Amazing ride since the new staff came on. Deonte Sheffield come on down!!!

Imagine 2018 with a full year.

So we're up to 20. Does anyone have a current count for how many open scholarships we have before we need to worry about attrition?

2 spots left

I think if they had 25 they wanted in this class they would sign 25. Some players will not like the new staff, or see that they're not good fits for the system, and will leave after spring practice. We have a bunch of players with scholarships recruited originally as walk-ons, and those schollies don't have to be renewed for last fall. And it's 19, not 20, as the kid from Darien is non-schollie.

I never realized the PWO who win scholarships can be pulled back the following year.

Southpaw, can you post that roster spreadsheet again?

Is he the only PWO we have? I'm a little surprised we haven't heard from more CT kids walking on

Few more tomorrow I bet... Keating was under previous staff.

PWOs don't sign tomorrow anyway. NOrmally, at least under Edsall 1.0, we didn't hear about these until after signing day.

Simply remarkable

Im pretty sure that we will be in another conference soon. That will only add to the value of UCONN Football.

... only if Washington is coming with him.

Book DT Chris Green to UConn, tweeted 323 (his LA area code). Next tweet was 860. Sounds like a done deal to me, as if his picture wasn't telling enough.

19 as one is a PWO I believe all scholarships are for 1 year. renewable at the option of the coach

Maybe but that was just a retweet of a UConn fan tweet @ him.

u see his HUDL tape? Talk about bringing the wood....

He'd be a HUGE commit... that'd be 2 solid and much needed DT commits ... He and Caleb Thomas both look like they could get into the rotation early....

oh wow... Green is currently a Tenn State commit.. IMO he should be a FBS commit though.. That tape speaks volumes... would love to see that kind of passion on our D if a WR came over the middle and caught a Steve Atwater lick from him...
With that said.. I like our chances... a lot... and yeah, I know we have quite a few DB commits already, but, like any other Edsall class that we've all been used to seeing year in and year out, wouldn't be surprised if one of the bunch has a change of heart on signing day and commits elsewhere...

Not that I'm aware of...

We'll see...
