What camps should we be paying attention to this summer for possible 2018 commits?

saw this on twitter and liked it but i missed the #DBU, the fact that a 5 star prospect recognizes that UConn produces DB's like no other is something

Ya gotta know that's surely part of the sales pitch - glad he was paying attention.

Not sure I completely understand your question w/ the "possible commit" comment, but if you are asking what are the most recognized camps outside of individual on campus camps, they would be any of the Nike Regional camps/Nike SPARQ Camps, the Under Armour Camps, National Underclassmen Combines, U.S. Army National Combine, andthe Elite 11 Regional Quarterback Camps. That's where the names (and "rating stars" tend to materialize from).

If you don't believe in your self nobody else will.

Interesting that his HS Football coach is Alvin Cowan who was the Captain/QB @ Yale early 2000's.

So do you think that someday we'll offer someone who is more apt to consider us?

I say that only because, well WTF?

 

[businesslawyer]

Or a CT kid (as the one listed was to play QB in Diaco's system and almost certainly is not the type of QB that we'd be looking for now).

I been wondering the same thing. I know it's early but there has got to be some CT senior to be worthy of an offer no?

I'm sure there are but 2018 is not nearly as strong as 2017 was for CT High School/Prep kids. I think Wholley/Crocker will have CT covered.

Bunch of kids (in-state/out of state) coming to Storrs this weekend. See if offers flow then...

Agreed. I think 2019 is going to be a strong class, though. Maybe not as strong as 2017 but it should be up there.
