2017 Recruiting Thread

[businesslawyer]

Not buying that this kid is a goner. He's visiting Tulane, not a P5 school. Plus Tulane is about as low down the AAC pole as we are. I could be wrong and the kid could be gone, hence all the DB recruits lately, but I'm not buying it yet. He might just be looking and could still stay committed after the visit.

I agree that he, along with McAfee, were the two I wanted to keep. Hopefully this is just a visit and then a realization that UCONN is where he wants to stay!

So do we known from Twitter whether the new staff still wants him? Are they all following him? Has he been to UConn since the Staff change?

Some of you follow this much more closely than I do, but given the speed players we've been recruiting is it possible that this is one of the players that was told they weren't wanted?

Swenson visiting Tulane this weekend?

 

[JMick]

Hopefully Matt is right on this one. Swenson looks to be the real deal

Edit: it still says UConn commit in Swensons bio and he's been retweeting the new UConn verbals so I'd guess he is staying committed

 

[jojipoji]

We need Swensen! With uconn's recent success in the NFL with DBs, perhaps there is a growing perception that uconn is DB U!

Would've loved to have snagged this one but Raheem Blackshear to Michigan State:

Best of luck to him.. This late in the game, when the P5's start calling, kinda hard to keep a higher profile recruit in the fold with a new staff... Time to move on... Our Edsall run staff will strike lightning in a bottle with more playmakers before 2/1/17...

So far the guys Edsall and staff has committed so far are all impact guys.

I think it's a commit based on this post from former IU QB Zander Diamont who wore #12

If he pulls that off he is no longer Edsall but EDSAVAGE. Love all the recent commits but stealing from Boise would be a savage move from Randy

Congratulations David! You're going to like the new spread offense here at UConn. What a nice tandem we're going to have in the backfield next season!

Any reason to believe that except for being from MD? Him, Pindell, Sheffield and Gardener-Russaw would make the class ubelievable. If we got two of them we should be ecstatic.
