Boooo! I was hoping for someone new. Keep looking for a Bat Signal

Hmmm, maybe this could generate some interesting results. Lots of CT programs with teams with four notables from NY; Shenendehowa - (the big school up in Saratoga/Clifton Park NY), Rye, Harrison and Cardinal Hayes. Most of the FF County schools are playing. Notable private schools include Brunswick and Choate.

>>The Latrobe (Penn.) Greater Latrobe class of 2019 center recently revealed a top four of Connecticut, East Carolina, Pittsburgh and West Virginia among an offer list that also consists of Ball State, Cincinnati, Ohio, and a dozen more. The 6-foot-2, 287-pounder has visited ECU, Pittsburgh and UConn, and he plans to visit West Virginia later this month. <<

>>"If we had to go on a day-to-day basis, it would definitely be ECU," Holler said. "They're talking to me every single day and getting me mail. If it was overall, it would be UConn that's the hardest on me. But ECU, they just keep going at it really consistently."<<

Interesting...day-to-day ECU is showing love but UConn is going the hardest....how much harder can you get than day-to-day?

No disrespect to ECU but if we lost out to them on this kid I'd be mad....

We won’t. They’re going to lose their coach anyway, so even if he did commit I doubt it would stick.

Apparently he is a staunch believer that recruiting is a contact sport. That said, how many of those are "commitable" offers? It might be that he offers 4* knowing full well that FAU has no chance, but also just the chance of having FAU mentioned with the likes of the big boys in recruiting circles is a good thing.

FAU has 4 commits. 3 are from West Palm Beach, and 2 of those are 3* (According to the link).

 

[TheDoggPound]

How come 247 doesn't have Dillon Harris listed as a commit to UConn? Are they hoping he decommits or something?

 

[TheDoggPound]

I'd like for us to pick up Bagnah and Jaquan Allen

TOS has a story up that Kelly Joiner is set to visit UConn on 7/28 and he seems genuinely excited about our program. Nice looking player with some speed.... could be a slot receiver (per the story some schools are recruiting him as a WR) or RB.
