Like how Coach Dotten-Carter keeps appearing on this march to the 2018 Class.

We need young dynamic recruiting coaches.

Yes DDT likes to work (love it!). He keeps his travel coordinator super busy as he seems to bounce almost daily between FL and TX.

Big recruiting weekend ahead. Two things working in our favor.

1) Weather is going to warm up and deliver 40s on Saturday and maybe 50s on Sunday.
2) UConn - Villanova game at noon Saturday. a) #1 team, b) we are not recruiting against nova on football, so no poisoning of the atmosphere so to speak if we lose

Baldonado just got a Nebraska offer

-Baldonado
-Woodson
-Surgers
-Shaw (seems to favor staying closer to TX)
-Nwaogwugwu
-Jalen Scott
-Ty Keirns (Ohio kid planning to walk on at OSU)

Not gonna happen look at his twitter..iowa

Maybe - but it would sure help if UConn recruiting efforts received the same “attention” by UConn media outlets/blogs for him to retweet.

Can’t retweet what isn’t out there...

The only one who knows that is the player himself as you can't take too much from what is on Twitter.

Vero Beach High School’s Ryan McDonough is currently a Georgia Southern commit:

Kaymar Mimes picked up a BC offer today and Jayden McDonald a Purdue offer. We all want the same toys.

Yes and now this evening Pitt has offered Baldonado. Pitt thought they had Mimes and maybe they still do, but everyone is throwing out more offers until decisions start getting made!

So enough with that chase, lets just put all our effort into getting Woodson and either one of Surgers or David N (not gonna spell it).

Edit update: subscriber base star alert. Baldonado is now a three start 87pt player thanks to the Pitt offer. Looking back, they also just got around to making Metz a 3star 84pt player for Cincy. When they are done 75% of the 2018 class in D1 football will be three star!

Flagler Palm Coast High School in Florida:

 

[UConnRock]

The only "diamond in the rough" at Flagler would be Norman Brown a 6'3" 265 DT who was a Central Florida All-Star. He is undersized, but is a 2 sport athlete who also plays basketball. Edsall likes that kind of stuff. He would be a project. Edsall could also have been looking toward 2019 as they have a ton of junior talent.

 

[ktuck911]

I distinctly remember another Brown Edsall had up in Storrs who had a pretty good career up in Storrs then, IIRC, a cup a coffee in the NFL.... Cody Brown...

Over the summer we offered Brayden Willis, a rather chiseled looking 6'4 TE/WR down in Texas who went on to rack up 1658 Total Yards 27 Touchdowns. Since mid December he has picked up a Utah St, Boise and Wake offers along with N. Texas. He did a Utah St visit last week and has Boise St next weekend. No word if he has a visit scheduled this weekend. Looks like a Utah St lean at this point. Really good looking player here in this one.

Brayden Willis on Hudl

Wasn't he originally recruited by the previous regime?

247 says we offered in July 2017 and Corey Edsall along with at least 5 others on the staff are following him on twitter.

Taylor Martin is a 2018 DB from Episcopal High School in Belaire Texas (Southwest Houston area)

McDonald visiting KState this weekend:

Looks like a toss up between Ole Miss, Purdue, Iowa and Kstate with Uconn as the true dark horse.

But if we land Rayam this weekend i’ll be happy with that. Rayam picked up an offer from FAU this week.
