Kaboom. FWIW - Taisun is following the UConn staff and giving out likes to coaching posts on twitter. We seem to be in some sort of contention for now.

It would be incredible if the kid decided he wanted to play at home. Could become a 40 year legend if the chips fall right.

Early look at 2019 CT kids. I expect this list to get to 15 or so by year end.

He’s been following Randy Edsall (and Corey), Wholley, A. Smith, Z and Abitz for a long time. Kid can be transformational here if he continues to develop and wants to be the “man”... P5 pull is gonna be hard to break - just need to stay in the fight to the end.

Yep - he has the opportunity to be a hero for the state if he stays home and ultimately a legend. Thats not hyperbole. And yes - it does seem that he is thinking about it.

Gotta keep getting him up to Storrs and games in the meantime... be great if he attends a Camp session.

Phommachanh has been able to see several schools taking trips to, “Penn State, North Carolina, UConn, Temple, Boston College, USC, UCLA and Maryland.” In March he’ll get back on the road with the goal to see spring practices to get a feel for fit.

But waits there is more planned - including trip south to see Florida State, FL, South Carolina and Clemson.

Phommachanh claims no favorites at this point but says his best relationships are with “Florida State, TCU and South Carolina."

He notes coaching stability and an opportunity to see the field early as important factors.

Edsall and Dunn will have to show that they have a fun and exciting offense to have any chance here (and yes, I know what are chances really are so chilax with the negative nelly posts).
