I hope the staff is going hard after Ben Mason from Newtown. The kid has been a beast the past two years.

 

[Exit 4]

As a blocker, he stays low off the snap and gets good leverage. Seems like a great OL prospect. Maybe OG.

Plays bigger than this twitter photo would suggest too.

i do love seeing that UConn was one of the first offers for both Hill and Dillon. Hopefully it helps us gain traction before big boys like Nebraska come in and offer

Dillon is from MA and unfortunately has a ND legacy lean (Grandfather is ND legend and College HOF inductee Thom Gatewood).

We've been on this kid for awhile now... would be nice to beat the likes of all the FBS schools recruiting this kid.. would be another major step in our recruiting efforts. Anybody else see that list at the start of his highlight reel?

Seems like a great kid to be the 1st one to commit to the 2017 class.

I've talked to quite a few people in Fairfield County recently that said Andrew Stueber, OT from Darien "can go anywhere he wants". Recruiting is heating up for him. He's bigger, stronger & more athletic than Lucas Niang (TCU commit) who had some very impressive offers. I'm amazed he's not on any of the recruiting service websites.

If you're amazed? Then I believe everyone else is. If he's more athletic with more potential than Niang, then why hasn't he surfaced at all?

oh for some reason I thought he was at chesire

BNich, Rivals has a profile on Stueber and they are indicating that UConn has offered… at least as of yesterday morning…

Lewconn - I saw that "plug profile" as well (along w/ BC offer) but I haven't seen him w/ a UConn offer listed anywhere else. I usually look for two sources before adding to "list" to avoid adding/subtracting. Anyone have/see another another confirmation of offer?

He's got the pedigree (WCFF All CT Team, etc...).
