2018 UConn Football Commits Senior HS Season Reports

Drew Hensen played football and baseball at UM... started over Brady at QB for some of his tenure.

I really think this kid is going to be a stud and one of, if not the best, recruit of this class. We'll see what happens with the QB as he could possibly be the best. However everything I've read or seen about him seems to be great and I really think he's going to shine here. With our D being so young I'll be interested to see of he gets PT this season

I have a good vibe about this kid too. Like everything though, my PTSD symptoms from the past 7 years has me firmly in the “Hopeful, but show me” camp. I might as well move to Missouri.

I think for the most part, the incoming freshman football class at UCONN has been much underated. Many of them will see PT IMO.

Regardless of the incoming freshmen's talents, their ability to get on the field is more about the lack of talent of returning players. Even Bama and OSU sit many of their 5-star incoming players.
 
I hate when facts get in the way of the narrative.

the Buckeyes played 14 true freshmen through its first six games of 2017.

The big story exiting the national title game was the major contribution from Alabama's true freshmen. Ultimately, 17 saw playing time while nine redshirted.

Yes, that is true. In UConn's case this fall the coaching staff will be forced to play many of their freshman, especially on defense. However, my main point is, most predictions on how UConn will win or lose this fall in various games, are not factoring in the strength of UConn freshman class, particularly on defense. With UMass for example, six games into the season, I think we will win that game.

If these incoming freshmen are that much of an upgrade, then the win-loss record will be driven in large part by how fast they adapt to the college game. I think that will take longer than you do. I hope I’m wrong.

That's exactly why I said UMass was six games into the season. UCF will be another story, but even there I don't think the loss will be as bad as some are predicting.

I hope six games is enough.

Let us pray, as starting off on National TV with a home blowout would be brutal.............unless we win.

For defensive lineman and linebackers it is, if they're good coming out of High School. The secondary is another story, freshman DB's usually need more time to learn pass coverage, blitzing, reading the QB, etc. The good news for us is Coyle, Fortt, Terry, and Herring-Wilson are not freshman anymore.

And if any freshmen DBs supplant anyone who played last year, that means they are better and then we as a team are better. Ok, you covinced me. Lets go bowling this year!!!
