2018 Recruiting Thread

[sportsart]

According to this website;
Preparing for Official Visits

In Division I football, men’s and women’s basketball, and baseball, schools are only allowed to provide a certain number of official visits each year. Football is permitted 56, baseball is allowed 25, and basketball is allowed just 12. Men’s basketball must also split visits between seniors and juniors, who may now take official visits starting January 1 of their junior year.

Odd that they don't have any limits on hookers, blow or sneaker money.

Getter harder...

He is going to be a tough get for sure. I was hoping UConn would tie him up earlier before he blew up as he did. We still have a chance, but my guess is GT has the inside track right now

I think we’re done and the staff knew it and went after the kid from Canada

Cleveland Heights High School, Cleveland Ohio DL

Cleveland Heights High School, Cleveland Ohio DL

Any guesses here?

 

[huskymedic]

Any guesses here?

Well, he rescheduled his visit from the beginning of October to the beginning of December a few weeks back so who knows what he’s thinking. Wouldn’t be surprised either way...

If McCracken rescheduled his visit here and is choosing on his school the end of the week, then I don't like our chances.

Julius Welschof to Georgia Tech. "Wanted to play @ a school w/ strong academics at the highest level against the best week in and week out ".

 

[Exit 4]

Interesting that this 3 star has us in his plans. This kid has offers from WV, MN, Temple, Purdue and others per 247.


Rivals.com - Ezeudu talks top three, future plans

"I am liking Syracuse, Connecticut and Missouri the most right now," said Ezeudu. "I like each of those schools overall, I have done research and I like their academics and plus they have good sports programs.

"I just like the overall school. Every school is a little different, but based on talking with the coaches and what I have found doing my research, each could be a good place for me.

"I know I will take official visits to all three."

Nice to see that we don't already know everything after all...If we can get this young man to commit, HUGE HUGE step in the right direction recruiting wise for our program... Would be a pleasant surprise if he showed up this weekend for his official visit while we play Mizzou...

I'd really like to see similar stories for guys like Smoke and D. Jackson in the coming weeks.

He would be a nice final jewel of a good looking O-Line class

kid resembles/reminds me of another UConn OL Great... Had a pretty decent NFL career and has at least one SB ring I believe.. A Will Beatty...

Couldn't hurt to beat Mizzou this weekend.

Just as an aside - there is a bunch of info behind Storrs Central pay wall that isn't shared on here. They (@RichieSRivals/@AmanfromCT) are trying hard to provide UConn content and it might be worth some subscription support to keep it coming if ya have the wherewithal. No subscribers - content inevitably goes away (I have no vested interest other than the more UConn coverage (especially nationally) the better).

Yeah, I think I'm exactly the kind of guy that should be signing up. Guess its time - which is more worthwhile under the RE 2.0 era.

I used to be a faithful subscriber there. It went to crap for several years. Looks like they got their act together, now I can sign up as a full subscriber again.

Or he knows he is a Husky and figured he would visit his next home after his season is over. It would have been easier to just cancel the visit. But who knows.....

Scrap all that negative talk. TOS has indicated in their story sneak preview posted today that he is coming to UConn this weekend. Given he plans to also announce this weekend, things look good. He looks like a true DT. Frame to play now. Would like to see him elevator his motor however. He's playing big boys in his tape. Ohio kids are big.

That's not what the story says... his OV is scheduled in December.

He may indeed announce his commitment (to UConn or elsewhere) on Saturday but unless it's a complete head fake - it won't be from Storrs.

Hmmm, interesting.

The headline is a tad misleading...

Devon Matthews was on an official visit to UConn today. He spent a good amount of time talking to Marvin Washington on sidelines during warmups.
