inform or point in the direction of enlightenment?

 

[UC1995]

I am so glad the days of getting our first commits seemed to happen in June... BIG days are in our future!

 

[BlueandOG]

Welcome Jordan! We are really happy to have you.

 

[uchusky]

Obviously just a highlight video, but he squeezed some passes into very tight windows. He also has a pretty quick delivery

So you're saying he's a 'window throwa'?

Yeesh...

In what way...?

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Nice pickup! The kid is quick, tall, and has a great arm. We took him right under BC's nose. Sweet!

 

[Bonehead]

Welcome Dawg!

 

[pnow15]

How many games this did BC win last season?

 

[UCFBfan]

Yeesh...

Vernon Hargreaves III

Thanks I am now enlightened

 

[UCFBfan]

Forgot to add originally. Welcome Jordan! Can't wait to see you at UConn!

 

[BNich]

Welcome Jordan!

Not saying he is the next Cam Newton, but he plays with a lot of the same swagger. His game looks very similar to Newton's. Good looking athlete with good size and arm strength.
