That's hilarious

When compared to a staff lead by HCRE....and he is the nice one...you really crapped the bed.

 

[CL82]

Ummm... lol.

"Where's Ryan Dickens? I recruited him the hardest".

 

[sportsart]

As I digest this awesome day I have come to this conclusion. This class, put together and held together, in just a few weeks time is really an epic event.

If this staff can do this in a few weeks, can you imagine what can happen in a year? If they can catch lightening in a bottle this year, look out for next years recruiting class.

 

[Jax Husky]

Ummm... lol.

Oh snap!

 

[Papadukes]

I can't wait to watch this kid I'm betting my lunch money he will be a stud. Go Huskies

I believe I liked the first 50 posts in this thread. I am pumped about this class. The staff did great work in such a limited time. Let's get this thing going!

Ummm... lol.

This is one of the funniest things I've seen on the Boneyard in a long while. If ever there was any doubt that Athletic Director Dave made the right call, this video should clear that up quickly...

 

[whaler11]

Heh heh. Beavers.

 

[BlueMAB]

We signed more QBs than TEs. That's enough to make a grown man cry tears of joy.

 

[whaler11]

Ummm... lol.

The kid's name is Beavers and he bashed the old staff. He's my favorite player since Fincher.

Edsall gets to have PWOs? I thought Diaco invented those?!?!

 

[TheDrifter75]

Love this! Pulling for you Brian!

UConn bought the rights for Randy from Diaco just like Minnesota bought the rights to "Row the Boat" for Fleck. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

 

[UConnDan97]

Those pictures of him as a younger kid at the stadium and with his dad; those are just awesome! I hope he has an awesome UCONN career to go along with it...

I know you're joking but it seems some people are clueless as to why teams have a 100+ on the roster.

RE 2.0...I think we know what website AD Dave sends entry-level AD employees to browse in their spare time.

Pretty lackluster class by the Huskies. I'll be a fan of the Beavers kid though, he went to my high school. I know recruiting during a transitional year where you get a whole new staff is tough but pretty much every recruiting site has UConn's class ranked near the bottom of the AAC and in the 80's or 90's nationally. I know you guys will hype it up because you know these kids a bit through following the whole recruitment process but the bottom line is this was a very subpar class and most likely won't get UConn anywhere near the top of the AAC. On the other hand my Bearcats of Cincinnati's class is ranked #1 by Rivals, #1 by Scout and #3 by 247 and that's not even counting the addition of Ohio State transfer Torrance Gibson, Gibson has a chance to possibly be the biggest impact transfer in the country. If you're wondering, he does not have to sit out a year, he'll be eligible right away. Our staff was hired on December 10th and put together either the best class in the AAC or real close to it. Talk about getting the job done. I look forward to our game this fall in Nippert Stadium.
