I am pretty excited about some of these recruits, especially the ones that are in the northeast and/or have been to campus. It would be super terrific to pick up the local product Bothroyd (BC has now offered) for DL, Sams for OL/DL, the athletes Daevon Robinson (who seems to have us as an early favorite) and/or Elijah Jones (NYC guy) or that shifty speedster Boykin (already did an unofficial visit with us).

Bothroyd in particular would be a shame to see lost to BC as a kid from EO Smith High School/Storrs. He looks like one of the better prospects we have had on our radar to replace Fatusaki as a truly disruptive DL guy.

Unless there is a personal connection - growing up in the shadows of campus is a reason I think he may wander. My gut (and admit I can be 100% wrong) is that if he was bent on UConn, he'd have committed already (unless he is waiting for a special meaningful date).

I totally agree with your line of thinking....but I hope he just wants to see some other places/entertain some other offers before sticking with the home town team.

Bobby Haskins is a 6-7 240lb TE from Fairfield Prep, Fairfield CT>> The Hun School in Princeton, New Jersey. Other offers from Kent State, Minnesota, Pitt, Rutgers, Temple, Toledo and UCF

Bobby Haskins highlights

Post graduate TE Bobby Haskins earns 6 FBS offers, including Rutgers, in 1st 2 weeks at Hun
>>Despite UConn now being hot on Haskins' trail, the school didn't recruit him while playing in its own backyard. "That was definitely kind of interesting that while I was going to school in the state, they really didn't have much interest," Haskins said. "But now they are really interested because my body kind of changed a lot."<<

It also helps that we now have real football coaches evaluating prospects and running the show again...thankfully! Watch us this fall and my guess is, you'll like what you see and hopefully want to be a part of it.

Its really interesting that this kid's body changes between seasons and after less than 3 weeks at the The Hun School (to take a fifth year) he now suddenly he has eight offers including ours. Watching the tape, I like his potential to be a solid blocking tight end with catching ability....and perhaps a force on special teams.

Maybe this was already mentioned, but TOS is reporting that Jalin Cooper, a three star 6'4'' WR is planning to visit UConn. He has offers from Rutgers, BC, Syracuse, Buffalo and Army according to 247.
 
When they send out these UConn uni pics of prospects, is that the sign they have taken an official visit to campus?

Not necessarily... I don't believe James or Hawkins have been on campus yet (or at least that I've seen publicly).

I wonder what is the deciding factor to make these photos. Maybe they send them to all kids with an official offer and its up to them to decide if its worth sharing.
