Nice post - but its a non sequitur since we are talking about scholarships. WO success stories are posted on aisle 3.

Seriously though, its been a while since we have had a meaningful WO success story (ie actually make a substantive contribution as a starter). I still believe in them, just not enough to think any WO's can make the 2019 season better. Randy's future WO development success stories probably wont be written until 2020 and 2021.

Am I giving him too much credit, or didn't Mason Donaldson play well two years ago? Was it a fluke and we had better receivers than him last year?

I like Donaldson. I don’t think you overthink that. Might just be a Pindell thing & routes. (I liked Shaun Feldheisen too)

I thought someone would bring up Donaldson. Here's the thing, having one great game is not enough to move the needle - especially on a team that has been winning. When I think of substantive WO success story I want to talk about guys that start multiple games all season or play bountiful minutes as a productive back up. Donaldson hasn't really done that yet. He had one great game.

Now - 2019 is a whole new season, maybe Donaldson delivers a big season with production in multiple games. And production in games we actually win and at key moments.

I'm a Donaldson fan, but lets see the next step.

Maybe this was posted already. Fuller with an update which was published yesterday afternoon. I think the text below is notable.

UConn's Edsall not worried about recent departures


“We’re still trying. I’ve got three more guys coming into today. We’ve got five coming in this weekend. We’ve had a lot of official visits,” Edsall said. “June’s a busier month than it’s ever been with the recruiting changes.”

“It’s been good. I’ve been very pleased with what’s taken place. Since January it’s been a total change. And it keeps getting better and better,” Edsall said.

“You see things coming together,” Edsall said. “You see the guys developing the chemistry and the culture you need to give yourself an opportunity to win.”

The three on thursday were perhaps Harrell (2019), Young (2019) and Schuler (2020) and the five this weekend??

CA QB Bennett to Boise State:


'99 percent chance' Boise State QB transfer Kaiden Bennett coming to Nevada

>>Bennett was a three-star dual-quarterback recruit out of high school and picked Boise State over offers from Utah, Cincinnati, UTEP, San Diego State, New Mexico and UConn. He was in his first fall camp with the Broncos but decided to transfer before school started. Kaiden Bennett told local the Idaho Press he was homesick, but his father, Derek, said the bigger issue was the fact he didn't feel like he got a chance to compete for the starting job.

Boise State will start four-star true freshman Hank Bachmeier in its season opener against Florida State.

“Hank Bachmeier was this highly-rated quarterback they had signed in the class," Derek Bennett said. "But they still came and contacted Kaiden, and what Kaiden is not afraid of is competition. He felt he was just as good as him or better and, ‘If you are going to give me a fair chance at winning the job, well I can win this job.’ When he got there, Hank is the highest-rated player in Mountain West football and highest-rated recruit at Boise State. I think the coaches focused on the race being between Chase (Cord) and Hank, and Kaiden got pushed to the back a little bit.<<

What wound up happening with this kid did he move to 2020?

Haven't seen anything on him... I actually looked a while ago when his name came up in site search for something else. He seemingly cleaned up his old Twitter and removed all the mental health/hospital admission stuff. I even checked to see if he might have a new Twitter account.
