lol are you serious if he gets offers from the pac12, b1g and acc that wouldnt be a really tough loss itd be an expected loss

I'd say yes, it would be a loss. Yes he has P5 offers, but it isn't as if they are from USC, Bama and FSU. We should be able to retain in-state kids against the likes of Cal, Duke, Kansas, Rutgers, Syracuse, and BC.

maybe it would happen here and there but very unlikely to win out on that list

yes im serious, not delusional, tarik black is long gone and I dont think there was any chance he was going to stay here but a great local kid, with middle of the pack offers and a superb defensive head coach I would consider that a loss. it amazes me that fans of our team look down upon our program as much as the rest of the country does.

Looks like I missed this one last week:

I'm truly blessed to receive an offer from University of Connecticut#StriveForGreatness#GrindHardStayHumble

Jordan McAfee is a 6-4 200lb Pro-Style QB from Everett High School in Everett MA. Other offer from BC.

They need to come up with the "Spread" designation for QB's...this kid is a classic spread type QB and more of a dual threat than a pro-style. When I think of Pro-Style I think of being under center with 5-7 step drops a majority of the time..with the ability to operate out of the shotgun. The being said he throws a really nice ball with a good touch. He's big, rangy and can make things happen with his feet.

I didn't see you post this before I made a similar comment but it's so true. Nothing about that says Pro-Style. I wish we could just say "QB" and let our eyes determine if they're a running threat or not instead of having recruiting sites decide it for us.

The thing that made me watch the video closely was his other offer. Addazio told Timmy Boyle he wasn't going to be a fit for the scheme he was gonna run on offense. Boyle was definitely a "pro-style" qb recruit.

Boyle may have succeeded at BC but PP ruined him here. I do think Cochran was the better QB all along though - it's too bad he had so many concussions.

Before they change it - see "Level of Interest"... lol.

#UConn picks up a Mass. standout
Jordan Mcafee, Everett HS QB - Schools of Interest & Commit Status - Scout

You know that no matter what he's dropping a star rating minimum just for committing to UConn and maybe another star minimum for committing to UConn over BC. Then at some point @Farrell or @HartfordHank will be here saying that his offer from BC was non-commitable.

For what it's worth he couldn't have committed to BC but I don't think that's really much to do with his talent as it is the coaching changes on offense. Loeffler has different guys he wants versus what Fitch had. I know he had some struggles last season but I believe he had mono so that would explain a lot of them. He's pretty raw but there's a really high upside to this kid. Nice pickup.

I would think this kid is Loeffler's style of QB...he definitely fits the style Addazio had at UF when he was OC and at Temple.

So they offered him but he couldn't have committed? How does that work? Guess he just had to commit to UConn. Poor kid had no other options.
