2017 Recruiting Thread

[uconnbill]

Not sure... he was initially offered back in 2015. Some sites have him holding an offer and other sites don't.

It appears that ESPN and Rivals have him w/ an offer and 247 and Scout don't.

Did some sniffing and found this from a few days ago: "South Carolina has moved on from three-star defensive tackle Romello Martin for academic reasons." -- needs to retake SATs.

Let's be honest here Scout has done a lousy job following up on any UConn recruits and why I don't visit there any longer

This weekend will tell a lot. Hope we see 5 commits at least. With only 2 recruit weekends left this should happen right away.

Anyone in mind? Jordan Scott? Raheem Blackshear?

He retweeted this.

No argument = that's why I cross reference between sites before posting most offers. Sad thing is that Scout feeds ESPN alot of the time.

Kid reminds of Donald Brown the way he runs the ball.

How can someone succeed in college when he has zero idea what the word "officially" means?

Kid reminds of Donald Brown the way he runs the ball.

And the kid can catch, several nice receptions in screen plays, dump offs and some sort of hybrid wr/rb plays. Good size/weight for FBS. I hope he comes along.

Looks like the new staff maybe pivoting on RB recruiting is we probably aren't taking 4 RBs.

Looks like it was actually a Lashlee offer, he was lightly recruiting him at Auburn it looks like. I am sure he also showed Richardson his game film. If Rhett thought he was good enough to pay attention to at Auburn and Richardson likes him, then sign me up.

Ha. I recognized his high school field from his highlight film. Flew into Destin-Fort Walton Beach airport back in September and passed by his high school field a couple times. Nice Chick-fil-A down the street.

The old Edsall was pretty inflexible as to grad transfers and JUCOs. He wanted time to make players his. It appears as if he recognizes that he is starting in a hole and needs to be more flexible to produce results more quickly than he did last time. Good.

I'd be even happier if someone on our staff starts following a grad transfer speed rusher.

Lol. Grad transfer speed rushers are most likely headed to the draft, but I agree if you could find that guy sign him up!

I'd love a Trevardo level speed rusher, but no, we don't get that guy as a grad transfer. But given that we have no speed rushers on the roster, I don't need Trevardo. Give me Marcus CAmpbell, or just someone like that who plays the position for a big time school but isn't going to get enough snaps his 5th year. That guys walks into our defensive rotation on day one because that guy is not even on our roster.
