2017 Recruiting Thread

[huskymedic]

Medic what happens if we go over the 80 scholarship offers in Feb? Cuts in the spring?

FBS programs are allowed 85 scholarships on its roster at any given time so there would have to be movement (Gray shirt/PWO/Roster attrition)

Cameron Hairston

 

[huskymedic]

I think it is Cameron Hairston. 6'3 WR out of Missouri.

I think you might be right... Jaylen Hill holds an offer so that was the assumption.

Cameron Hairston is a 6-3 WR/CB from Lee's Summit North High School in Lee Summit Missouri. Scout shows other offers from NDSU, SDSU, Central Missouri State and Emphoria State.

Junior- Senior Year Highlights - Cameron Hairston highlights

Now if we can just figure out if he's actually committed.

Ouch - fixed.

So with 17 commits... barring anyone being flipped prior to Wednesday we are looking at a possible 4-5 more with Hairston or Hall (WR), Kayuoto (DE) or Gardner (LB), Vollmer (OL), Sheffield (RB) or Chukwuneke (RB), and with Washington or Pindell(QB)

Thinking we have Hairston, Sheffield and Washington locked up and Villmer a Wednesday surprise.

Who would leave the team to let this happen?

 

[huskymedic]

So with 17 commits...

Keating is a PWO - pending Hairston confirmation I count 16 commits.

I think many have the numbers screwy in their head.

We have about 75 scholarships slotted ... and there might be a good handful of exodus to come by the end of Spring. If it is 75, then we have 10 coming into this weekend to give away ... plus plus. And, often we see a few CT or NE kids slip in the last weekend as preferred walk-ons. As this is a new coaching staff, we might go the full 45 days after NLOI day making roster adjustments. Like? I think we are due for a walk-on Kicker or Punter. And, maybe a few CT kids to play Line.

I would have a different prediction list. I think I can wait til Weds. I expect 22-23 names; that is a little short of 85.

Unknowns? Yup ... Edsall often had kids sign on NLOI that we never heard of ... and we might have that kind of surprise.

 

[ucjoet]

Any idea who this is?
Edit: being that this person also said on the 23rd that he committed to North Dakota State and he looks like the build of a WR; Jaylen Hall maybe?

UPDATE: My brother picked up a full ride from UConn yesterday. He's gonna be a Husky!

Not sure who the player is, but definitely saw his mom ( in picture above) at hoop game last night. RE's wife ( don't know her name), made a point to take time to sit with her for a bit and talk. She was with the coaching staff and the rest of the recruits watching the game. Maybe we make RE's wife our new recruiting director.

 

[BNich]

Anyone else surprised at how little we have heard?! Also, no more new commits from this OV weekend. We usually here one or two. We had a handful after the last one.

My thought is that at this point recruits are figuring there's no point in committing now when the NLI signing day is right around the corner. Might as well take time to reflect and not rush into a decision. I do hope that we are able to land Marvin Washington.

 

[huskymedic]

Per Aman @ Storrs Central - TJ Gardner will be announcing at the Signing Day ceremony at Windsor High on Wednesday.

 

[huskymedic]

Someone send directions to Storrs to Mr. Washington:

Bodes well for us

 

[Exit 4]

I have to figure the staff knows where they stand with many, if not all of these kids. Some might have asked for a night to sleep on it, so lets see what tomorrow brings.

Gosh we are so close hauling in a class that could really be exciting.

 

[jayfromfla]

You assume all were offered a scholarship. Maybe during the interviewing process they determined (staff) is not interested in one or a few of the OVs

Bodes very well. He's already committed but he will be announcing on signing day. Hmm.

They are having a signing event @ Windsor HS and Jason Pinnock is signing his NLI for Pitt @ that time as well.
