2019 Recruiting Thread

[Hornet22]

Is that really throwing it in their faces though? The kids these days announce their offers almost as validation of their talents.

I totally get that man. I’m just saying when you announce that you committed to a school then perhaps you don’t have to do that. If you haven’t committed then it’s fair game. Boast all the offers you get because I understand the game is driven by ego and leverage. You want schools to know that you’re a hot commodity in order to get more attention.
But when you commit, that game should pretty much end in my opinion.
Like I said, I’m an old hat so....

I had not seen the other replies to your post. We are all OLD school but these kids are new school. Personally not a huge fan of social media.

So how much longer until Lundt commits? Every situation is different, but feels like maybe that could come soon as well.

Of the five (really six) dudes on campus last weekend, three have committed and we are waiting on Lundt, Jerrod Means and Aric Horne. Horne has offers from USF, Rutty and a slew of G5 schools not in the AAC.

My gut is that this was orchestrated as much as it could be... UConn has no camp this weekend but still managed to get commits from three kids to keep folks enagaged in the progress.

Next weekend there is two camps (one on Friday and one on Sunday and I’m thinking they will be crowded and the trend will continue.

Yup. And kids tend to want their day of commitment to themselves I think, maybe that’s why we’ve seen three in a row on different days

Beville is set to visit Pitt on Friday. Wouldn't be surprised if we see a commitment thereafter.

Committed to Pitt today.

[Exit 4]

Pitt had 8 commits this weekend which may have implications for Trent Holler and Bam Brima. Two of the eight commits were on the UConn radar, Bryce Nelms (DE) and Davis Beville (QB).

 

[huskymedic]

Osita Smith just posted, then deleted an offer from Maryland.

 

[Exit 4]

Of the guys we have offered, it seems realistic and possible that the following dudes would camp with us next weekend:
Of course I'd love for many more dudes to make it and I'm sure there will be some surprises, just reading the tea leaves here as to what seems realistic based on comparable offers, etc.

-Osita Smith
-Isaiah Bagnah
-Kris Mitchell
-Jeremiah Fails
-Jaquan Allen
-Zay Flowers (maybe)
-CJ Hanson (maybe)

While we have not offered, I would expect Devaun Ford to make it and maybe his visit goes as well as Jackson Mitchell's visit now that we have an open RB slot. Same situation with Cletus Mathurin - DT at Cheshire.

Hmm. Interesting. I wonder if he’s basically committed here. I hope so

That blows.

With the loss of DJ we are sitting at 9th in the league on 247...I'll take it at this point.

Can't find Winston Jules in the 247 database though so that may change the rankings a little.
