Georgia is maybe the most fertile recruiting area in the country. Establishing there would be huge. They are going to have some fights to keep some of these kids.

Welcome Dawg!

Nice! Westminster HS is a pretty elite school. Basically the equivalent of AOF/Loomis in Atlanta. Good to see a guy who can play OT.

 

[JMick]

We need as many lineman as we can get. Glad to see us making inroads in GA

Athletic big guy. Can ball too. Maybe Ollie should add him as a practice player post-football season.

A more skilled version of Lubin.

Julius Williams and Andrew Adams were a couple of overlooked kids down there Edsall found who ended up in the NFL. We also had Taylor Mack and Gary Wilburn and Kelmetrus Wiley. A couple others as well.

Georgia and Alabama seem to be places have been kind to us.

Georgia? No, but it is probably a Top 10 state. That said, Westminster is a big time school and athletics program. Really good to get in there.

I didn't phrase that very well. It seems to be the state that is growing it's stature the quickest.

This is no accident.

from his hudl: very athletic, but doesnt look 280. looks like he has a frame to get to 310.
would like to see more punishment. what potential though!

 

[UC1995]

I feel like though Coach Edsall washed out at UMD he learned the recruiting game from Locksley.... he has an expanded his footprint and not afraid to offer even those who are not likely to come. But by doing so UCONN's name is out there more and more. Good get from GA

Georgia? No, but it is probably a Top 10 state

Arguably Top 3


UConn targeted 6-7 kids from Georgia for 2018.

 

[Jax Husky]

Arguably Top 3

Valid stats, appreciate it. I guess you just hear less about Georgia recruiting in SEC country.

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Peter!!!

 

[jayfromfla]

Thought the initial hiring of Edsel was because of his inroads in ga

 

[TheDrifter75]

Mr Rooney, welcome to the Pound!

 

[uconnbill]

Welcome to Storrs young man.

Two linemen, with two to three more to come. We believe in HCRE

Athletic, quick feet, can long snap - maybe this kid will keep snapping when he gets here. I agree with the others, doesn't look more than 250lbs in the game tape however.
