Anyone have the scoop on the 3 star lineman coming to visit per TOS?

And I wonder where we are at with Christian Izien. He camped with us over the summer and attended a Rutgers on 9/9. His twitter account indicates that he friends with Lazarus. He did retweet the Corey Edsall UConn coaches picture back in late August. Kid is shifty, plays RB, WR and DB. I'd like to see him try RB with us or Corner. Has a cut move, decent speed and certainly can catch. Shades of Swann and Mensah.

The potential two deep next year for the rebuilt OLine:

Peart / Maloney
Leone / Homles
Beebe or Jefferson / Hubbard
DeGeorge / Ofori-Nyadu
Van Demark / Rooney

Just having a fun time guessing here. Need either Beebe or Jefferson to commit for center and Ofori-Nyadu.

You have these guys pushing Crozier off the 2-deep? Isn't he only an R-Jr.?

I think Crozier could be pushed out next year by the right recruit. Need to see the rest of this year first, but so far I am not convinced he's untouchable.

Fair, I am just very wary of true FR starting from day 1 on the OL. Even RVD is getting eased in game by game.

Of course. A true freshman at Center would be very unusual, but Edsall has already demonstrated rather unequivocally that capable freshman play today, no saving for tomorrow. And, my hypothetical OLine for 2018 might be what it looks like in by game 6 rather than game 1.

Rivals has this kid visiting Boise State this weekend.... So, let's hope he doesn't commit this weekend..

Based on my read, I’d be very surprised if he committed w/o checking on UConn in person in a couple of weeks.

I blame Exit 4 ... for Ryan Crozier's absence

So my critique put in motion the bad luck that ended his season?

Does anyone have intel on who is practicing at center on this squad? I'd like to hear that Hubbard is considered the third guy after Schafenacker and the two long snappers are the emergency back ups.
