2017 Scholarship Chart

[Carl Spackler]

Trying to figure out how to make this bigger.

That's what she said.

Next step in the fix-
-) Edsall stated they are interested in a 5th year WR. I expect they find one this spring
.

My guess is Freddy Canteeen. 5th year grad transfer WR from Michigan. Was a big time WR recruit of Brady Hoke who was lost in the shuffle with Harbaugh. Sat out last year with 2 shoulder surgeries. Originally recruited by both UConn and Maryland (Edsall). On twitter, he is currently following/followed by a few UConn coaches/players.

I love the 2017 Carl Spackler! Four words to get his point across! We're heading to the day that you can tell us how Obama screwed up our intelligence services with just emoticons!

So he wasn't even on the Michigan team this year and he graduated early (really?). Apparently he has two years of eligibility left as a grad student and can play immediately because he sat out.
I watched some old tape, didn't see anything that screamed four star talent like his rating.

Leave it in the Cesspool please.

Actually, if you simply call Luke and Stapleton DEs (which they are under Edsall), our 3 LBs work fine under Edsall's old system. Joseph and Levenberry are the MLB and SSLB, both of which are bigger, physical types, and Diggs plays the weakside role that Mo Lloyd and Sio played. I have no idea, however, if we're playing the old Edsall 4-3 (which I think our returning personnel is made for) or the 'Nova 3-3-5. Time will tell.

Actually BL, Diggs would be big enough to play strong side in the first iteration of RE's defense while Joseph and Levenberry would be heavier than any LB's I remember. I do however agree that a lineup with those three as our starting LB's (with those you named moved to DL) would make the most sense.

I'm curious as to what is in store for the defense. RE comments on signing day (referring to Beavers as an LB and Thomas as a DT) tells me we may have something similar to the prior RE defense (four man line, LB/SS hybrid) which won't be too far removed from a 3-3-5.

Time will tell.

Didn't Lloyd and Lutrus play together? they both got pretty big.

Updated the scholarship chart based on position changes and apparent departures.

Anyone else hear a rumor that L/S Nick Zecchino is no longer on the team either? Now that Obi's graduated (who was our 2nd string L/S), who the helk is it going to be?

He's not on updated roster.

RS Frosh Jeffrey Sidebotham is next up and PWO Brian Keating will be on campus this summer.

Sidebothom was very good for the Brookfield state championship teams. I think that battery didn't miss an xp in over 70 something tries.

If true this has the potential to be a pretty big deal.

Eh. We've got one on the roster and another coming in, and a group of highly athletic players who could potentially learn the skill before fall. I'm not worried. Also, I always thought Diaco kept like 6 LS on roster, what gives?

Diaco stock piled TE's like crazy. Long snapping is not an easy skill to learn. It's one of those things that you take for granted until you don't have one.

It was pretty hilarious when the long snapper was one of our biggest recruits.

I read an article from February that said he is transferring to Notre Dame.

its easy for those that have never tried it, consistently accurate and quick snapper that wont be a liability on the field isn't easy.

 

[JMick]

Yes, we're going to watch a LS video



Sidebotham is good. If him and Keating are on the roster we have nothing to worry about.

PATs look fantastic, hes gonna need to work on punts, depth/speed/accuracy but overall not bad

Are we sure Mason Donaldson is a PWO and not on scholarship?

Looking at the roster, we could use another RB transfer this summer. We seem to have 3 (or 2 scholarships) available depending on the Mason Donaldson question. After this year we lose Newsome and Williams, leaving us just Thompson, Hopkins and Vickers. If we lose any of those three (and given the nature of the position, the odds are elevated), we are down to 1 or 2 kids on scholarship and would be forced to play a true freshman in 2018.

Now I am about to lob total conjecture here - but if the Koby Quansah rumor is true and he leaves Duke for UConn, he might be a good player to move from LB back to RB to set up for 2018. He had a solid career running the ball at Kingswood-Oxford.

Yes, just a rumor - floating around here about a month ago. It was put out here on this board in coded words. I have no direct connection to it what so ever.

Look like Luke Sowa is moving on per twitter. Appears to be following coaches at Monmouth and Northern AZ.

Hmmm... result of post spring practice meetings?

I believe Sowa was still a PWO - right?

Yeah, I think he was still a PWO or plain old WO.

Not that it really matters, but I wouldn't leave my UConn education for a couple years of football fun at Monmouth or Northern AZ.

Do the northern AZ girls look like the ASU girls? Cuz if so I'd at least take a recruiting visit.
I can't post just one photo......

Nope (or NAU!)
