2017 UConn Commit JUCO QB David Pindell (Columbia, MD)

[UConnKev]

Hey Kev, you beat Medic on this one! I didn't know that was possible. Lol

He's on another level of getting things on here, I just casually go on twitter from time to time. Thought for sure it would had been posted already. Though, I did beat him on Rob King too. So he must be slacking, I'm sure he'll post the next five commits before anyone else now!

Our coaching staff is doing its job!

I like these new recruits coming in. Excitement is brewing.

 

[crazyUCfan23]

This is just what we needed. He should be able to come in right away and flourish under RL. Based on the highlights, it seems this new offense would work well for him.

Love this !

Let's get Washington too and we will have the depth we need at qb

 

[fgbrault]

Welcome David!

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

What were his other offers and how many years of eligibility does he have?

He'll be a junior, so I believe he has two years. Other offers were Maine, Coastal Carolina, Temple, Eastern Kentucky (I think), GA Southern, Kent State

Quick release, can throw on the run, accurate and throws long. He also has some nice foot speed.
Is this really UConn football????
WELCOME DAVID PINDELL

Agreed. His release is lightning fast and he poses a serious threat to run the ball when he rolls outside the pocket. Definitely will compete to start this year.

 

[Bezzz]

Kinda looks like Pat White 2.0.

 

[Ldandy]

Good get late in the game for your staff. He should be able to come in and push for the starting job the second he steps foot on campus.

 

[Coach J]

Absolutely huge to get a JC qb. We need to increase talent at qb. This is a start

Word!

So we know Shirreffs is at school and wants to play. If he leaves spring practice thinking he won't play next year, we will have to see what he does. But I can't imagine he's going to run away fraidy-scared because a QB who has never taken a snap at the FBS level shows up wanting to take his job.

Best case scenario would be for Shirreffs to take the job and have a Tyler Lorenzen like season (I've detailed here previously how they have similar skill sets), he makes it through the year healthy so Pindell can take a redshirt, DW starts to learn how to play WR and also takes the red-shirt BD blew on him this year. We open 2018 with Pindell at QB with 2 years eligibility and DW as a game-breaking all-purpose WR.

Didn't realize that BS was definitely back and looking like he was going to be at spring practice.

All I thought we had was some instagram posts and BY speculation haha.

You generally don't bring in JUCOs to redshirt. I suspect that Lashlee considers him the front runner to start this season.

That is all we had. But I found it convincing enough.

 

[hardcorehusky]

Pindell followed me on twitter the other day. I don't tweet a lot and I thought it was unusual to follow me- so I had a good feeling. Congratulations to David and I will tweet to him tomorrow once the letter is signed.

2 years and I saw Temple and Coastal Carolina

 

[uchusky32]

Welcome to the Pound!

 

[Huskyforlife]

Awesome! This is the huge step forward we needed to be competitive this season. RL has his QB, Williams and JM get a red shirt year. Hopefully Sheriffs comes back as the backup.

 

[huskymedic]

2 years and I saw Temple and Coastal Carolina

Check 247 - first list above is correct.

 

[Scoe]

Great news, welcome aboard, are we finally gonna score.

 

[ktuck911]

Welcome aboard David Pindell! Good news all around for our offense....

 

[Palatine]

A bit undersized at 6-1, 185.

We beat Temple and Coastal Carolina.

Pindell was 157 of 257 (63.6 percent) for 2,424 yards, 31 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
He also rushed for 459 yards and eight touchdowns on 94 carries, averaging 41.7 yards a game and 4.9 yards per rush.

Lets go!!!!! Huge. Not so worried about QB depth anymore. Let's hope Shirreffs returns and we have a three man race for the job.

Don't oversell this. Very happy but we got Casey Whitmer as a JUCO too.
