Yeah yeah yeah - just wondering who is coming aside from the few we know. I am hoping we have some surprises.

Interest in Austin Alexander @ St Thomas More (via Cali):

Held UConn offer but... RB Scott no longer committed to RU, unlikely to return

Committed to Indiana.

 

[Exit 4]

Reading the twitter tea leaves, several of the coaches are following Nuru Tunch and Donte Black, two Georgia RBs. Check out their HUDL tapes, you won’t be disappointed. No idea if they are coming on secret OVs, one can only hope.

The other part is, Paul Johnson's seat has to be starting to get warm down there.

Kids never factor that into their decisions and I get why, but it's very likely Johnson isn't there very much longer.

Maybe, but I don't see it. This is GT, not Clemson or FSU. PJ in 10seasons has 75 wins, 8 bowl games, 4 div championships, 2 orange bowls. I agree the last 3 years have not lived up to prior 7, but last year (16) they were 9-4.

I don't like the O they run, but I really don't see them making a change unless the wheels come off

That is better than I thought.

This kid visited last spring as I recall. Buffalo 3 star RB opts to stay home - University at Buffalo.

Why haven't we shown any interest in this kid?

Sometimes you reach out to a kid and they make it clear they are not interested in you. Not saying that happened here, but I know of some highly recruited CT kids who wanted out of CT and no part of UConn.

Rivals has Nuru Tinch listed as a UAB commit at this point, but maybe we are doing some last-minute poaching there? 5.4RR for him and 3-star 5.5RR for Dante Black. Both look like they could be very nice RB options...

Yeah, I think that is happened with guys like Bothroyd and Casey Rogers. You reach out, you talk to their HS coach and you get some pretty clear feedback sometimes. Got to invest the time in kids that you have a shot at rather than spin the wheels.

Anderson Hardy is a 6-6 260lb OL/DE from Sanderson High School in Raleigh North Carolina. Other offers from AppState, Bucknell, Charlotte, Coastal Carolina, ECU, Georgetown, ODU and WKU.

Twitter account indicates he's now an Appalachian State commit

 

[Exit 4]

Take another one off the board. Corey Thomas, nice looking TE from VA who did a JUCO year at ASA in Brooklyn has committed to VT and will enroll in January. He visited UConn this fall and the staff visited ASA again a couple weeks ago.
