Do we have any word on guys lined up for OV's to any of the upcoming home games? Cincinnati and UCF are our two biggest opportunities left before we have a Friday night versus Temple (hard with guys having games) and the late season game versus Tulane (can't envision a good crowd for this one)

OL Liam Fornadel from Don Bosco Prep was @ Cuse game.

Sounds like a RKG. Hicks & Hurd come to mind. Local kid who was under-recruited and were 3-year starters.

Agreed - as did Temple and Rutgers @ this point. My sense is UConn will keep an eye on him during year and evaluate/consider a PWO opportunity if it makes sense. Clearly a strong big body.

the better question is - was there ever a year we were ranked respectably w/in conference or nationally?

Chicagoland 3* DE Josh Maize has a Top 3 of#UConn#CMU and #Toledo, but #Cuse and others are watching him this fall

JH is the Rvals Midwest guy. Cherry picking the article:

>>“I like UConn’s Coach (Bob) Diaco. He’s a great defensive coach and he wants to use me in a lot of interesting ways.<<

>>“I have definitely talked with UConn about getting out there and taking an official visit,” Maize said. “Most of my offers are in the Midwest, so I have already been to those schools. UConn is the only school right now I have decided to definitely take an official visit to. “I’m good friends with Ian Swenson, who plays at Loyola and is committed to UConn. We know it is going to be in December and once the season ends we’ll pick that date which works for both of us.”<<

... but he is clearly open to other options: Cincy, PSU, Illinois, Iowa State and Cuse like his film and he will look @ other official visit options based on that.

Love Pierre's enthusiasm.

It would be really great at this point to land Maize, Field and Fornadel. Maize combined with Saulin would set the two DE positions for the recruiting class.

Meanwhile Field and Fornadel would get us started on the Oline with Keating. I would still want 3 more OL kids in this class for a total of 6 which would give us 14 all together. For the next ten I probably would look for two of each: a RB, WR, DT, and LB and one CB, one TE and possibly one QB. I have no idea how many scholarships we have next year, but we typically need to recruit about 24 kids each year. If we can't get to 24, then go with 1 RB, 5 OL recruits and maybe just 1 DT.

Who do we lose next year that gets serious playing time - my short list on the fly:
Noel Thomas
Fatusaki
M. Myers
Obi
Green
T. Myers
Knappe
Puyol
Others?
