2019 Recruiting Thread

Wow, I saw more blockers shed in these 4 minutes than I saw from the entire UConn defensive line in 12 games.

Priority recruit.. He can shine right away in our 4 man front on D.. Would be nice to scoop up Zouzoua as well.. We need all the help we can get up front right now.. We absolutely need 2 mature bodies now, not in next year's class...

Flagged but forgot... Savannah Georgia

He’s trying a quick fix, ignore his rhetoric. There’s nothing wrong in this approach, just wish he would can the rhetoric about doing it the right way, getting student/athletes, etc.

Time out ... he ain't talking to you and I. A large part of this is recruiting the next big thing. He has to have the Dave Benedict stating this is the course and the pretty picture. Otherwise, how can you climb out of this deep hole.

Can HCRE evaluate and find the players. I say yes ... but I look sideways here and many say (even with the notion that he was excellent in the 2003-2008 period) he's lost his fastball.

I went looking as well and it seems I (we) missed Hicks along the way:

Nice looking player for the interior. Quick perusal of his twitter activity suggests he's a UCF lean with interest in Wake Forest as well (not sure WF has offered).

Continuing their trek through Georgia...

JuCos and military schools. this is better.

Oregon? Yuck, who would want to go there?

Everytime you see a + level tape you see high quality offers roll in eventually, sometimes soon, sometimes late.

He sure exhibits the passion for the game that Edsall was talking about a couple days ago. Sign him up.

Working and posting don't always combine well. Increases odds of public idiocy.

Nice rapport shown between Exit 4 and huskymedic. Great example for the players on how to get along and love each other.........

@Exit 4 @huskymedic where is Crocker's territory besides South Jersey and how many kids has he pulled in?

@Exit 4 @huskymedic where is Crocker's territory besides South Jersey and how many kids has he pulled in?

Central/Southern NJ, Eastern PA (and CT when he was @ Nova).

Not sure what kids Crocker has been directly involved in (hard to tell specifically for a lot of the UConn Coaches).

Well we know he isn't making himself seen at the Catholic HS in south Jersey. He's a ghost at schools like St. John Vianny and Red Bank Catholic among others down there. For a guy who's defense gives up 50+ points per game working for a HC that constantly states he needs better players those are 2 schools I'd DEFINITELY make myself well known at!
