LOL @ duplicate pictures. Michigan State sniffing around.

Oregon also showing interest in Baldonado. I hope we land 2 of 4 in Baldonado, Woodson, Surgers and Nwaogwugwu.

Edit Update - now 247 is reporting that Baldonado will visit Oregon on 1/26 and Nebraska on 2/2. Pretty easy to see why we have since extended offers to others. I went from lukewarm to being excited about this kid, just a very nice combination of size and athletic ability with aggressiveness. And with just one year of US football played, coaches must all think there is real upside here. Neither have offered yet...but the offers seem inevitable.

Ragaini to Iowa:

FWIW - was told by someone who has been reliable in past - he wanted out of area school and was waiting for the cards to fall.

That hurts. If he wanted to get away then whatever, I get it. He's going to be really good.

Yet didn't he like some of the twitter posts about him and UConn offering? Well - like many of these CT kids it will be interesting to see how it all goes.

Wasn't this the kid whose football coach was lobbying to UConn to get him an offer? Maybe I've got that mixed up, but if that's the case, it feels like we might have a little egg on our face...

No. He was never offered by UCONN. Would've verballed long ago. He was the best player I've seen in last 5 years. I'm not too happy with the coaching staff right now!
 
Canzeri and now Ragaini. I am sending a trend. Who was the last Italian on the team?

do you coach a college football team? oh you dont? is it possible that they may know more about the situation and his recruitment than you? is it possible that you may be too close to him and think he may be the best thing since sliced bread? who knows maybe he called RE's wife a skank, none of us know why it is he didnt end up at UConn so we wish him the best of luck in his future and MOVE ON.

lol the kid is going to Iowa. I think it's safe to say he's pretty good. He probably had a bunch more offers, too, considering his recruitment was tight lipped and no recruiting service even had this on his offer list

lol. who cares. He aint going to UConn. Thats the end of the story. Right or wrong I dont get the incessant b!tching and moaning on this board. For some reason he didnt end up at UConn, I personally dont care what the reason is, he is going to IOWA and I wish him the best of luck.

Is he going to Iowa on scholarship or is he walking on? One thing we do know is that UConn needs to improve speed and this kid does not have elite speed based on his track times. Doesn't make him a bad football player, but maybe his skill set is not a good fit.

you're complaining more than anyone else ITT. God forbid people want to keep the little in-state talent we have.

>>“I wanted to play for Iowa since I visited this past summer,” Ragaini told HN. “I love their blue-collar mentality and feel like I fit in with that concept.”<<

>>Ragaini considered committing to Boston College or Yale earlier but held out for the Hawkeyes. “Coach O’Keefe was keeping in contact with me and Iowa was where I really wanted to be,” he said.<<

we are keeping in state talent, aside from the top guys that are leaving for P5 programs we are keeping as many of the in state talents as we can. they kid didnt end up at UConn, thats all that matters. also me making 3 comments about how ppl need to stop b!tching that a single kid didnt end up here is not the most complaining that has happened on this thread, trust me.

HERE YOU GO.
 
Everyone in the Baldonado pool (kid’s blown up since we offered - here was his offer list when we offered — Coastal Carolina (commit), Hampton, Jacksonville University, Tusculum, and Urbana University):

fwiw I follow Nebraska recruiting extremely closely (closer than UConn) and I've never even heard this name until now. Curious to see if he actually winds up with an offer/if that visit actually happens

Brandon Collier is becoming an obstical to our recruiting. Shut the heck up.

Congrats to the young.. Hope this one doesn't bite us in the butt later on...

I'm less bothered because I like our two WR commits very much. Time will tell. If WR wasn't the team's strength it would be very different. If we end up taking a third WR this cycle it will be because of something odd in the last days of recruiting where someone like a Steven Gilmore ends up on our door step and we somehow have a slot.

And 247 has a story out this morning talking about his OV scheduled for Michigan State. Not looking good for us here.
 
Yet ....

We still think Offer lists are correct and fully explanatory. This is NOT an efficient market. Asset classes, from my Finance professorship teaching moments, that aren`t efficient leave great opportunities for super-normal returns.
