Has an offer been made to Marvin Williams? He retweeted this
.

I think this kid is special, he can make pro throws from sideline to sideline.

Is it me or is this a great time to be a UCONN Football fan? Haven't been this excited for years.

I think you mean Marvin Washington and no offer that I'm aware of.

Dr. Phillips QB Marvin Washington decommits from UCF

Guess who's following him today (wasn't last night when this first broke).

Senior Year Marvin Washington highlights

Am I missing something? I don't see Marvin Williams link on this... There's a DJ Charles though

Could be a stretch, but Marvin Washington (I mistakenly said Williams) retweeted about two of his teammates going to UCONN, the same school that he is following on Twitter (Rhett Lashlee) after he decommitted from UCF.

Interesting find (and thats an understatement). I just shared this story on the main board.

I hope he visits this weekend, but it probably comes down to what Arizona has to say. I dont know the QB situation at AZ or FAU, but our situation is rather ideal for Washington. If we land a JUCO QB, he can redshirt this year and then its between him and McAfee thereafter. I don't know any properly run P5 or G5 program that doesn't try to have two stud QBs on hand, so there is always going to be in house competition. The question is, what is the depth of that competition. You have to figure at UConn it will be less than Arizona and that means more playing time. Playing time is what is should be about + system fit + school atmosphere.

Welcome aboard Robert King (Temple flip)!

My guess is that they already talked about Marvin Washington (hence why he is omitted) and so this is a pitch for two more prospects.

Recruited by Curome Cox for Coastal Carolina and UConn?

Aman apparently has the scoop on who is visiting this weekend. I think he is suggesting Gardner-Russaw is one those coming in.

Hope he decides to stay home in CT when it's all said and done.. plenty of talent in Windsor, as well as Bloomfield, that seems to pass us by and head north a lot ( BC and Cuse ). Let's keep our top talent home for a change...

16 'Committed' - reasonable guesstimate on how many are left to accept?

Of is it 15 and 1 PWO?

Just under one week 'til the signing period begins. UConn needs between four and seven more newcomers, IME. Do they get there? I Would love at least one of the two yet-to-commit OLs to come aboard. Looks like DT is under recruited as well.

Posted this somewhere else but here are the 4 I'm hoping for. 1. Deonte Sheffield-RB-looks vastly underrated and under recruited. He and Brayden Brown could 1 day rival Donald Brown and Andre Dixon for RB studs in the same class.

2.Marvin Washington/David Pindell we need bodies at QB, the position. I think Pindell could start next year.

3. Garrick Vollmer OL-1st highlight shows him catching a screen pass. Big body that moves well.

4. Elliot Brown listed as a wr I could see him being a freakish pass rushing DE, if he is open to such a move or possibly a TE in the Ryan Griffin mode.

I haven't been excited about recruiting in years.

 

[huskymedic]

but will they hold him? JH/DB went to see his HS basketball game today.

Carl Setterlund ‏@CarlSetterlund 18m 18 minutes ago
I'm told Grafton's Ifeatu Melifonwu will visit Michigan next week. No offer but promising sign Coach Jim Harbaugh came to see him in person.

Carl Setterlund ‏@CarlSetterlund 6m6 minutes ago
Michigan defensive coordinator Don Brown is a Central Mass. native who recruited Ifeatu Melifonwu's older brother, Obi, to play at UConn.

Don Brown gonna flip him...

Wolverine Nation24/7 ‏@247Wolverines
Ifeatu Melifonwu, a three-star safety and current Syracuse pledge, is currently on a visit to Ann Arbor to see Michigan

 

[UC1995]

Lester Axson Jr. (CB/WR) - Foundation Academy is a hard commit to Furman
Zamari Maxwell (CB/Athlete) - Pinellas Park High School is a hard commit to UCF
Noah Hamlin (WR/DB) - Clarion High School Pitt is a hard commit to Pitt

 

[Timking124]
