2018 UConn Commit (Grad Transfer) - Ryan Fines (Bradenton Florida)s

[huskymedic]

If he's a RS sophomore graduating in 3 years he should be immediately eligible with 2 years to play

Huskies also added grad transfer DE Ryan Fines from Miami. He graduated in three years and will have two to play at UConn while he pursues a graduate degree.

In was one opinion, but one of the insiders say Caleb Thomas was the best of the bunch this spring while playing NT. So maybe you start the season with Thomas and Murphy rotating and then you look at whether you need to bring Jones in as a true freshman for some snaps.

Jones is probably going to have to play. I hope he takes advantage off the off-season packet that gets handed out because he will need to get in better shape. He's such an athletic freak already, I can't imagine what he'll be like if he commits to the training program

Supposedly Edsall is saying Fines will be a DE here...according to Mike Anthony

we run a 3-3-5 so... I'm cool with this..

When you add quality talent and depth like this it helps to make everyone else on the line better. Welcome Ryan!

It will be interesting to watch Jones develop. Danny O had some positive things to say about Jonathan Pace from MA.
He talks about his upper body strength in the highlight reel. He looks like he has potential also.

Really excellent pick up. Should be able to battle upfront nicely.

Hope Ryan shows up this summer. We don't seem to have a great history with grad transfers actually making it on to our campus.

Really like this addition! Key position to add a quality player at....immediate eligibility and with two years to play...this is great! Welcome aboard Ryan!
