2018 Recruiting Thread

[Pudge]

Evan Lovell to URI.

A brief skim of CAA Programs within quick driving distance: you find a greater influx of Prep school kids who went to MA or CT ... and some JuCo (*Lackawanna, Nassau, Hudson Valley, ASA). I think we are seeing a trend towards talented Football players in NY & NE going away from HS programs.

The CT Preps are pulling kids in from all over the country... St Thomas More is the latest.

Dante Black’s > Gwinnett County (a few other held UConn offers - staff looking in the right mine for those diamonds )



2018 Gwinnett County Football Signees By High School

 

[Exit 4]

From what I can tell, Troy Ingle never signed with any school this week. He was a western Kentucky commit that had taken an OV to GT and FIU as well. The staff seemed to be on this kid for a short while last fall.

As discussed way earlier in this thread - Marcellus Earlington (#2 on list) decided to pursue CBB instead of CFB:

Probably a level of detail we don't need - but I see on signing day Butts decommitted from Penn State and opted for Western Iowa Community College.

1. Shaquon Anderson-Butts (WR/DB) - Harrisburg High School, Harrisburg PA (Penn State Commit 7/15/17)

As soft as we are in the middle in MBB maybe he could get recruited by Coach Ollie too

Still holding out an itsy bitsy inkling of hope on Jalen Scott. He'd be a major asset to our front 4 on D from day one. (My hope relies on the Kevin Mensah situation)

PWO?

 

[huskymedic]

PWO?

Agreed. Anthony Repollet is a 5-11 230lb LB/FB out of Hamden Hall Country Day School via West Haven CT

[Exit 4]

PWO?

I would think so...but...

The staff has seemingly reached out to a few instate guys since signing day presumably to encourage walk ons.

Blanton in Hartford is another one to watch along with that Prince kid in New Haven. I really like Blanton as he plays physical as an RB.

I think Edsall has moved on but any news on Maloney?

Don't get your hopes on Banton coming in as pwo

In addition to some added maturity, Repollet's tweet suggests an extra year at Hamden Hall helped him get his academic ducks in order. When he played for West Haven, how'd he perform on the field?

Looks like he spent two years @ Hamden Hall and was All-Fairchester Athletic League twice and All-New England twice.

Class of 2018 - Justin Bryant is a 6-0 225lb from Bridgewater-Raritan High School.

Highlights

 

[ktuck911]

Is it safe to say Justin Bryant is a PWO?

Second Team All-State who leaves school with 350 tackles in his career.
Nice pickup for a PWO and the 66th ranked player pre-season in NJ plus he plays basketball.

Some video from his senior year.
